The Terminal Generation and the Breaking Point

The Terminal Generation and the Breaking Point

I do not make many threads. In fact very few. But the world, and especially the US is either near, or has reached a breaking point. I choose here to speak of it now. Do I really need to link to all the hundreds of thousands of evil stories across the news services to prove my point concerning evil?

There is a reason for all this evil. A reason that many do not understand. Perhaps, even those who do understand the mechanism realize they do not have a grasp of the underlining cause.
It is in this thread I will show you this very simple cause. Not "causes". But one single reason for the obvious and total disconnect from reality our leaders, and followers are displaying. Many of you know this reason, many more do not. And, many do not care. It is so simple.
Many people are stunned at the total disconnect our leaders and even those around us have with reality. It is Delusion

As a a result of this disconnect, our entire society, indeed the society of the world is crumbling. There will be a reckoning. Whether people deny truth or believe it, the end result will be the same even though many of us do not seem to care. Some of us even know how close we are, or at least suspect how close we are to a total collapse of societal norms and the resulting collapse of the world as we know it.

Being a prepper may help for a short time, but know this: A point will come when even your gold and silver will be worthless. Will you trade your last bag of rice for a bar of gold? You cannot eat it, and no one else can eat gold either. They will not trade their bread for anything? [Ezekiel 7:19]

In this writing I will show you, and I ask those who read this to at least realize that when truth is portrayed as lie. When evil portrayed as good, then the world is upside down. As we stand on our heads, our spiritual blood runs away from our hearts, indeed from the the part of the soul that posses any reason or morals.
Yes, I speak of spiritual blood. You have it: I have it: We all have it, and your blood is either deluded or it is not. And to all generations:

God is sending a strong delusion so "they will believe the lie". 2 Thessalonians 2:11 YOU THINK!
But:
First we must define "delusion". I am not going to Miriam Webster or Wickipedia for a definition, but here through study show my own.

A delusion is a false belief "system". Something one strongly believes to be truth which is not. Indeed, a delusion is actually a "lie". When people are filled with delusions it is difficult to believe anything else, regardless of how much proof lay in front of them. To a deluded person the lie they believe is the truth and the actual truth is a lie. Abortion is ok? Stealing is good. A lie is acceptable if you get the outcome you desire. Its ok to covet your neighbors wife. All sexual promiscuity is fine? And on and on and on......This is moral decay.

This is what is happening right this very minute worldwide.
This is in the religious forum as it will ultimately be proven through a path to truth.
Truth is a matter of the heart. The spiritual blood is the spirit of God. In order for the heart to function the spiritual body or thought process must not be upside down. Sound like double talk? So I compare spiritual blood to the blood of the body. Everything must work together and properly.

It is not. It [the spiritual blood] is not flowing properly.
We are so very close to the point the prophet Daniel spoke of. We are so very close to Johns prophecy in Revelations. Things this man was shown. I hold no illusion that anything I say here will remove the strong delusions of many people today, but that some who are moving in that direction may be able to turn it around. First and foremost there is this: And do keep in mind, "time" has no meaning in Gods realm. Only in our realm on earth is it so.

2 Thessalonians; The mystery of lawlessness was already working 2000 years ago. Since a day is a thousand years to God, we have no idea how bad it will be allowed to become. God is at the helm and there will need to be a new Heaven, and a new Earth. [The old will be done away with]

The mystery of lawlessness is the working of Satan. All things evil. All things contrary to any law God has commanded. "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart" Mark 12:30-31
But if your heart is upside down, you will be a lover of yourself. You will delight in doing evil. Things so evil they are egregious to God.
And what will God do to those who do not believe the truth? The very law of God?
He will send them a "strong delusion". They will and do indeed believe the lie. All things evil. The very heart of a man is evil and they delight in it. [Jeremiah 17:9 "The heart is deceitful above all things, who can know it".
Can anyone deny the world is headed in the wrong direction....to the extreme?

Do you know what "the lie is"? Not believing the truth which is God and his laws.

And now for the naysayers, those who wish to derail what I show here because it is so grievous to their upside down hearts.

2 Peter 3:3 and beyond... "knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts"

Our very own president has had that lust for years and clearly shown it. The world is ripe with it.

