So many yearning for a return to “normal” not realizing there is no going back to anything once past, once the door is pushed open, and also not aware that “normal” life on earth only existed for a short time compared to the balance of world history. Normal was how God created the earth and all things in it. Normal was that perfection. Then man and woman in their arrogance and disobedience destroyed “normal” and things have never been the same, and never will be, until the Lord Jesus Christ returns and eventually all that has been known is rolled up like a scroll, vaporized, and God [God the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit] create a new heaven and a new earth.

Then normalcy will be restored.

But not until then.

And until then everything is just going to continue to erode, break down and grow worse.

With most blind, ignorant, arrogant, and utterly lost as they stumble about in their darkness.

And this isn’t all about earthquakes, storms, weather changes, pandemics that will become endemics, and economic upheaval and wars and rumors of wars, though all of those things and more are signs given. Mostly ignored, not believed, because the overwhelming majority can’t handle reality and know nothing of Scripture. Even those professing to be “Christians” most do not know what is contained within the Word of God.

And it’s all going to continue to crumble, fall, erode, rot and break down. More and more.

And delusion, denial, arrogance, and ignorance will increase parallel to the escalation of the signs, turmoil, rebellion, and eventual demise of this world as it has been known.

There is no going back to anything.

There is no leaving the moment, the times, and moving forward to something.

For we create what is forward with everything done now and live now as a result of everything done back then — past us. Which we vainly, stupidly imagine we can somehow recapture and reside in.

Foolish, foolish, and blind people!

Scurrying about asking questions, in fear, in denial, in delusion, increasing the banality and insanity [see Romans 1] as almost all refuse to go to the one true, clear source of every answer to every question, that which can calm every fear, belie denial and turn it to belief, take delusion and knit it into awareness and wisdom of reality, a knowing beyond any worldly knowledge. Go to the Book of books. Go to the only book that can reveal to you past, present, and FUTURE world history. All the facts in greater detail than any other book ever printed on earth. Go to the inerrant infallible living and active Word of God!

All the signs? Sure, they’re all there to see and hopefully understand. [See Mr. Snyder’s article below these brief comments of mine]. But know this dear friend, the signs merely point to the increasing sin committed, the increasing abominations occurring, the increasing turning from God and turning to lies and false teachings. And as sin, evil, turning from God, turning from the Word of God, turning from the faith, turning to evil, turning to the lies and banality and false teachings of this world, so, too, will the signs become more glaring and intense. So, too, will life become more and more difficult. To the point unless God shortened the days the days being so evil even the elect would fall away.

If aware, if paying attention, if keen and possessing true wisdom, spiritual wisdom then one knows that there are myriad things taking place that have never happened in world history. And that the days are growing shorter. And evil is rising, more brazen, and the people craving that which is wrong and spitting on that which is right. More than a few things are now more different and changing as they never have in world history. One example, the family; New stats show only 18% of American homes are married families with kids, Faith and Fertility vs. Plague of the Century. Those are but two recent examples. Another? The church Leaving Religion in the Pandemic (AUDIO + TEXT). Again, but one small example and a book could be written on others. There are more. Oh, there are many, many more. Pay attention. Come to know. Come to possess that spiritual wisdom — but one must be a true believer, a true disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ, a true Christian that has experienced true transformation and renewing by the power of the Spirit of God to come to this wisdom, and they can increase this wisdom by merely asking for it — and faithfully obediently believing God will give what he promised [search James to learn of this if unaware].

You want a return to “normal”? Then that doesn’t entail going back to the 1950s, the 1980s, or even 2018. That entails going to God, going to the Lord Jesus Christ, going to the Holy Spirit, going to the Word of God, going to a renewing of mind and spirit to truly see, truly hear. And coming to the knowledge the world was only “normal” prior to the disobedience of man and woman turning from God and turning to serving self, serving evil, serving the prince of the air. And nothing will become “normal” again until and unless an individual becomes a true disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ, endures, perseveres, believes, obeys, and fights the good fight to come to know and reside for eternity in the new heavens and the new earth.

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

John 3:36 — English Standard Version

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Isaiah 5:20 — King James Version

The Pharisees and Sadducees Demand Signs

And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and to test him they asked him to show them a sign from heaven. He answered them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” So he left them and departed.

Matthew 16:1-4 — English Standard Version

And He, the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back…one more time…

Only this time it will not be as a babe in a manger [Oh, see Revelation 19 as to how the Lord will come to earth the next time He comes].

Merry Christmas my friends, this will be the last posting here until after Christmas Day.

I pray all of you have a joyous, blessed time. And time spent in prayer and in the Word of God, in remembrance and true knowledge and understanding of what Luke 2 means, what Matthew 2 means, and how every other word in the Word pertains to that babe that was fully man while also being fully God, and that Lord that is coming back [don’t forget to study Revelation 19 and everything else from Genesis on] and not merely in material lusts from removing gift wrapping and gluttony sitting at a table overflowing with food.

Be kind. Be gentle. Be loving. Be in the Word, be of the Word, be faithful and obedient to Jesus making Him Lord of your life.

And let it begin with me, the lowly sinner that I am undeserving of the free gift of grace, knowledgeable of the sacrifice made by God to take my sin in exchange for my faith and obedience. Oh, what a price He paid that I can never begin to repay! So, I say, pray, fall prone [if physically able, if not physically able fall prone in your heart and spirit] before the Lord in thanks, in service, in faith, in obedience.

