A New Era and a New Universal Agenda - By Daymond Duck - https://www.raptureready.com/2021/10/17/a-new-era-and-a-new-universal-agenda-by-daymond-duck/

On Sept. 23, 2015, Pope Francis discussed a global constitution, a world court, and world government at the White House.

 

Two days later, he went to the UN to discuss these same issues.

 

The UN started considering a document called “Transforming our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.” Supporters called it a “New Universal Agenda.”

 

“Universal” comes from the Preamble of the document itself.

 

In essence, the document calls for a one-world government, a one-world religion, and a one-world economic system.

 

Notice these 5 things from the Pope’s speech and the UN document: A world constitution, a world court, a world government, a world religion, and a world economic system.

 

The UN quickly voted on the document (“Transforming our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development).”

 

When the vote was announced, delegates from 193 nations stood and gave a thunderous ovation.

 

Here is some information from this writer’s notes about the UN Sustainable Development goals for 2030 (emphasis mine).

 

• The document preamble says, “ALL countries and stakeholders, acting in a collaborative partnership, WILL (not may—WILL) implement this plan.”
• By 2030, the UN WILL be transformed into a body that can REQUIRE all nations to obey.
• One government official said NOT A SINGLE HUMAN BEING will be allowed to escape this next great leap forward.
• We should expect the “Transformation of the World” to start impacting EVERY nation BEFORE 2030.
• One reporter said the world’s CHILDREN WILL NOW BE INDOCTRINATED with the idea that we are all “global citizens.”
• UN Sec. Gen. Ban Ki-moon called this transformation of the world the “START OF A NEW ERA.”
• Ban Ki-moon said the world is about to realize the “dream of a world peace and dignity for all” (will the UN declare peace and safety?).
• On Jan. 1, 2016, it was reported that the UN document for creating a world government, world religion, and world economic system by 2030 is now in effect, and everyone should expect ALL nations to make a strong push to bring it to pass.
• Notice these two very important points: (1) According to UN Sec. Gen. Ban Ki-moon, the world entered a NEW ERA on Jan. 1. 2016, and (2) There is a NEW UNIVERSAL AGENDA that every nation will implement before 2030.

This writer believes events show that America’s Deep State started implementing the “New Universal Agenda” in 2016 without a clear explanation to U.S. citizens and without U.S. citizens getting a chance to vote on it (They told us, but they didn’t explain what they were doing, and the public was not paying enough attention).

 

This explains the extreme global hatred for Trump and his Make America Great Again agenda.

 

This explains why the same things (mandated vaccinations, etc.) are happening all over the world simultaneously (because all the UN officials from 193 nations voted to implement them all over the world before 2030.).

 

This explains why the leftists are taking over America’s school system (to indoctrinate children with the UN agenda).

 

On Mar. 10, 2016, it was reported that the UN released a Master Plan called “Post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals.”

 

Every government, including the U.S., is now REQUIRED to promote the UN goals, and here is this writer’s understanding of some of the goals.

 

