Christians who say they are "pan-tribulationalists" because everything will pan out in the end (ha, ha), do themselves and Scripture a huge disservice. To them, people like me seem like we actually want bad things to happen or are believed to be creating the very things we warn about. If only they would take the time to study Scripture.
The Bible is roughly 33% prophetic discourse. While a good portion of that percentage has already been fulfilled, quite a bit yet remains to be filled, but since some has been fulfilled, the rest will also be fulfilled. For instance, while much of Daniel has been fulfilled, there remains some that has not and Daniel 9 is a good example of that. It is still yet future even from our perspective right now.
If we ignore prophetic portions of Scripture we are essentially not taking all of God's Word seriously. Those who ignore prophetic portions of Scripture are essentially saying one of two things; either they don't believe people can make sense of it or it scares them too much to study it. In some cases, it can be both.
God doesn't want us confused by, or fearful of prophecy. He made it as plain as it can possibly be, but it requires us to study, to understand context and determine meaning based on what is actually meant by God regardless of how that truth makes us feel. In other words, we should read and understand God's Word in its most plain and ordinary sense as we do everything else.
Because we are thousands of years removed from the original writings and times, what was happening then and what the people and cultures were like is far different from today. Certainly, during Nimrod's time of Genesis 10-11, life was extremely different from the time prior to the Great Flood of Noah's day (Genesis 6-9). In Nimrod's day, everyone spoke the same language as just one example.
The times today are also far different from what has come before us because of advances in many areas including technology. If we don't recognize that, it will be more difficult to make sense of prophetic Scripture. Prophecy is there for our blessing as well as our knowledge.
It may simply appear that what is happening throughout the world today is something coming solely from evil men and women who are exorbitantly wealthy and tremendously powerful enabling them to exert influence over many nations, including the United States of America. If we believe that it's just simply a cohort of evil powerful people exercising their will to usher in the changes they want to see in society, we are then tempted to think that all we need is a powerful leader who can counteract and nullify what the ultra-rich, super-powerful people on earth are attempting to change and create. Of course, much of the world will follow Antichrist for these reasons.
If this is all that's is happening (people doing bad things), then there clearly is a chance to change things, isn't there? All it takes is a few good leaders people can get behind and through their leadership, regain the upper hand, thereby putting the globalist elite out of business (and in prison). However, it appears that the Bible has plenty to say otherwise about the end times. I've written and talked about it many times before and I'll continue to do so because it needs to be said often.
Everything being done today by rich and powerful elites is designed to destroy the current global system, which includes economies, social systems, cultures and everything associated with it, to be replaced with a completely different world order, defined in their "great reset." Their arrogance forces them to tell us their plans ahead of time. Leo Hohmann writes about this in his "Globalists have another shock event planned in pursuit of the ‘Four Ds’: Digitization, Dehumanization, Destruction and Depopulation" article (worth the read).[1]
Globalists clearly got their ideas from Satan himself because by and large, those who want to control the destiny of this planet and everyone on it are dedicated to the works of Satan, the guy they refer to as "Lucifer." To them, Lucifer...