I want everyone reading this to know that we all are guilty in the eyes of God. Yes, even Christians, but lovers of themselves have no love of God and scoff at those who do love Him.
Will it do any good this thread? Perhaps I didn't make my point? Perhaps those who are deluded are so much so that evil to them is so good and so enjoyable that God does not even exist to them?
Who can know it? Reality? If God is sending you a delusion, perhaps the only way out of that mess will be to....ask him to stop and point you in the right direction. That will be your only recourse.

My heart is right side up. My spiritual blood flows as my bodily blood flows.
There are only two beliefs. What is "just good and right" or what is "unjust, evil, and wrong".
There is no middle road or in between. Scoffers beware.
To all who take the time to read this: There is a part of you that will live forever, and you do control where you will reside in that eternity. I do not seek to change a mans heart, but only show how to escape from a delusion. ...Pray to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The "I Am". For release.
I am a watchman. I am required to speak truth. I look out my window. I see the trees moving. I know that which I cannot see moves them. You cannot see the breath of God, but you breath it in every minute just to sustain life. Clearly the hand of God moves, and there will be a reckoning.
So which generation is this terminal one? If you are in your 70s as I am then the terminal generation will be your great grandchildren. Even though we do not know the day or hour, we can know the "season" and it is here. My grandchildren now have their own children.

Thank you for these words of wisdom.

Communication is the problem and the solution.

Excellent post and bang on. You are true, it's easy to tell.

So in agreement with your thoughts in this heartfelt thread. Thank you Watchman!



I cling to this every day in these times. (Not my own understanding & in all my ways)



The light of the truth comforts those that know & reaches out to those yet willing to consider maybe...

Talking about delusions, in the Bible, “soul” is translated from the Hebrew neʹphesh and the Greek psy·kheʹ. Bible usage shows the soul to be a person or an animal or the life that a person or an animal enjoys. To many persons, however, “soul” means the immaterial or spirit part of a human being that survives the death of the physical body, like the notion that “there is a part of you that will live forever”. Others understand it to be the principle of life. But these latter views are not Bible teachings. They are the types of myths/false stories (Greek: myʹthos) spoken of at 2 Timothy 4:3,4:

“For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the wholesome* [Or “healthful; beneficial.”] teaching, but according to their own desires, they will surround themselves with teachers to have their ears tickled.* [Or “to tell them what they want to hear.”] They will turn away from listening to the truth and give attention to false stories.” (2 Timothy 4:3,4)

Myth 1: The Soul Is Immortal (One Myth Leads to Another)

What is the origin of the myth?

...

What does the Bible say?

“The soul that sinneth, it shall die.”​—Ezekiel 18:4, King James Version.

...

The doctrine of the immortality of the soul raised questions: Where do souls go after death? What happens to the souls of the wicked? When nominal Christians adopted the myth of the immortal soul, this led them to accept another myth​—the teaching of hellfire.

...

FACT:
At death a person ceases to exist

Myth 2: The Wicked Suffer in Hell

“The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all.” (Ecclesiastes 9:5) Jesus taught that the dead will be resurrected​—an unnecessary action if humans had an immortal soul. (John 11:11-25)

Some just have no love for truth (2 Tim 4:3,4), and “for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie” (2 Thess. 2:11). Modern translation brings out the meaning more clearly, showing that God does not deliberately delude them but merely allows Satan to delude them, since they take more pleasure in lies and unrighteousness than in truth and salvation: “The lawless one’s presence is according to the operation of Satan with every powerful work and lying signs and wonders and with every unrighteous deception for those who are perishing, as a retribution because they did not accept the love of the truth that they might be saved. So that is why God lets an operation of error go to them that they may get to believing the lie, in order that they all may be judged because they did not believe the truth but took pleasure in unrighteousness.” (2 Thess. 2:9-12, NW) The latest edition of the NW renders it as such: “That is why God lets a deceptive influence mislead them so that they may come to believe the lie”. In spiritual matters God allows Satan the god of this world to mentally blind them.—2 Cor. 4:4.

Now let's have a closer look at who “them” is referring to, other than simply describing them as some who just have no love for truth.