• End poverty. (This is about wealth distribution or giving the possessions of America’s middle class to the poor, especially in other countries. Everyone, except the very rich, will be poor and dependent upon the government. Illegal immigrants are now being given social security, free healthcare, free education, etc.)
• Make healthcare a human right (This is about government control of healthcare. Medical groups are being asked to fire employees that refuse to obey government Covid requirements, etc. Think about: Our government is saying we have a pandemic, so everyone must be vaccinated, but they are firing people that care for the sick and vaccinate them.)
• Control education to ensure gender equality, empower women, etc. (This is about seizing control of our school systems. The government is using teacher’s unions and school boards to promote LGBTQ rights, transgenders competing in women’s sports, etc. School groups have asked the FBI to treat citizens that disagree with this as domestic terrorists.)
• Government control of all production (lockdowns; bankrupting companies; not letting people unload cargo containers, etc.).
• A reduction in the consumption of goods and services. (Biden is destroying the U.S. supply-chain distribution system. U.S. citizens are beginning to see empty store shelves because the U.S. government is required to reduce consumption. There are 500,000 containers on ships off our west coast that can’t get unloaded. Reducing consumption is part of the effort to control global warming.)
• The consumption of less meat and frozen or convenience foods. (There is a proposal to combat global warming by fining ranchers that raise cattle. The cost of meat and milk has soared. Some want to force people to eat artificial meat. This is also part of the effort to control global warming.)
• The use of fewer and smaller vehicles and appliances. (Biden destroyed America’s energy independence. The price of fuel has soared, which may ultimately force people to buy smaller vehicles. Think global warming.)
• The use of less air-conditioning at home and at work. (The cost of utilities is rising, which may cause people to raise the temperature on their thermostat. Think global warming.)
• The use of smaller houses and apartments. (The price of lumber has soared, which will force people to build smaller houses. Think global warming.)
• The U.S. has been sold out by America’s Deep State, the U.S. military, big tech, big pharma, and most of the major media as the globalists try to meet the UN “Transforming our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” goals.

 

Unless God intervenes, the UN will very likely be transformed into a satanic world government by 2030 or sooner, and the U.S. will be REQUIRED to obey the head of that world government (the Antichrist).

 

But no matter what year the satanic world government begins (2030 or sooner), this writer believes the Rapture will precede the world government (perhaps by 3 years).

 

Recall that the Bible says we don’t know the day or the hour, but we can see it approaching and know when it is near.

 

The U.S. Senate recently considered a bill to raise the debt ceiling while they debate a bill to finance Biden’s $3.9 trillion stimulus package to further transform America.

 

Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema wouldn’t vote for it, but Mitch McConnell and several Republicans agreed to a temporary increase ($480 billion) that will last about 2 months and allow more time for negotiations.

 

Readers should understand that God will not be pleased with the global Deep State effort to establish a godless world government and religion with U.S. cooperation.

 

He will allow them to have what they are asking for, but His judgments will fall, and it will be worse than anyone can imagine.

 

There are many things to consider about what is happening, but here are 4 things readers might want to consider:

 

• The Church is running out of time to get the gospel to the lost.
• Christians are running out of time to repent of their sins, lay up treasure in heaven, etc.
• The lost (including lukewarm Church members) are running out of time to get saved and go in the Rapture.
• It would be wise to attend Church, read your Bible, do your very best to believe and obey the Scriptures, strengthen your relationship with other Christians, share Jesus with your family, friends and others, and pray for others and yourself.

 

Here are some recent stories that recently made the news.

 

One, on Oct. 8, 2021, it was reported that Biden’s Infrastructure Bill authorizes fines up to $700,000 per infraction on companies that do not meet Biden’s requirements for Covid testing and vaccination.

 

If this stays in Biden’s bill and it passes, it will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2022, and companies will be forced to submit to the government.

 

Society is seeing the kind of tactics the Antichrist will use in his effort to enslave everyone on earth during the Tribulation Period.

 

Two, on Oct. 7, 2021, it was reported that Biden’s proposed Reconciliation Bill authorizes payments to people in the U.S. that have a U.S. citizen child, and there is no work requirement to qualify.

 

Illegal immigrants with a U.S. citizen child will receive $5,100, legal immigrants with a U.S. citizen child will receive $4,800, and native-born U.S. citizens with a U.S. citizen child will receive $4,600.

 

Put another way, illegal immigrants will receive more than legal immigrants, and both will receive more than U.S. citizens.

 

Good is being called evil, and evil is being called good.

 

This is a forerunner of the government corruption that will exist in the coming world government.

 

Three, concerning corruption in government, and more specifically, election fraud in Wisconsin: on Oct. 7, 2021, it was reported that there are 5.8 million people in Wisconsin and 7 million people on the voter rolls.

 

The truth, justice and righteousness that once prevailed in America has been cast to the ground and stomped on.

