Do you really want to know?

Do you really want to know what’s going on and why? Really? Are you sure? Will you believe it?

A CROOKED PATH

 

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places

Ephesians 6:12 — English Standard Version

 

No one really needs to know more than that if they really want to know the how, why, what, and who of things. Really. To not merely read the above, to not merely know it is enough. It takes belief. And belief then spurns on action within the individual heart and life. This is the starting point if you want to know why everything is as it is.

Then return to the Word of God and get past all the detours, delays, noise, confusion, misdirection, and out and out lies of the world by placing your heart, mind, spirit, and time in the Word of God.

Because anyone who does not believe this and places their hope, trust, faith, and energy, their focus on a man or woman, a politician, a form of human government, a human institution, a manmade law or document, an election — any faith and hope and trust ill-placed on any person or thing of this corrupted and rotting world of darkness and evil is doomed. From the outset.

Do not get confused with modern titles and words. We’re at war with Molech [Moloch], Baal, Asherim, Ashtoreth, Ishtar, and the list goes on with the names changing but not the idol worship of these false gods.

You aren’t at war with liberals, democrats, conservatives, republicans, Washington, D.C., or electronic voting machines, or the electoral college or anything the dung flung by almost everyone says it’s all about.

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places Ephesians 6:12

Nothing has changed throughout the thread of human history. Save technology and how it has worked in people to give them the illusion that those in whatever present time there is that they are somehow different. No one ever has been or is.

There is no new thing under the sun.

Solomon knew that. He was wiser than you or I.

It’s God vs. Satan.

God’s people, the remnant of those who were once darkness but by the free gift of grace from God and the working of the Holy Spirit in their hearts and spirits they no longer are darkness but are light, children of God. Through faith in the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, through faith and obedience to the living Word of God.

Satan’s people. The world. Those who rebel against God and against the Lord Jesus Christ.

Only those two kinds of people on earth at any time in human history.

God’s people are always a remnant.

Satan’s the majority.

Hell must then be much larger than heaven unless one aspect of hell is no room to move and confinement, souls writhing in agony and gnashing piled upon each other. A sea of lost darkness and pain for eternity.

Hey, do you really want to know or not? Because no TV news outlet, no government, no politician, no university, no professor, no person is going to tell you what’s really going on and the how, what, why, and who of it — unless you happen across a person who once was darkness and now is light by the grace of God to finally know, to finally see, to finally hear.

Believe in the truth rather than the constant churning lies of the corrupted world.

It’s all about evil and holiness, righteousness, my brothers, sisters, and friends. It’s all about God’s rightness, God’s Word, and God’s righteousness vs. Satan’s lies and evil.

Period.

And who is on which side.

And there are only two. Contrary to the world’s lies.

 

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.

Ephesians 6:10-20 — English Standard Version
