“The Return of the King” is the title of the third in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. It hints at the only thing that will defeat the globalists and drive them back under the rocks from whence they came, a whole-hearted repentance and return to the God of the Bible. 2 Chronicles 7:14 lays it all out.
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
The video “Let the Sea Resound”[1] chronicles such a return. It happened on the Island of Fiji. Life was hard. The people were starving as the fish stocks were depleted. They lived in fear as crime was rampant. The rivers were so polluted, walking on them was no miracle. Then the religious leaders all got together and fell down before God and repented. God responded by sending a great revival, and then miracles began to happen: the peoples’ hearts were changed; crime was down; the fish stocks reappeared; the rivers cleared and carried fish. God truly healed their land. This can happen to any land that truly repents.
A Spirit filled church can have a profound effect. The fastest growing church in South America is the Pentecostal church. Women noticed that when their husbands started going to the Pentecostal church, they would spend more time at home and less time at the taverns--evidence of changed lives.
This also happened during the Welsh revival when many pubs closed. They did not close due to any edict. They closed because people did not go and their business dried up.
Alexis de Tocqueville said it was religion that gave America her strength, but he was misguided in his appraisal. Religion is not the answer, Christ is the answer. Our world is plagued right now because people are succumbing to the lie that Satan whispered in the Garden. That they do not need God, that they can make the rules and they can make their own way to heaven.
This is the lie that led the people of Babel to build the Tower, that they could build the Tower and invade heaven. This is the same lie that beguiled Adam and Eve, that they did not need God, that they can make their own rules, that they are the measure of all things, the arbiters of right and wrong.
This is the lie that powers many of today’s religions, that if I am good enough, if my good deeds outweigh my bad deeds then I can earn a place in heaven. This puts the focus of people on themselves and their work, and not on God. A follower of Christ does “works” because of who he is. A religious person does works because of who he wants to become, and he can never become that person, because perfection is always beyond our grasp.
God doesn’t want people who are focused on themselves. He wants people who are focused on Him and His Son, Jesus. A true Christian’s life is focused solely on Jesus. The body of Christ is held together by the unity of the Spirit, not people doing their own “thing”. As a born-again believer matures, he is to reflect more and more the risen saviour. John the Baptist said it best:
He must increase, but I must decrease. John 3:30.
An analogy is contained in our own bodies. It comprises billions of cells all working in harmony to accomplish various tasks. If I am sitting and I want to move from here to there, my brain sends impulses which are relayed over the nervous system to the various muscles that need to respond. All respond accordingly, I get up, my legs move and I go from here to there. The body of Christ is the same, all parts doing their individual tasks, but working in unison to accomplish a singular outcome. God does not tolerate rebels, and conditions like Parkinson’s show what happens when the system breaks down. God is not building His Kingdom with such.
The title also hints that Jesus may be returning soon. There has always been speculation that His return is imminent. Books like “88 Reasons Why Jesus Will Return in 1988”[2] typify this type of thinking. The crusades during the high Middle Ages were fueled in part by the fact that it was the millennium, 1000 AD.
Modern prophecy speculation started with the founding of the modern state of Israel, a prophetic sign. Many prophecy books and teachers showed up in the 1970s. Prophecy teachers cite wars, earthquakes, freaky weather as pointers that Christ will return soon. But there is something different this time--genetic engineering.
I disagree with Dispensationalism--early rapture, millennial reign. Through the years, it has been a useful evangelistic tool. Do you want to be “left behind”? That notwithstanding, it is time to get a true view of the end times as I believe the time is short. How can I say that? Jesus gave us a clue when He said "as in the days of Noah". In those days, sin abounded, but there was something else going on. Genesis 6:1-4 says that the “Sons of God” took the “daughters of men” as wives, giving birth to “men of renown”, the Nephilim. It does not state explicitly, but hints that Adam’s blood-line had been tainted and God needed to wipe out everything and start afresh with Noah of whom the Bible says
These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. Genesis 6:9
Noah was “perfect in his generations”. It does not say that Noah was perfect, as we know later that he sinned, but he was perfect in his generations, that is, his blood-line was untainted[3]. God brought the flood to wipe out the tainted blood-line and was beginning again with Noah and his family.
And now an inflection point has been reached with the COVID-19 outbreak. In its wake we saw the introduction of mRNA gene-manipulation therapy and nano-tech therapy. With new vaccines and GMO bug delivery systems, we stand on the verge of the human race being tainted once again. The time is ripe for Jesus’s return. If that is the case, then we need a proper understanding of the end-times. What are they all about? I believe that they are about the final harvest, a task that will face violent opposition, by Satan himself. He is currently residing in the abyss, put there at the cross (Rev 20), and soon to be released (Rev 9). The church needs to be ready for what follows.
When Satan is released from the abyss, we will see a return of occultic magic not been seen for over 2000 years, and as depicted in the Old Testament. This includes: Jannes and Jambres turning their rods into serpents to match Moses, the 400 prophets of Baal attempting to call down fire from heaven to answer Elijah, widespread demonic possession during Jesus’ time on earth. The church needs to be ready. It’s time to get past the doctrine of the early rapture posited by Dispensationalism.
Dispensationalism has problems. It is credited to the Englishman John Nelson Darby (1800-1882), and later codified by the American Cyrus Ingerson Scofield (1843-1921). It was spread throughout America by the Scofield Bible, a reference Bible combining the King James Bible with dispensational study notes. However, dispensationalism’s roots go back to three Jesuit priests charged by the Council of Trent to counter the growing Reformation Protestant theological teaching casting the Pope as the Anti-Christ and the Roman Catholic Church as the # of Babylon[4].
We, as the church, need to get past the idea that we will be gone during the Tribulation. We will be here to fulfill our purpose, bringing in the final end-time harvest. And we, as the church, need to be ready for whatever Satan will throw at us. He has been chained for 2000 years; he knows his time will be extremely short and he will be angry, and he will do everything he can to destroy the harvest.
It is time for the church to repent of our complacency and to get to the task at hand--bringing in the harvest.