 

Four, concerning the Mark of the Beast and the tracking of all buying and selling: in Sept. and Oct. 2021, there was a multitude of reports about an IRS proposal to track bank transactions of $600 or more, and Treasury Sec. Janet Yellen’s support for the same.

 

Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville said, “Virtually every American with a bank account would be impacted.”

 

It is too early to say how this will come out, but the Antichrist and False Prophet will track all buying and selling, tie it to the Mark of the Beast, and kill those that refuse the Mark during the Tribulation Period.

 

Now the Biden administration’s IRS wants to track all buying and selling of $600 or more; there are proposals to tie buying and selling to whether people are vaccinated or unvaccinated and to fire those that refuse to be vaccinated.

 

Tribulation Period events are approaching.

 

Five, concerning world government: it has been reported that Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot sent out an e-mail on Sept. 9, 2021, that said she will pick department heads and deputies that will be “pledging allegiance to the New World Order and good governance.”

 

Six, also concerning world government: on Oct. 8, 2021, 136 nations agreed to establish a 15% minimum global tax rate on big corporations and tighten loopholes to make it harder to avoid paying taxes.

 

Senate Republicans say 2/3 of the Senate will have to give their approval for the U.S. to participate.

 

Here is the bottom line: We are now in a new era, and there is a new universal agenda.

 

When Biden says everything is going according to plan, he means according to the UN Sustainable Development plan.

 

Finally, are you Rapture Ready?

 

If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.

Easter Sunday Devotional - April 12, 2020

What Did God Do On The Eighth Day?