ACP — A Crooked Path

Can You See The Signs That Are Happening All Around Us?

December 20, 2021

By Michael Snyder

Reprinted from End of the American Dream

Just because most people have eyes does not mean that they are able to see.  We live at a time when global events are going haywire all around us, but the vast majority of the population is still asleep.  Even though our world is being rocked by pestilence, economic troubles, wars and rumors of wars, widespread civil unrest and great natural disasters, most people simply assume that life will eventually return to “normal” at some point.  Sadly, that isn’t going to happen.  I am entirely convinced that global events will continue to accelerate as we head into 2022, and most people will be absolutely blind-sided by what is coming because they just didn’t want to believe that things could ever get so bad.

It seems like each new day brings us some sort of a new disaster.  For example, on Monday the California coast was hit by a magnitude 6.2 earthquake…

A magnitude 6.2 earthquake hit Northern California on Monday, bringing significant shaking but likely minimal damage to the sparsely populated area.

The earthquake occurred just after noon and was centered off the coast about 210 miles northwest of San Francisco, just off a tiny town called Petrolia that’s home to fewer than 1,000 people. The nearest population center, Eureka, is about 45 miles north.

The good news is that the area where this quake struck is sparsely populated and not much damage was done.

So a lot of people will forget about this earthquake very quickly, but that is a huge mistake.

Seismic activity is increasing all over the world, and this is especially true along the Ring of Fire.  For much more on this, please see my recent article entitled “With Just Weeks To Go Until 2022, The Ring Of Fire Is Suddenly ROARING To Life”.

Last week, the eyes of the nation were on the extreme winds and violent tornadoes that erupted in the middle of the nation.  According to the Weather Channel, what we witnessed was some of the strangest weather in the history of the upper Midwest…

Wednesday’s widespread windstorm, severe weather outbreak, and unusual heat from the Rockies and Plains into the upper Midwest were so bizarre for December that even weather historians were in awe according to the Weather Channel.

“I can say with some confidence that this event – the heat and tornadoes – is among the most, if not the most, anomalous weather events ever on record for the upper Midwest,” weather historian Christopher Burt said.

The damage that was caused by the tornadoes was simply jaw-dropping, and the power of the windstorms completely shocked a lot of the experts.

In fact, we are being told that last Wednesday the U.S. experienced “the highest number of hurricane-force gusts in a single 24-hour period” ever recorded.

When wind speeds are that high, wildfires can easily get out of control, and almost 400,000 acres were burned in the state of Kansas “in less than three days”…

As of Thursday, the Forest Service reported nearly 400,000 acres had burned across the state in less than three days. The bulk of that — almost 366,000 acres — was in the four-county area.

Many farmers lost everything.  In some cases, the fires moved so fast that there was not even time to move animals out of the way.

One firefighter that was on the front lines said that he had never seen fire move so rapidly in his entire life…

“It looked like a massive, massive ball of rolling fire and smoke,” said Keith Haberer, emergency manager for Russell and Ellsworth counties.

Haberer, who has worked as a firefighter and emergency manager for more than 20 years, described the blaze as “incredible.” He said he had never seen fire move that fast.

A record number of billion-dollar natural disasters hit the United States in 2020, and I believe that we are going to absolutely smash that record again in 2021.

But this is all perfectly “normal”, right?

Of course the entire globe has been hit by disaster after disaster during the past two years, and this has brought us to the brink of an unprecedented global food crisis.  The following originally comes from the Washington Post…

Because of the pandemic, global hunger shot up by an estimated 118 million people worldwide in 2020, jumping to 768 million people, the most since as far back as 2006. The number of people living with food insecurity — or those forced to compromise on food quantity or quality — surged by 318 million, to 2.38 billion.

Global food supplies are going to get even tighter in 2022 and beyond, but don’t worry, because the elite are telling us that if things get bad enough we can just eat bugs.

In fact, many different forms of bug will soon be available for purchase in supermarkets all over Europe…

European member states certified house crickets, yellow mealworms, and grasshoppers as food fit to be sold at supermarkets. 

The bugs will be sold in frozen, dried, and powdered forms and will be packed with nutrients and low-cost, according to Bloomberg. Earlier this month, the World Economic Forum published two articles explaining how people must get used to eating bugs. Those who can no longer afford meat, such as ham or turkey, and other traditional holiday foods will come to find a new substitute.

Before I end this article, let me mention one more thing that I am keeping an eye on.

Not too long ago, scientists discovered an absolutely gigantic comet that will be traveling through our solar system…

This discovery could be one for the record books, leading some to call it a “mega comet.” It is estimated to be between 60 and 230 miles wide, which could make it the largest comet ever discovered, EarthSky said.

To put the size in context, Halley’s Comet is about 3.5 miles wide, Long Island is 118 miles long and part of the Florida peninsula is 160 miles across.

Scientists are assuring us that we will have nothing to worry about when it makes its closest approach to the sun in 2031.

But at this point it is so far away that they can’t even give us an accurate estimate of how big it is.

So the truth is that they don’t really know how it will behave.

We live in such unusual times, and every day there are more truly bizarre things for me to write about.

But most of the population still wants to believe that someday we will all wake up and everything will be back to normal.

Of course the truth is that this isn’t a dream that we can just wake up from at some point.  The changes that we are witnessing are permanent, and the pace of change is only going to intensify during the months and years to come.
