End Time Beast Government Rapidly Moving Into Place
Thursday, March 22, 2012
America's dedication to freedom and human rights combined with its development as a world economic and military power long has been a reason why dictators wanting to take over the world could not arise and maintain power. One such test was that of Adolf Hitler. Another is the rise of the Soviet Union and its struggle for world rule that was finally put down after Ronald Reagan's policies ended a dark period in history where communism was responsible for killing over 100 million people. There always have been progressives who wanted to globalize America, but personal liberty prevailed. Until now, when apathy is allowing erosion of freedom and the rise of the end times "Beast" government.
The Apostle John in Revelation 13 speaks of a beast that comes out of the sea. This means that it is a political system that comes from the sea of people. It is a worldwide government headed by the antichrist. Verses 5-7 say, "And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations."
While God is sovereign and He will do as He will, a careful analysis of world events points toward the time when this "Beast" is rapidly coming into focus. America long has made up the hedge against a tyrannical world system. However, in the past several years, America has changed her focus from being a beacon of freedom to a nation-builder spreading "democracy." At the same time, Americans have elected leaders who have become a ruling class and have joined the globalist movement. From trade with other countries to assisting them in all aspects of life through our foreign aid to deciding what kind of governments and leaders are right for various peoples, America is immersed in the global order.
We have seen that the government, whenever it sees fit, can take control of private property and the very food and water sources every citizen needs for survival. Additionally, lawmakers of both parties have voted to incarcerate up to ten years citizens that attempt to redress the government for grievances through public protest. The erosion of Constitutional rights is now coming so fast and furious that Americans can hardly keep up with them, let alone fight them. This accelerates the formation of the end time "Beast" government. As Paul writes in Romans 12:21, "Be not overcome of evil, but conquer evil with good." And Peter said in Acts 5:29, "We ought to obey God rather than men." We need to stand and speak boldly.
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!