What Did God Do On The Eighth Day? - A Bible Study by Jack Kelley - http://gracethrufaith.com/topical-studies/tough-questions-answered/what-did-god-do-on-the-eighth-day-2/ By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done. (Genesis 2:2-3) These two verses are much different from those describing the preceding days in the creation account. All of them included the phrase "it was evening and it was morning, day ... ". Not so for the seventh day. Also the Hebrew word translated rested is shabath (pronounced sha-BAT). We get sabbath from this word. It appears 71 times in the Bible, and 47 of those times it's translated "cease". It only means rest 11 times. Will This Day Ever End? Now obviously, the seventh day had a beginning and an end just like all the days before and after it. But the fact that there is no mention of this in the text of the creation account indicates that in a spiritual sense this day has never ended. There is no eighth day of creation. God has never taken up the work of creation again, and that's why a word that also means ceased was used in describing His Sabbath rest. Now don't accuse me of promoting the "Great Watchmaker" theory of creation. That's the one where God created the world and all that's in it, then set it in motion, and has been just sitting there watching it run ever since. Let's look at what God has been doing since He stopped creating. We'll begin in John's Gospel. So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews persecuted him. Jesus said to them, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working." For this reason the Jews tried all the harder to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God. Jesus gave them this answer: "I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. (John 5:16-19) This tells us that both the Father and the Son have so much to do that they work every day, even on the Sabbath.  So they haven't been just sitting around waiting. They've both been working every day from that day to this. But that's not the point.  The point is this.  Since the end of the 6th day, God has never again taken up the work of creation. Where the creation is concerned he has never ceased his Sabbath rest. What's External And Physical In The Old Becomes Internal And Spiritual In The New In Numbers 15:32-36 we read of a man who was caught gathering wood on the Sabbath. It was a violation of the commandment, but the Israelites didn't know what to do with him. When they inquired of God, He told them to take him outside the camp and stone him to death. God was serious about not working on the Sabbath. But when we get to the New Testament we find that the commandment to rest on the Sabbath is the only one of the 10 Commandments not specifically repeated. In fact the most frequent reference to the 4th commandment in the New Testament concerns the Lord's frequent and flagrant violations of it. On six different occasions, the Lord defended working on the Sabbath, each time showing the religious leaders of the day that their rules for keeping the Sabbath were man made, arbitrary, and counter to God's purpose. For example the priests in the Temple desecrated every Sabbath by working (Matt. 12:5), and the people could water their animals (Luke 13:15) or rescue them from danger (Matt. 12:11) but they couldn't heal a person (Luke 13:14). In Romans 14:5 Paul taught that we have the right to either consider one day holier than the others or to regard all days the same, based on our personal convictions. And in Colossians 1:16-17 he said not to let anyone judge us in regard to a religious festival or a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. He said that these things were only a shadow of things that were coming, that the reality was found in Christ. Somehow the Sabbath commandment was supposed to teach us something about our relationship with Jesus. So let's find out what it is. God created the Heavens and the Earth. They didn't do anything to help, He did it all. At the end of six days, He rested (ceased) from His work because it was finished. He never again took up the work of creating. He made the seventh day, a day without end, holy. There was no eighth day. Then He created a memorial. From that time forward the seventh day was a day of rest where no work was permitted to remind us that when His work was finished He ceased working. Since we're trapped in the dimension of time, we can't have any days without end. So when God set up our calendar He made every seventh day holy, and then the calendar began again. There's never an eighth day. This was to help us to see that the seventh day, the day of rest, never ends. To underscore the importance of this, He made working on the seventh day punishable by death. But man missed the point. We thought it was about working on the Sabbath when it was really about resting when the work is finished, and that's how all this relates to Jesus. Jesus came to Earth with one job to do. It was to die for the sins of the people so we could be redeemed and live forever with Him (John 1:29). He was making us into a new creation (2 Cor. 5:17).  We didn't do anything to help, He did it all. When He died on the cross, His work was done. That's why His last words before He died were, "It is finished." Then He bowed His head and gave up His Spirit (John 19:30). He never had to take up the work of redemption again, for by that once-for-all-time sacrifice He has made perfect forever those who are being made holy (Hebr. 10:12-14). When He ascended into Heaven, He sat down at the right hand of the Father.  The redemptive work of our new creation was finished, so He ceased working.  This is why some theologians refer to the Lord's work of redemption as His "completed" work on the cross. What Is Our Work? Then they asked him, "What must we do to do the works God requires?" Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent." (John 6:28-29) Jesus forgave all of your sins at the cross (Col 2:13-15) and therefore He saved you completely.  Hebr. 7:25 confirms that He is able to do this.  According to 2 Cor. 1:21-22 God has accepted responsibility for keeping you saved.  He has set His seal of ownership on you and put His spirit in your heart to guarantee this.   Believing that means your work of salvation is finished and you have entered into your life-long seventh day, your Sabbath rest.  It means you've done what God requires and the work of your salvation is finished. You will inherit eternal life. "For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day." (John 6:40) Just as God never again took up the work of creation, and Jesus never again took up the work of redemption, you need never again take up the work of salvation. You're a new creation and the work is finished. Now you rest, as they rested. There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his. (Hebrews 4:9-10) As we can see from the above, the folks who keep asking whether Saturday or Sunday is the correct Sabbath for Christians to keep are asking the wrong question. The real question we should all be asking is whether we are keeping our Sabbath rest or not. It doesn't matter that you say you're born again. If you are still working to earn or keep your salvation after saying that you've accepted the work Jesus did for you, then you are violating the commandment to keep the Sabbath and are subject to the penalty of the Sabbath breaker in Numbers 15.  His was a physical death, but yours will be a spiritual one, because you aren't doing the one and only work He gave you to do; you aren't believing in the One He has sent.  Instead, you're believing in your own ability to finish the work you think He only began.  And that means you aren't saved. There isn't much time left for the Church. The Lord could come while you're reading this. Please consider these things carefully. Make sure you're really saved by grace through faith. Not by works, lest anyone boast. (Ephes. 2:8-9)   Remember, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness (Romans 4:5).  Believe in the One God sent to save you, enter your sabbath rest, and don't ever take up the work of your salvation again.

