What We Have Become

I want to talk about Charlie Kirk's assassination; not the man himself, as he is well known as a Christian and a Conservative that has done much good work from a deep conviction and dedication to God.  No, I want to talk about the person, or people, that killed him and the ones who celebrated this tragic event.

Occasionally God sends a man that is to preach or teach to the masses; his calling will be to witness about Christ and to point out sin.  Such a man was Charlie Kirk; a man who did not condemn people, but condemned actions while hoping those people would come to know Jesus Christ as their savior.  A man who cared enough to take all the abuse to try to help people, especially young people, and keep going, always showing the love of God in his life.

In 2 Thessalonians 2:8 the Apostle Paul refers to the antichrist, and both the ESV and the NIV translate this as the lawless one.  John told us that the spirit of the antichrist was already in the world (1 John 4:3) and that all who do not confess Jesus Christ as Lord are of that spirit.

Charlie Kirk was sent as the last messenger to many people.  Those who wished him dead, those that killed him, and those that celebrated his death, have had their last chance.  There may be a few confused souls that the Holy Spirit will call to, but most of these are reprobate humans, their consciences so seared that God no longer calls them to himself.

Romans 1:18 tells us that God's wrath will fall on those who suppress His truth or hold it as evil sayings.  Charlie Kirk's message came from God, and the multitudes who suppressed that truth and held it as evil will feel the wrath of God fall on them.  Verses 29 & 30 of Romans 1 tell us that murderers, haters of God, and inventors of evil have lost their chances with God.  People hated Kirk for speaking the truth that we all knew and understood a few years ago:  a boy who thinks he is a girl does not need to be turned into a girl; he needs guidance to help him come to terms with being a boy.  The problem is not that he is the wrong biological sex, but that he thinks he is the wrong sex.  He needs to change his thinking, not his body.  In every other instance the progressive left tells people to love themselves the way they are, but for this issue they say change yourself.  This is the delusions of Satan, that men can become women and women can become men.

Charlie Kirk did not condemn these people but wanted to show people the way of God's Word and to get them the help they truly need.  Those who shot him have sealed their fate; I believe that only the wrath and judgement of God await them.  They hate God, they murder His witnesses, and they will pay a heavy price when they stand before Him

Science and the Scripture #1: Fearful Sights and Great Signs in the Heavens

 Four interesting things were presented in the news in the last few weeks.  First, the discovery of a comet type body that is from outside our solar system is fast approaching.  There is some speculation as to what it could be, as we have never seen a cometary body that emits light in front of it.  Cometary bodies heat up as they pass closer to the sun, causing melt and ice crystals to form a tail that catches the light.  This body is either emitting light or is so smooth and shiny that it is reflecting light while still a great distance from the sun.

The second item is that a large, dark planetary body, possibly as large as Jupiter, is going to pass through our solar system.  Depending on where it passes, there will be various effects from it.  The gravity from a body that size could change wave patterns here even if it passes well outside the orbit of the moon.  It could literally pull the moon out of its orbit if it came close enough.  To do that would probably destroy a large part of our satellite capabilities.

Scientists using the James Webb telescope found the third anomaly which is a huge lighted area at, or just past, the edge of our universe.  This area is putting out an amazing, unmeasurable amount of light.

And fourth, experiments continuing with the large hadron collider are showing that other dimensions may well exist, and that our gravity, for one type of energy, may be leaking over into this other dimension.

In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus says this:

And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.  10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:  11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

Jesus tells us here that there will be "fearful sights and great signs" in heaven.  All the things that we are currently discovering seem to point to this being the beginning of the end times.
