Endings are always there from the beginning…

ACP — A Crooked Path

I wrote a piece a long time ago titled, Everything for the end was created in the beginning, or a similar title. It’s been a long time. That arose from email conversations I had with a Christian woman whom I never met but we’d have voluminous email conversations about the condition of the world and Christianity. And I wrote one time, in an email everything for the end was created in the beginning, or similar words.

That led to the earlier column.

This one is similar but different.

We’re not going all the way back to the beginning of God saying, “Let there be…” and all that there is now is.

We’re only going back to when America began to die. Or thereabouts.

And, just as in an individuals life, wherein the sands of time running out towards death starts from the moment of birth and entrance into this world, the same is true of a nation, a people — but we’re not going that far back to our birth as a nation. We’re going to start at the age of maturity when the United States of America came of age and a superpower, and this is prior to WWII and the atomic age, and how we began our downward spiral from that point.

Although subtle and not noticed. Exactly like the aging process hurtling towards physical human death. One day a person looks in the mirror, the back of their hands, and says or thinks, “How did I get here so quickly?”

The impetus for this is the result of our past general election and an individual I know. A lifelong friend. Who also happens to be a relative. Six months younger than I am. We grew up together and have been good friends for over 60 plus years.

While I am not pleased with the outcome of the recent election I also have the perspective of a renewed mind and spirit, born anew disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ, a child of God. A true Christian.

Those individuals who believe they are going it alone, can go it alone, and place their faith in themselves, in a nation? The things and people, the institutions of this world? They can become a lot more distraught. Filled with anger. Bitterness.

I wrote to my dear, lifelong friend, that the outcome of this recent election is not the end of the world. That’s coming a little bit later and is far more important than any U.S. election, or even America.

I know he was not amused, but as I said, we’ve been very good friends through a lot for over 60 plus years and I am very open, blunt, and vocal with my friend. Knowing he might not like some of the things written or said by me to him. Things though he needs to hear.

So what does that have to do with what this column is supposed to be about?

Everything. We’re getting there. Don’t rush through the journey. We’ll eventually arrive and there is no turning this vehicle around no matter the ruckus coming from the backseats.

It is very dangerous to place faith in any man. In any nation. In any system of government. In any election. In anything of this world.

I realize it’s almost impossible for any individual even true believers to live thusly at times, and it appears downright impossible to those without the Lord Jesus Christ as their Head, and God as their Father, and the Holy Spirit as their Comforter and Guide, their Helper, and living without the foundation of the Word of God is like being adrift upon a tempestuous and deadly dark sea in a tiny ship without a rudder, without a Captain, without provisions, without a compass.

Not a good scene is it?

So, what’s all this have to do with the ending being present from the beginning?

Everything.

We’re going to skip quickly through the coming of age, of the great travail — even greater than the American Civil War. While the U.S. Civil War nearly tore this nation apart altering history forever THIS travail I mention being greater brought America front and center into the dawn of GLOBALISM and the beginnings of the quest of foolish men to imagine a world without wars and whereby the world could have individual nations but the world could live as one nation. No more wars. World War I. And the resulting League of Nations. Woodrow — deluded beyond words — Wilson. Among a legion of others. And while you may not believe this, World War I has never ended and set up all the pieces, players in place for what each person on earth now lives in their daily lives. The brief interlude of imagined peace between WWI and WWII, which was just a continuation of the former, was merely all the pieces and players working everything out to bring about WWII and present-day life as it is known. Even though most abhor history, ignore history, refuse to learn everything that happened in the first 20 years of the 20th century, in the following 20 years, and from 1929 through 1948 are dictating EVERYTHING each person does, believes, knows, so on in the world.

The men involved in all this were providing some of the lyrics to that banal and utterly lost song, Imagine, written by John Lennon, a man many believed so enlightened that walked in utter darkness his short life on earth;

…Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothin’ to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people livin’ life in peace
Yoo, hoo, oo-oo…

Through all of this, through all the wars, the struggles, the economies rising and falling, all the wealth, all the growth, all the expansion, all the so-thought advancements, the everything of it all men and women place their faith in either themselves or other men and women, or in institutions, or in the nations, the governments that govern over them — rather than seeing and knowing the perpetual spiritual war, the longest, most deadly ongoing war in world history. A war that began in the Garden of Eden one distinct day and has only escalated without ever ceasing for so much as a nanosecond. Worldwide. Within and around every person who has ever lived, is living, or yet will live.

