The Ignorant Fisherman Abounding Lawlessness - Signs of the Last Days and the Lord Jesus' Return
Dear friends, The Bible speaks very clearly of these Last Days and testifies to this fallen world what the social conditions will be before Christ's return (Romans 10:2-4, 1 Tim. 3:1-7,2 Tim. 4:1-3, Jude, 1:10, Rev. 3:14-22). At present, today's secular progressive movement is being EXPONENTIALLY stoked by the super fallen intelligences of fallen angels (i.e., demons) while dominating and influencing the entire world via the supra 24/7 mediums of this global high tech day! These angelic fallen ones are setting the stage and preparing today's world for Lucifer's lawless minion and the global worship of godlessness and lawlessness; Satan himself and his lawless super -ultra fascist world leader will be the sole focus at that time of all worship and the demonic standard for that fallen world in the day (2 Thess. 2:3-12, Rev.13). Lawlessness fueled by lawlessness and deceived by lawlessness will only bring about EXPONENTIAL abounding lawlessness, ruin, anarchy, violence and ETERNAL ruin! Do not be deceived! All of today is heading to this very EXPONENTIAL lawless junction, where 666 will be received as normal and fully accepted globally by the remaining majority of the world's 7 billion inhabitants (2 Thess. 2:3-12, Rev. 11; 13)! Some of the signs of these last days will be the EXPONENTIAL abounding lawlessness of society, ethnic groups rising up against ethnic groups; demonically led anti-marriage movements along with other apostate teachings. As we see this ever-growing lawless moment sweeping across and being received by our nation and the world, especially here in the West; be not deceived, for Almighty God's Kingdom is at hand! We today can see the very abundance of shadows of the things which are about to be! This lawless spirit dominates the West's progressive Left, but what is most alarming is how it has swept into moderate and some conservative circles as well. When we see these groups begin to embrace such lawlessness how long will it truly be until we are face to face with the Day of the Lord (Rev. 6-19)! One of the signs of these last days will be the demonically led anti-marriage movement along with other apostate teachings. Liberalism - for the most part - rejects out right the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God. The root and source of this rejection - of these crucial moral laws and realities - is their subjective hatred towards the Creator of the heavens and earth (Romans 1:18-32). This base ideology is expressed and manifested in their disdain and hostility towards the American blue print drawn up by our Founding Fathers, which was based on the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God. Liberal /progressives reject these core moral absolutes and practice a sensual subjectivism that sees God-ordained absolutes through the prism of relativism and pluralism. They possess a fear of moral absolutes and believe that true freedom is to be free from any Divine instituted moral absolutes or laws that suppress their unbridled passions (Psalm 14:1-3, Isa 24:5, 2 Tim 3:1-7, Jude 1:10). They are lawless in all their deeds and hostile to any that impose a Divine reality or the adherence of moral absolutes (Rom. 1:28-32). They possess a fear of moral absolutes and believe that true freedom is to be free from any Divine instituted moral absolutes or laws that suppress their unbridled passions. The Lord Jesus stated that you shall know men by their fruits and by their actions (Matt. 7:16-20). It is simple enough to see that where ever the “virtues” of secular liberalism are promoted and exercised that poverty, disease, anarchy, crime, social chaos, the break down of the family unit, violence, and horrific social devastation are to be found. When one rejects and abandons the core moral building blocks for a healthy society for a godless delusion of lawlessness, expect to find social devastation and chaos (2 Tim. 3:1-7). What is most alarming is how the very people that impose their delusional solutions and remedies upon the American people seek also to fix these ills of society by applying the very same logic that got us to this social catastrophic point in the first place. By applying these lawless solutions, these excel the rate of today’s social ills at EXPONENTIALY! Today’s American social culture is at an extreme breaking point. The evidence is everywhere, yet the majority of American’s live in the apathetic delusion that all is well and that we will remain and prosper as times past.

A rare lurker's hoofs can be heard applauding loudly to your selection here, MornngStar. Bless you, beloved sister!
Interesting that the link is dated 6/2/20 while the comments dated back to 2012. We were watching back then. I remember. Miss y'all. Hope to see ya' soon!

Yeah, Mary, the Lord has been looking down probably with a little smile at this old sheep, (I've been many things here since January 2014), who was best known for my excited assertions about when the Rapture was going to be, yet remaining all these years 100% wrong. Sigh! (Ask MorningStar, Rieom, MaryLou...)
I don't make it back here all that often, but I do get a weekly email that announces new threads, and sometimes I click it to browse. But then a fine surprise this morning -- an email announcing you had actually responded to my post. So "Ta-Daa!" -- here's Dan back, darkening y'all's doorstep.
I really like MorningStar's article above. Tomorrow I'm leading a 20 minute long phone-in devotional teleconference for an assisted living chain, (called "MorningStar" by the way), and am thinking of making this article's topic a foundation for my theme. A major difficulty I have had recently is forgiving the brazen fascist "human" agents perpetrating this evil on society and the entire world. The Lord, though, brought to my attention a couple weeks ago -- which helped with my anger problem by the way -- to James 1:19-20, "So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God." I don't know if some of the residents are also feeling angry too, (I have not been allowed in to see any of these folks since the lock-down), for example through deprivation of seeing their friends and family. So I guess my theme will be that vengeance is truly the Lord's, and I believe it will be soon, swift, and final. And a corollary theme: forgiveness is an f-word that frees the forgiver more than those we forgive.
Anyway, I hope you have a wonderful day, Mary, (and everyone else reading this thread too). Top o' the mornin' to y'all!

