End Times—must it be ALL Doom and Gloom?

Today the world is in chaos of wars, pandemic and threats of cyber takeover. What is anyone doing to fix it? Is there a fix? With nearly two and a half billion Christians in the world and 20 million Jews, one would think there might be an answer coming from the Judeo/Christian world as to how to repair it. Yet many of the Biblical prophecies paint a picture of doom and gloom for the end of the age. At least those are the prophecies that seem to dominate the religious world view (and I am speaking in terms of a biblically religious mindset). Both Jews and Christians in their fundamentalist majorities look for a messiah to come and fix things, either to take all the good people to Heaven or to create peace on earth.
Most Protestants believe the Pope will again take power and that it is inevitable that the “deadly wound will be healed.” They are just waiting for it to happen so Jesus can come. Friends, this does not have to happen, though it will if we just sit around and let it come to pass. It is true that the Pope is part of the World Elites, but if they are not righteous, they will fall…But perhaps they need a little help falling. My understanding is that the righteous are not to be removed from the earth. (Proverbs 10:30).
Unfortunately, the popular religious paradigms create the sense of fatalism that the religious world is drowning in. And partly for this reason, few look to themselves as possible powerhouses to stop the increasing wickedness and chaos around them. Let someone else do it. Or worse, wait for the Messiah to come and fix everything. Complacency and dependence on religious and political organizations and world leaders has opened the door to domination by the globalists and their agenda. Shall we go down on our knees and pray for the Messiah? Or shall we more successfully roll up our sleeves and start the movement ourselves? Is it indeed hopeless? We see activists threatened, imprisoned, tortured and we shudder. Would this impede the progress or deny the work of the prophets to turn things around from a scenario that truly models the 4 horses of the Apocalypse? What if we could make a difference and put the world back on track? Is it humanly possible at this point? And what do other prophecies actually say? And what is the Messianic Age all about anyway? Is there not a fore-running movement to the appearance of any messiah? Both Christians and Jews believe that Elijah comes before the Messiah, but who or what is Elijah? Could it be a movement? And could this movement be other than a religious movement?
There are some very interesting prophecies that have perhaps been overlooked that may show a different picture.
Isa 41:25: “I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as upon mortar, and as the potter treads clay.”
Isa 63:5: “And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.”
Psa 91:7: “A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.”
Isa 43:2: When you pass through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when you walk through the fire, you shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
Prov. 10:30 “The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.”
Psa 37:22: “For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.”
Psa 37:28-29: “For the LORD loves judgment, and does not forsake his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.”
Psalm 125:1: “They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abides for ever.”
These are amazing promises, but what happens when we see the opposite happening, the righteous being forsaken and the wicked being set up, is this a time to rise in the strength promised us to fight the dragon at all costs? Where are the brave men like Caleb and Joshua? Where are the women like Deborah and Jael?
Are there any brave souls left or are we all lulled to sleep by the poison pills of pandemic and mass formation psychosis? Are we awake enough to avoid being woke?
The example of Sodom is before us. The escape of Lot before the fire fell is what will happen to the righteous if they do not wake up in time to take the rightful reins into their hands. Are we just waiting to be delivered or do we have an active job to do so that the world does not come to this point.
I hear people claiming that they are just waiting for the nuclear war to end it all. Waiting? I ask. Hmm. And so we will just all die and that will be the end, let someone else fight the wars, and if we die then I guess it was meant to happen. This fatalism is going to get us in trouble.
Where is the courage of Queen Esther who against the law of the King, went in before him uninvited to appeal the life of her people? Are we so rules bound that we cannot defy unlawful government regulations? Why do we let them make us destroy our own health by obeying their tyrannical laws of mask wearing and vaccines and this is only a start.
If ever there was a time to give kudos to righteous lawbreakers it is now. And I don’t mean robbers and murderers. I mean people who protest in the face of this tyranny.
Does the Bible promise that the righteous will be protected if they do nothing? I think if we follow that logic we are doomed to the same end-times doom and gloom. Who received praise from the Almighty? David, who bravely killed the giant, Jonathan who with his armour bearer routed the Philistines, Gideon who with a handful of men conquered the Midianites….That is only a beginning.
I want to see someone arise who is not “in it for the money,” nor the popularity. Someone righteous enough to stand for principle though the earth tremble under his/her feet. And I promise to join this person, if not with arms, at least with my words and encouragement.
How about you?
