Equipping the Saints for Tribulation #01



The Christian is asked to follow in the footsteps of Christ, who endured great tribulation. All tribulation then must stand in the light of Christ Jesus who was ‘despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. Smitten by God, and afflicted’ (Isaiah 53).

However, this important aspect of Christian doctrine is sorely missing in our churches today. The absence of this theology of suffering is to the detriment of the believer living in the end times. Without it they are left unarmed and powerless to stand in the face of tribulation.

For many, all suffering must be avoided at all costs and prayed away. Many churches today are responsible for creating a sugar coated gospel. But this version of the gospel bears little relation to what the Bible, Jesus and the early church taught. The Bible teaches that a true Christian will not only enjoy the power of Christ’s resurrection; they will also have to embrace a fellowship with his sufferings.

(From Chapter 16, Tribulation Rising, Trumpet Blast Warning)

Over the years I've been asked many times; "Are you preparing for the kinds of emergency situations you refer to in your books Trumpet Blast Warning and Beyond Earthly Realms?" For example in Trumpet Blast Warning I write: The West is about to be shaken as never before... The current financial crisis is only the beginning. Out of the ashes of the economic ruins a new global financial system will rise...Cash will be consigned to history and the only means to buy and sell will be through a digitised system...  Martial law - the imposition of military rule to maintain order - will be instituted. The burgeoning surveillance grid will facilitate the military takeover... The people, desperate for food, will do anything in order to survive.    Read more > In Beyond Earthly Realms I write:  A societal collapse is coming; the warning signs are all around us. This will be triggered by a combination of key factors, such as the continued abandonment of godly mora

The Greater Enemy - A Vital Warning Message to the Church

Image
April 15th, 2020, Jason Carter The invisible enemy continues to wreak havoc across our world. But a far greater peril looms visible in plain sight. An existential threat to all humanity rises. But the locked-down masses sleepwalk oblivious. They binge-watch Netflix, with phone, death-gripped in hand, vacantly surfing their virtual existence. Others sit engaged, long i nto the night, squinty-eyed, in Xbox fantasy conflicts. If only they would stand up to fight the real battle poised to snatch them away. Like addicts, the masses inject mainstream disinformation, a fix that lasts only a moment before the need to return for more. Promulgators of fear and deceit are the once trusted broadcasters, demoralising the populace into a defeatist and cowering mindset. The dumbed down ones believe that once the curfew is lifted, life will return to normal. Only few understand it will never be the same. Of course a veneer of normality will be viewed by those who wilfully choose to c

Ein Klima der Angst schaffen

Kapitel 4 Ein Klima der Angst schaffen Lass niemals eine ernsthafte Krise unbeachtet. Was ich damit meine: Es ist eine Gelegenheit, Dinge zu tun, die du zuvor für undenkbar hieltest Rahm Emanuel, ehemaliger Stabschef von Barack Obama Wir stehen an der Schwelle einer globalen Transformation. Alles was wir hierzu brauchen, ist eine richtige Krise, und die Nationen werden die Weltregierung akzeptieren David Rockefeller Am Ende des letzten Kapitels haben wir uns angesehen, wie die Regierungen ein Klima der Angst schaffen, um eine Atmosphäre der Folgebereitschaft gegenüber Veränderungen zu erschaffen, die normalerweise innerhalb der Gesellschaft nicht akzeptiert werden. Wie wird diese Angst nun erzeugt? Durch welche Mechanismen verursacht eine Regierung so eine Art von Panik, in der Menschen darauf vorbereitet sind, den Boden, auf dem sie ihre Bürgerrechte genießen, abzutreten? Die Antwort lautet, durch eine Krise. Die vorsätzliche Orchestrierung einer schrecke