Noah and Antichrist's Hypnotists: Part 3

Noah and Antichrist's Hypnotists: Part 3

By Terry James

Noah, the movie, is, I believe, an instrumentality meant to put into the psyche (or, if you prefer, the darkest regions of the reasoning process) of mankind the fiction the serpent wants to create. God's Word is the lie; Lucifer is truth--that is the intentioned brain-washing end goal.

Specifically, the use of the Genesis 6 account, in a perverted way, puts forth in this film that the "watchers" are the angels kicked out of Heaven and confined to earth as stone-like creatures. They intermingle with humankind, but, ultimately, do good instead of evil, repent, and are redeemed and allowed back into Heaven. It is interesting that rather than deny that there was war in Heaven and the fallen angels were kicked out, the Hollywood story-tellers twisted it in this way.

The bad, supernatural guys become the good, supernatural guys, and do their work now for the Lord, as before their "fall." It is plainly part of fulfilling the prophecy that near the end of human history the fable-makers will call good evil and evil good. This sets up in the minds of the moviegoers who are without a clue of Bible truth that these same "watchers" possibly interact with mankind today and have good intentions to help humanity muddle through this dangerous world.

There are many, many things to which I could point that are part of the end-times stage being set for the wind-up of the age. Like, for example, the way God becomes withdrawn in the movie, becoming the existential deity agnostic philosophers have long claimed God to be. I could point to the egregious treatment of both the Lord and Noah as being vindictive, heartless, and even murderous-for example, when Noah is portrayed as wanting to murder his daughter-in-law. We could dwell to an endless extent on the hellish lie-proposition put forward by the movie that God destroyed all upon the earth because mankind had been environmentally evil-that He wanted to restart the earth only so the animal life could return to an environmentally safe and pristine state.

However, I believe the most important matter for this essay is to point out that the way Hollywood treats the fallen angels in this film is crucial to earth's prophetic future. The UFO phenomenon plays strongly into my thoughts. Also, the New Age intrusion into these strange times is critical to observe for the Christian. I am convinced that the very deception Jesus prophesied is upon this generation. Noah, the movie, under the guise of "innocent" entertainment, is part of the mesmerizing, hypnotic process that will make people following the Rapture susceptible to the "lie" during that post-Rapture time.

God's prophetic Word tells of that time in the following scriptural passages. Antichrist is mentioned first: "And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders. And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved." (2 Thess. 2:8-10).

Next, the prophecy speaks to the lie that will deceive the post-Rapture world of earth-dwellers: "And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness" (2 Thess. 2:11-12).

Panic and mayhem will explode when millions vanish in a blink of an eye. There will be an outcry for explanations of what happened. This is where the inculcation Satan has been foisting on the world will pay off for the serpent.

We have all seen the documentaries and movies on UFOs, the "space brothers," and other such claims by those looking for some explanation of how life got here. Alien seeding of planet earth is preferable to the biblical creation account to the fallen minds of mankind. Evolution, to the willfully ignorant, is more believable -that all we see around us just happened to happen, totally by chance.

However, evolution is falling out of favor with the modern, "rational" mindset. The "space brothers" will fit much more nicely into the 2 Thessalonians, post-Rapture time. We see what might take place following the disappearance of millions of Christians, when the second beast-the false prophet-performs a seemingly supernatural feat before the eyes of the left behind world:

"And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live." (Rev. 13:13-14).

I'm of the thought that the "fire" called down might be the "space brothers" the entertainment industry has been inculcating moviegoers with for decades. These might be the same "ascended masters" the New Age gurus have been promising for those same decades. Noah, the movie, is, in my opinion, part of the end- times hypnotism taking place in preparation for Antichrist's arrival. It will be the time, I believe, as given in the following:

"And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him" (Rev. 12:7-9).

It is all preparation for the horror of the Tribulation that is rushing toward this fallen world: "Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time" (Rev. 12:12b).

With the ever-increasing effort by Satan to hypnotize the masses with all of the aforementioned, it is a comforting -and legitimate—thing to say that Jesus' words should ring more urgently than ever in the true Christian's spiritual ears.