It was good to read your post. I read MS's about lawlessness again more carefully. Your citing of James 1 hit home, helped my attitude. I've been praying a lot, have a good list, but found it hard when considering the rioters and looters. I hope your devotional telecom helped those who heard it. I am betting it did. You are so upbeat and funny. I've been in from March 7 entirely, until today, I was out about 1 hour to the little grocery store 4 miles away. Everyone was wearing masks, and they had everything I needed (but of course I forgot one item)! My nice neighbors had for awhile gotten Kroger deliveries weekly and let me add my own order to theirs. Then I did a couple of my own order/deliveries. Recently, I had a bit of company, gas line repair guy, then a refrigerator repairman and so enjoyed chatting with them through our masks. My sons have called long and often from far away, which means a great deal. Regarding the Rapture, I have begun to sense there is victory in just continuing to constantly expect His coming! It is like I am honoring His promise all of the time, what a feeling. I pray for grace to continue to this constant affirmation.
I am adding a wonderful Scripture about the hope:
Romans 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

Dan!! So good to hear from you. I see you've been busy with your Devotionals for assisted living individuals. What a blessing that is especially at a time like this.
I love what you said here:
So many of us have been feeling the same way....a good Scripture to hold on to.
There is also this scripture that explains why so many of us are feeling what we do with all that is going on presently.
P.S. Say Hi to "K" and hope all is well.

Thanks, Mary. Thanks MorningStar. I thought things used to be bad enough to be granted clearance of take-off. Today things are beyond bizarre!
I guess I'm hopeless because after all these years I still feel like, "Why can't we just go now, Lord? You know, like opening our presents a few days early before Christmas...? Not really, but doggone it... Sigh." I guess that's about the sighs of it.
Kolleen sends a hearty Hello, MorningStar, to all our friends there. She also says she can't wait to meet you and everybody else -- hopin' it's soon...
Love,
Your big bad wool.

Dan I agree. Don't know how much more we'll be seeing before the Lords Return, just never thought we'd be witnessing this level of violence as never before in our history. All I know is scripture does say it's just going to get worse and worse. Just waiting for the other shoe to drop (which could very well be the rapture) and it's going to be a real doozy. We think it's bad now, wait until the restrainer (Holy Spirit) is removed along with the Christians, then all hell will break loose. It's going to make this side of the rapture look like a picnic party compared to what the Tribulation judgments will bring.

So good to hear from you Dan! So glad you get to do your devotionals again. Most days are alike in assisted living/nursing homes. I know this because I spent time in one. Most people are bored and lonely. What you do is very important and I hope many are saved through your ministry.
We are getting a taste of what Noah and Lot lived through and so thankful to have their examples to encourage us.

Well thanks for the welcome, Rieom. So good to talk to you too. Besides the assisted living centers I had gone to for the last five years as a Bible reading / commentary / old hymn singing ministry since Linda died in 2015, a couple years ago I began as an online missionary for the Campus Crusades for Christ ministry called Global Media Outreach, (GMO). It provides a few hours of work for me each day via emails to seekers who respond to GMO ads scattered over the internet. GMO celebrated their 2 billionth Gospel presentation in May. It provides me an opportunity to minister to many hundreds of souls. Respondents to the ads indicate one of these decision: 1) I just prayed to receive Christ as my Savior for the first time, or 2) I have not prayed to receive Christ and want to investigate more, or 3) I have not prayed to receive Christ and would like a Gospel presentaion, or 4) I am a Christian wanting to grow in faith, or 5) I just recommitted my life to Christ. Each response also has a field for the inquirer to enter a question or comment. Maybe I told y'all about this in the past.
Anyway, I thank God for the opportunity to be a blessing to many through testifying, directing, encouraging, and responding to specific and even general prayer requests. The correspondence history management is amazing. This morning I responded to a woman who had not visited GodLife.com for seven years! She asked for prayer to have her employment contract renewed. It warms my heart to respond to all of these, except maybe for an occasional argumentative or denigrating muslim, and then it can become an interesting challenge to sharpen my reasons for hope - including gentleness and respect. I guess gentleness hasn't always resulted, but assertive respect has so far survived.
Anyway, with this asinine COVID fiasco my work helps keep my mind off of always grumbling about globalists and sheeple. Something constructive... Oh yeah, and when GMO slowed down a lot last year I started working within the Jews for Jesus chatroom system too. I suppose many would be shocked to learn that I'm actually a sheep. But note the conspicuous absence of a mask here to the left. That rebellion is quite deliberate, as most rebellions tend to be. Most sheep can't even think to rebel.
Love y'all!
