My last article spoke about rising above the white noise. Today we will talk about rising above the darkness to see the beautiful light, the light of God’s glory. Today we will look at the big picture together, which will shock most believers and arouse the darkness among the rest bringing forth an unimaginable response that’s horrifically uncontrollable. I will admit that it’s rather difficult to write this article because God is showing me the depth of humanity’s captivity to the powers of darkness. It is rather unsettling, to say the least. The most unsettling part is that the entire population is completely blind to this reality. Although some believers see the depth of our captivity individually, they don’t recognize that the entire world is in blinding bondage to the powers of darkness. We will attempt to expose the extent of this blinding bondage. Before we do, however, let me stress that all of the prophecies concerning the end times in the Bible are still relevant and very applicable. Satan has done a good job of hiding these truths by introducing multiple contradictory interpretations. There are so many different opinions among God’s End Time prophecies where most have chosen their favorite opinion or ignored them altogether.

Therefore, what we expose and discuss today will in no way change or diminish God’s amazing End Times prophecies. Hopefully what it will do is open your eyes to how Satan has blinded all of humanity to the depths of their incarcerating bondage. How long this has been going on is hard to say, but it appears to have made its greatest advancement since the introduction of technology and the social media platforms. In darkness, people can no longer see the light. Although the light has been shining since the beginning, those walking in darkness cannot see it until they have been set free. Satan knows this all too well. Knowing this, Satan has orchestrated everything in the world to keep you in the darkness and very busy with no time to hear the still small voice of God. Satan does not care what religion you follow, what philosophies you follow, or what opinions you express. Satan does not care what your political affiliation is, which type of government you espouse, or what protest group you follow. He just wants you to fit in and follow the crowd. He wants you completely immersed in the darkness. He wants you to be led around by the nose with no knowledge of your bondage.

Satan just wants you to be a part of his world growing deeper into bondage every day covered in darkness. For this to happen, Satan must keep you busy every moment of every day. This is the key to your bondage. I can remember when computers and cell phones first came out with the spectacular promise to save you time in an increasingly busy world. That was just another lie of Satan because they did not save you time but added more avenues to different areas that consumed even more of your time. The computer and cell phones made social media, news media, and entertainment much more accessible. Technology is stepping up to the plate getting ready to attach these technologies right to your body making everything instantly available. All of these technologies are designed to keep you busy and in captivity to the powers of darkness. Everyone will admit how seductive all of these media platforms are from short video clips (or reals) to breaking news headlines, and to the latest podcast or YouTube video. It’s all seductive, time-consuming, and designed to keep you in perpetual darkness. Simply put, Satan doesn’t care what you choose to follow as long as you choose something in the world to keep you busy every moment of every day. The whole world is in darkness contrary to what or who you choose to follow. The depth of this darkness will grow more pronounced every day leading everyone in the world to worship the Beast and to take his mark (Revelation 13).

However, we still have an opportunity to escape our bondage to the powers of darkness, but the window is quickly closing.  It will be difficult to come out from the world of darkness but not impossible. It will be difficult to stop following the world in their political movements especially when they appear to be fighting against evil. It will be difficult to stop following social media especially if you feel bored and enjoy the little moments of entertainment. It will be difficult to stop following the news headlines, especially if you believe they will give us warnings concerning the things to come. It will be difficult to come out from all the entertainment even when you sense all the lies, propaganda, and negativity about the Holy Scripture. It’s difficult when many have been trained from the crib on how to depend on the new technologies to give them everything they think they need. It’s difficult when everyone else is doing it. There are many other things in this dark world run by the powers of darkness that we need to come out from, but they all seem more difficult with the passing of every day as we sink deeper into the darkness of oblivion.

We must rise above the darkness so that we can see the light, the light of God’s glory. As long as we are in the darkness of our captivity we will never see the light. As long as we are in the darkness we will believe the propaganda from the powers of darkness that things will get better, that we will enter into a golden age of peace and prosperity, and that we will overcome evil by becoming the party of righteousness. This is propaganda at its best because we are still in the darkness and the chains of bondage. On the other hand, when we truly come out from among the world and embrace the light, then we see the consequences of mankind’s sins as the trumpets of God’s wrath sound. I have written extensively about the trumpets sounding God’s partial wrath upon humanity and the final bowls of God’s wrath already being poured out. I have written extensively about the three woes from the silent pandemic of mental illness to the invasion of the Muslim hordes, and to His final woe that will see Armageddon and the destruction of modern-day Babylon by fire. Only being in the light of God’s glory will see the total destruction of the world by fire contrary to what Satan and his powers of darkness say (II Peter 3:10; Revelation 18:8-24).

Dear children, it is time to listen to the Angels of heaven from the Book of Revelation that says, “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities” (Revelation 18:4-5). As I said it will be difficult to turn off social media, news media, and all forms of entertainment from the world of darkness, but not impossible. You will have a great deal of time! Use this time to walk only in the light giving God all the glory. Use this time to speak the Gospel presentation (see below), preach the Gospel, and sing the Gospel free of charge. Use this time to draw closer to your Savior allowing the Spirit to teach you how to be transformed in Christ. Use this time to fellowship and discipleship like-minded believers in Christ. Use this time to hide more of God’s Word in your heart. Use this time to pray and meditate listening to the still small voice of God. When you do, then you will see the big picture that will shock the world. You will see a world totally controlled by Satan and his powers of darkness. Come out from among them, dear children, and enter into the light of God’s glory. Amen

The Gospel Presentation

We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, which explains the many difficulties that you are currently facing in your life. Well, I have good news, God has solved that problem by sending His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, who was born of a virgin to show us the way to a beautiful new life in Christ. God has dealt with all of our sins past, present, and future by having His son pay the debt for our sins. Jesus Christ willingly went to the Cross in our stead by allowing all of the world’s sins to be placed upon Him as a sacrificial Lamb. As Christ hung on the Cross, the wrath of God was poured out on Him to pay the penalty for our sins. Jesus Christ died on the Cross and was buried for three days. On the third day, Christ arose from death to life everlasting. The good news is if we believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, then we will be forgiven for all of our sins and receive the Holy Spirit. The Spirit will lead us into all truth helping us in the transformation process of putting off the old life, allowing the old sin nature to die with Christ, and then putting on our new life in Christ by being raised with Christ to everlasting life. You can accept Christ today by confessing your sins to Him through a simple prayer asking Him to forgive you and make you into a new creation filled with the Holy Spirit. If you have done that, then you have just begun the greatest journey of your life that leads to heaven and eternal life. Welcome to the Kingdom.
