For decades, Israel has been the Palestinians’ worst nightmare, and no one cares about their feelings except Israelis. The puppet masters who don’t care about 100 thousand dead people for their profits are pushing the world into more and larger conflicts. This ongoing shi* show on this planet is so annoying, spiraling higher and higher until they get their WW3, wiping the World’s financial hard drive clean for a fresh start on the slavery wheel.
So, how should Christians behave during these unprecedented times? And, I would also like to push this message through to those who do not believe in Christ, or see Christianity as another flawed religion, out of love and respect for everyone. This is Christ’s message:
God we pray for peace.
What does the Bible say about the conflict in Israel? Jesus said in Matthew 24, “You will hear of wars and rumours of wars, but don’t panic. Yes, these things must take place, but the end won’t follow immediately. Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in many parts of the world. But all this is only the first of the birth pains, with more to come. Then you will be arrested, persecuted, and killed. You will be hated all over the world because you are my followers. And many will turn away from me and betray and hate each other. And many false prophets will appear and will deceive many people. Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.” (Matthew 24:6-13)
The first thing that strikes me about this passage is the command “don’t panic.” Our job as Christians is to resist the fear-based spirit that pervades the rest of the world.“God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.” (2 Tim. 1:7) The second thing I notice in this passage is Jesus telling us that when we hear of “wars and rumors of wars,” “the end will not come quickly.” We may be living in the end times, but according to Jesus, this is not the end of the end. The third thing I notice in this passage is Jesus’ harsh warning against false prophets. When there is fear and turmoil, it is easy to cling to words that make us feel good, but they may not always be what the Bible says. Beware of false teachers and stay rooted in God’s word. This is not the time to listen to popular opinion. This is the time to rely on God’s word.
So what’s our assignment as Christians?
Jesus says in Luke 19:13, “Occupy until I come.” The end times are not the time to curl up on your rapture rug and wait for Jesus to return. In the end times, a glorious church will rise to rule and reign alongside Christ as “kings and priests unto our God.” (Rev. 1:6) Now is the time to assert our royal authority over the darkness, to push it back, to fight for souls, and to wage war with our prayers and spiritual weapons. Jesus will not return for a frail bride. Jesus is returning for a warrior bride. Now is the time to assert our authority over the darkness and use our prayers to push back the gates of hell.
Don’t be alarmed if you hear of wars or rumors of wars. This, according to Jesus, is not the end of the world. Occupy until Christ returns. With your prayers and weapons of war, push back the gates of hell. Rely on the written word and sound doctrine. Remember that your prayers have more power than you realize. They have the ability to break down demonic strongholds in the earth, which changes the physical realm. When we pray for victory over the kingdom of hell, we will begin to see it in the physical realm as well.
Please pray.Pray for the world’s nations. Pray powerful prayers and assert your authority over the dark powers and demons. That authority was given to you by Christ.”Upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it.” (Matt. 16:18)