Yet, as my good lifelong friend? They refuse to go to the root of it all. The root of everything taking place that happens. Everything! The spiritual war between God’s rightness, God’s will and ways, and Satan, the god of this earth for a season, the prince of the air and his wickedness, his nothing but lies and evil.

And each person is consigned to one army, one side or the other.

No exceptions.

And from the time of World War I, and the bringing about of the doomed to failure before it even began League of Nations, to every gullible and foolish world leader who did not take Hitler and the Nazi’s seriously, all except Winston Churchill who knew but was mocked and ridiculed continually, yet was proved right, to the blind greed and excess of the 1920s, to the blindness and living the good life thinking it was going to last forever of the 1950s and early 1960s.

To forming another even grander failure, the United Nations, and every president elected in the United States from after World War II to the Barack Hussein Obama administration, yes, including the Reagan administration, all have been diligent advocates and minions of GLOBALISM and either working with the knowledge or being used without their knowledge in the further advancement of One World Government, One World Religion and thinking that insipid and banal song by Lenno could actually become reality as they all denied human nature — imagining in vain and foolishness that mankind is inherently good rather than inherently evil with nothing but evil thoughts all the day and night long!

Men and women imagining they are gods not in need of God. That they are the power and seeking their own glory rather than knowing God is the power and He ought to be given all the glory in all things.

Let’s now fast forward to this moment.

There are many things I do not like about Donald Trump. Many things. Yet I do know he worked to reduce the murder of human babies. He worked on the behalf of Israel and God’s chosen people and that nation. He recognized Jerusalem as the city it is. He asked leaders of nations slaughtering Christians, such as the president of Nigeria, “Why are you allowing the murder of Christians?” He stood up to Islam. He stood up to Communist China. He is NOT a GLOBALIST.

But know this all the angry, bitter individuals, either professing to be one of God’s children or not, all kings fall. At some point. And evil is growing in power. Evil has enlisted more soldiers on its side in the past 40, 50 years than in the previous 500 years. Especially in America, and, yes, I’m aware America was not around 500 years ago. Worldwide evil has enlisted more in the past 40, 50 years than in the previous 500. And America has eroded more in the past 40, 50 years than in our previous 190, 195 years.

Evil left focusing on adults and began to focus on the youth, on children beginning in the late 1950s and has increased its focus and efforts there ever since.

And now legions of adults who grew up from the late 1970s to the present walk in lockstep with evil more synchronized than the marching before the Fuhrer Nazi boots of the 1930s and 1940s, or those high shiny boots goose-stepping still in North Korea and elsewhere attempting to impress the king as the thousands, the legions are all in the same rhythm without missing a beat before the evil king.

Donald Trump was always only going to be for a season. A very little season. He was merely a bit of a delay in evils advancing its GLOBALIST lies of we can all live as one, imagine no borders, imagine no countries, imagine no wars, imagine saving the earth to boot! imagine living in peace, imagine no illness, while Bill Gates and those in his movement eliminate 3,000,000,000 folks to save the earth and make life here “sustainable” in green little cars, in green little homes, taking all their green to the Cayman Islands and banks in Switzerland, imagine all the GLOBALISTS singing in harmony…it’s easy if you try as they work night and day to make the truth die!

To any professed believer out there living in fear? Worried? Angry about the outcome of the U.S. election? Placing a higher priority on America and nationalism and any man or woman, any institution, on nationalism than they ought to?

You’d better get right with the Lord. Sooner than later and get your heart, your mind, your spirit, and your priorities in order. Soon.

