Politics and the End of the Age

We are now in prophetic times of great importance with many powerful forces of deception and dangers. What is your worldview and against what or whom is it measured? To what shall we compare ourselves? Not that we dare to classify or compare ourselves with some of those who are commending themselves. But when they measure themselves by one another and compare themselves with one another, they are without understanding.” (2 Corinthians 10:12 ESV)

Man’s imagination has turned to evil reality and unrestrained is getting worse fast, and it’s spreading just as fast. “Hear the word of Yehovah, O children of Israel, for Yehovah has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land. There is no faithfulness or steadfast love, and no knowledge of God in the land;” (Hosea 4:1 ESV)

The end of end-time politics will demonstrate perfectly the failure of the left, the right and the centre. It will demonstrate the failure of the god of democracy itself, because its major participant, the true God Yehovah, has been replaced.

Of course, God does use politicians for His purposes. God raises up and brings down world leaders according to His will.“Daniel answered and said: ‘Blessed be the name of Yehovah forever and ever, to whom belongs wisdom and might.’” (Dan 2:20 ESV)

End-time politics will finally prove once and for all that fallen mankind cannot save itself. It will demonstrate how incredibly dangerous it is to be in a battle, blind as a bat and ignorant of the circumstances.

Politics believes it can bring a better life, liberated from its problems. The lie of the liars of liberation is that they can and will bring liberation eventually to all.

There are certain things that are politically and spiritually neutral, but there are some things that bring specific curses with them. How can a politician promise blessing from a cursed source?

National religious freedom includes the right to worship freely and to express that worship. We are now seeing what the Bible calls sin, enshrined in law in many nations.

A new bill has been passed in the House of Representatives and presently is in a committee in the Senate called the HR5 Equality Bill. (https://www.congress.gov/ bill/116th-congress/house-bill/5/text).

The bill normalizes and legalizes LBGT behaviour in private homes and businesses of all people, making them fully equal in all respects. But that is not the problem. The bill essentially criminalizes opposition to it wherever it is expressed. That violates the believer’s conscience. It criminalizes biblical teachings!

According to Charisma News (https:// www.charismanews.com/world/58295-7-000-churchesfasting-praying-over-terrifying-new-persecution-law) in Russia a new anti-terrorism law was signed by Putin. The law prevents foreign guests from speaking in Russian churches unless they have a work permit. Sharing your faith with non-believers will be punishable. Religious activity is no longer permitted in homes. Every citizen is obliged to report those who break these new laws. You may not pray or study the Bible in the presence of a nonbeliever. Church altar calls are no longer permitted.

And More

There is a new bill in the works in South Africa to regulate religion. (https://forsa.org.za/proposed-regulation-of -religion-in-sa/). It will have the same effects as some of the points of the Russian bill.

Religious restrictions are happening all over the world (https://news.yahoo.com/government-restrictionsreligion-increasing-worldwide-210104706.html)

The problem with politics is that it has become the machinery of the god of this world and people treat it like a god. It has become the delivery vehicle of many cursed beliefs and practices. The thinking is that if a majority agrees on any issue, it is right. How wrong that is! The world has become dedoctrinated of God’s word, and indoctrinated with complacency, mediocrity and evil.

All the power of politics can’t get rid of sin. The power found in science and technology can’t get rid of sin. Medicine can’t get rid of sin. Psychology and its words can’t get rid of sin. Strong, powerful emotions, can’t get rid of sin. Socio-political laws, actions and philosophies can’t get rid of sin. Ethnic culture can’t get rid of sin. Religion, keeping laws and doing works, can’t get rid of sin.

“Cursed is the man who trust in man and makes flesh his strength ...He shall be like a shrub in the desert and not see good when it comes. Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is in Yehovah.” (Jeremiah 17:5-7)

“Did we not strictly command you not to teach in this name? Look you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and you intend to bring this Man’s blood upon us. Then Peter and the other apostles said: “We ought to obey God rather than men.” (Acts 5:28-29)
