Here we go again

 Here We Go Again!

By Richard P. Joseph




Revelation 9: 10 They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men five months. 


I have to admit that if I were to join the crowd I could come up with a very good “end of the world” scenario using our current global crisis.  All of the ingredients are right.  We have megalomaniacs running around attempting to inject the entire seven billion humans on earth with a gene changing poison that would torment men worldwide.  The plot is actually true and fully diabolical.  But is this the end of the world?  

If scripture is taken out of context and time markers are completely ignored then the covid scam could easily seem to fulfill many of the images given in the book of Revelation.  But I heard this story before; many times before and it won’t be the last time.  Actually I believe that those evil people that are perpetuating this plague on the earth use the same methods that were historically used.  There is nothing new here really.  For example, the NAZIS used outright lying propaganda to control the masses and silenced anyone who disagreed or told the truth.  Since the new NAZIS, the Democratic Party, is using the same exact methods, does that mean that we are fulfilling what happened during WWII?  No, it does not mean that.  It only means that we are fulfilling our current evil proclivities using the same methods.  The results will be similar may I suggest, but this is not 1945, it is 2022.  The book of Revelation was written in about AD63 and was completely fulfilled by AD70.  There is nothing left to be fulfilled from that prophecy.  Just because some of the evil methods are being used by today’s current atheists doesn’t mean that it is the fulfillment of Revelation.  It would be wiser to use our current situation to create a great awakening but instead the pundits are trying to assign it to something that will never happen, “the end of the world”.  Revelation, and all associated eschatological prophecies, were a prediction of “the end of the Jewish age”, not the end of the “world”.  In fact there really isn’t any scripture that predicts the end of the physical world.  The end of Judaism was the focus of what Jesus preached, never the end of the world.  Judaism fell in the year AD 70 and the Mosaic economy with it.  Jesus became the fulfillment of all prophecy and thus we are now living in what is labeled “the age to come”.  There is no end to the Christian age, it is eternal.  

So, even though we are now living in catastrophic times, our focus should be to awaken and educate the people to what is really happening.  This should be a time of unparalleled evangelism but instead people are preaching the end of the world.  Let’s take this great opportunity to reach the uneducated and bring them into the fold of Christ.  Then, and only then, can we win this battle.