To those otherwise of mind and spirit? Like my lifelong friend? Angry. Fuming. Depressed. Sad to see how they imagined America in their nostalgic minds disappearing, even though America began truly dying in earnest about 100 years ago now? Only it’s been a slow process — although like in an individuals life there comes a point the age, the illness, the years, the disease, the neglect accelerates and makes more visible the signs of the coming death — to those putting their faith in themselves, in men and women, in a government, a nation, in institutions and ignoring, denying God? The Lord Jesus Christ? The Holy Spirit? The Word of God in all this? In all things? Those who stop at politics, at the words and ways and explanations of this world and go no further? No deeper?

Well, no one knows how many more heartbeats or breaths God will bless us with and it would behoove any person resembling the latter, as well as the former description to get themselves right while they are still able. Genuinely. Not falsely. Not living a lie. But genuinely come to see, hear, feel, know and believe the Truth, the Way, the Light, the Life — Jesus Christ the Lord and God the Father, as in the Bible. Not according to any denomination, according to what men or women might say, but as in the Word of God!

And come to know that everything for the end has been present from the beginning. And the end of America, the earnest visible end,  began about 100 years ago and is rapidly accelerating. The GLOBALISTS are not going to be deterred. Not by anyone one man. Not by a nation’s Constitution. Not by anyone election.

My wife and I, if we watch television and it is not a nature program, or some zoo program, or Antiques Roadshow or something similar, or me watching some history program, we watch exclusively programs produced, written, directed and acted from either the United Kingdom, Australia, or New Zealand. It’s just worked out that way. And we were recently watching a new program out of England, a modern-day political program, on PBS, and during one episode the public servant met with tow men he had been associated with in shady dealings for decades who operated a thnk tank. And in the course of their discussion in a closed restaurant that they had opened for their meeting, the one man from the think tank says to the politician who at that point was a minister in the British government, when the minister inquired if the current prime minister was going to be a problem in their continuing their work — one of the heads of the think tank replied, “It doesn’t matter who the prime minister is, they will not keep us from accomplishing our work.”

And that’s true dear ones.

Presidents, Senators, Representatives, Ministers of Parliament, Ministers of Government (like Secretary’s and cabinet members in America) none of these will halt what evil intends to accomplish here on earth.

Do not put your faith in them. At least to not believe they have the answers or the solutions.

For everything for the swiftly coming ending has been with us from the beginning — the evil hearts of man. The willful disobedient hearts and spirits of men and women. Our very natures. And the free choices the overwhelming majority make each day.

Yet do not despair. Do not grow weary. Do not become angry or reside in anger and bitterness. Do not live in fear. Or doubt.

God’s will be done. In all things.

God’s will be done on earth, as in heaven.

And every word, every jot, and tittle of the Word of God is being fulfilled and revealed.

Look. Listen. Hear. See. Feel. Smell. Know. Believe.

And live accordingly.

Because do you really know how many more heartbeats you have? How many more breaths?

Are you going to gamble your eternity?

Really?

I hope and pray not and hope we see each other in heaven one day…one eternal day in heaven dear one.

And please do me a big favor? Pray that lifelong friend and relative of mine enter into the Light, the Way, the Truth, and the Life — because he might be 6 months younger than me, but he’s no spring chicken! As I’ll be punching number 68 in about 7 weeks.

To those not knowing? Read Romans. Read Romans 1. Read in Romans about being justified by faith. About everyone falling short of the glory of God and being a sinner in need of forgiveness, in need of God’s mercy, in need of salvation only known and available through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ and faith in Him, and living a life making Jesus Lord of one’s life, being obedient to Him. Becoming His disciple. And what that means. And read more than Romans. And do more than read. Read in faithful prayer. Asking for the Holy Spirit to reveal what is in those words in God’s Word.

Even those professing faith for 30, 40 years need to do this and do not know everything and need to humble, submit, and find newness in the words and their meanings daily.

Do not hesitate.

Do not waste time.

Do not enter into the wrong eternal gate dear one…

It was only an election. Certainly not 100% Kosher, ethical, or on the up and up. Only God and Jesus know the shenanigans, the darkness, the evil that it encompassed, and everything that took place.

It is not the end of the world.

That comes a wee bit on down the road…for everyone…not just Americans…