"And when you see all these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your head, for your redemption draweth nigh" (Luke 21:28).

Nearing Midnight: Noah and Antichrist’s Hypnotists-Part 2

Nearing Midnight: Noah and Antichrist’s Hypnotists-Part 2 – Terry James –http://www.raptureready.com/rap16.html

There is no more appropriate time that God’s prophetic warning through the apostle Paul applies than at this very moment in human history: “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables” (2 Tim. 4:3-4).

This generation is in a time of deep, dark, deception. Jesus Himself, before giving the many signs of His Second Coming, forewarned of one specific danger in answer to His disciples’ question about when He would come again to earth. The Lord gave answers while they sat atop the Mount of Olives looking down on the Temple and Mount Moriah: “And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many” (Matt. 24:4).

The very end of the age will be a time of great deception, Jesus emphasized. His Holy Name will even be at the center of the deception, He warned. The believer -the born again-was to avoid being deceived, He instructed.

We are examining the latest Hollywood entertainment offering of a supposedly biblical nature. Noah, film-maker Darren Aronofsky’s high-dollar film, surpassed by far what the movie money gurus expected, grossing over $44 million out of the starting blocks. They had expected perhaps $30 million would come into their coffers from theatergoers.

Many Christian pundits predicted the movie would fall flat because of the total disregard the producers of the film showed for fidelity to truth of God’s Word in its account of Noah and the Flood. That was the hope of many within evangelical Christianity, once the content of the story presented was exposed to the viewing public.

Noah, although by all accounts a technically brilliant film, and one with superb acting–with Russell Crow, a Hollywood heavyweight, as Noah–was an almost complete fabrication-fiction from the get-go. There was little similarity between the story line of the movie and the biblical account.

Was this innocent misunderstanding in a Hollywood attempt to provide entertainment -or something other? This is what I would like us to consider. Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi master-propagandist in Hitler’s regime of genocide, had the understanding and technique down pat. You could persuade, could mesmerize an entire nation’s public through on-screen inculcation. All we have to do to know this is true is to watch the black-and- white films shot of the hypnotic looks on the faces of the German people while they watched Goebbels’ films and listened to the Fuehrer’s rants at the massively-attended Nazi rallies.

Hollywood’s capabilities are technologically improved a thousand times over. The special effects, blended superbly with the stories presented, rather than overtly hypnotize the viewers, subliminally infuse into their psyches the worldviews those who control Hollywood worldly thinking desire to infuse.

Lucifer -Satan-is the father of lies, the Scripture tells us. Fiction, although not overt lies in the dictionary sense, nonetheless, are lies in the ultimate, literal sense. That is, fiction is not truth, although it might purport to portray truth. It has been termed the “willing suspension of disbelief”–i.e., the willing are willfully accepting of the lie.

This is what happened to the first two humans, isn’t it, according to the Bible?-If, of course, you believe the Bible. The serpent, remember, created a “suspension of disbelief” moment. He presented a half-truth fiction: “Ye shall not surely die.”

The serpent is still up to creating fiction based on lies meant to do their deadly work on the human mind and soul. He is the father of such… In the movie, Noah, the suspension of disbelief is rampant. According to the reviews I’ve read -both from secular sources like Rolling Stone and the New York Times, and religious forums- the story from beginning to end is filled with scenes contrary to God’s account. The moviegoer is to put aside his or her preconditioned notions that what the film presents is false theology and history. They are to believe -without thinking too deeply about it–that the story of Noah and the Flood really could have happened as the Hollywood version has it. Regardless, what’s the harm? After all, it’s just a movie -good, Hollywood-quality entertainment…

Especially in the Western world, there is a concerted campaign to dumb down people in every sense. The principalities and powers of Ephesians 6:11-18 and the flesh-and-blood powers-the would-be, one-world order builders-are using every method available to hypnotize, in Joseph Goebbels fashion-the masses. They are determined to bring all back to Babel.

We will examine just how far along we might be in that process in next week’s commentary-Lord willing.