“The lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will do away with.”​—2 THESSALONIANS 2:8.

At 2 Thessalonians 2:3, the apostle Paul prophesied that apostasy would develop and a man of lawlessness would appear before this system’s end. In fact, Paul stated in 2Th 2 verse 7: “The mystery of this lawlessness is already at work.” So in the first century, this lawless one had begun to manifest himself.

It is vital that we identify this man of lawlessness. Why? Because he is intent on undermining our good standing with God by getting us to abandon the truth and to believe falsehoods in its place, thus diverting us from worshiping God “with spirit and truth.” (John 4:23) It is evident from his actions that this particular lawless element opposes God and his purposes, as well as his dedicated people.

Who originated and supports this man of lawlessness? Paul answers: “The lawless one’s presence is according to the operation of Satan with every powerful work and lying signs and portents and with every unrighteous deception for those who are perishing, as a retribution because they did not accept the love of the truth that they might be saved.” (2 Thessalonians 2:9, 10) So Satan is the father and sustainer of the man of lawlessness.

Paul further describes this lawless one, saying: “He is set in opposition and lifts himself up over everyone who is called ‘god’ or an object of reverence, so that he sits down in the temple of The God, publicly showing himself to be a god.” (2 Thessalonians 2:4) So Paul warns that Satan would raise up a lawless one, a false object of reverence, who would even put himself above God’s law.

Was Paul speaking of a single individual? No, for he states that this “man” was evident in Paul’s day and would continue in existence until God destroyed him at this system’s end. Thus, he has existed for many centuries. Obviously, no literal man has lived that long. So the expression “man of lawlessness” must stand for a body, or class, of people.

Who are they? The evidence shows that they are the body of proud, ambitious clergymen of Christendom, who over the centuries have set themselves up as a law unto themselves. This can be seen by the fact that there are thousands of different religions and sects in Christendom, each with its clergy, yet each conflicting with the others in some aspect of doctrine or practice. This divided state is a clear evidence that they do not follow God’s law. They cannot be from God. (Compare Micah 2:12; Mark 3:24; Romans 16:17; 1 Corinthians 1:10.) What all these religions have in common is that they do not hold fast to the Bible’s teachings, having violated the rule: “Do not go beyond the things that are written.”​—1 Corinthians 4:6; see also Matthew 15:3, 9, 14.

Thus, this lawless one is a composite person: the religious clergy of Christendom. All of them, whether popes, priests, patriarchs, or Protestant preachers, share responsibility for the religious sins of Christendom. They have exchanged the truths of God for pagan lies, teaching such unscriptural doctrines as immortality of the human soul, hellfire, purgatory, and Trinity. They are like the religious leaders to whom Jesus said: “You are from your father the Devil, and you wish to do the desires of your father. . . . He is a liar and the father of the lie.” (John 8:44) Their practices also expose them as lawless, for they participate in activities that violate God’s laws. To such ones Jesus says: “Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness.”​—Matthew 7:21-23.

History shows that those in this man of lawlessness class have displayed such pride and arrogance that they have actually dictated to rulers of the world. Under the pretext of the doctrine of ‘the divine right of kings,’ the clergy have claimed to be the essential intermediary between the rulers and God. They have crowned and dethroned kings and emperors and have been able to turn the masses for or against rulers. In effect, they have said, as did the Jewish chief priests who rejected Jesus: “We have no king but Caesar.” (John 19:15) Yet, Jesus clearly taught: “My kingdom is no part of this world.”​—John 18:36.

To elevate themselves even more above the common people, this lawless class has adopted different garb, usually black. Further, they have adorned themselves with all kinds of imposing regalia, together with crowns, crosses, and miters. (Compare Matthew 23:5, 6.) But Jesus and his followers had no such garb; they dressed as did the common people. The clergy have also taken to themselves titles such as “Father,” “Holy Father,” “Reverend,” “Most Reverend,” “His Excellency,” and “His Eminence,” which add to their ‘lifting themselves over everyone.’ Yet, Jesus taught regarding religious titles: “Do not call anyone your father on earth.” (Matthew 23:9) Similarly, Elihu, in rebutting Job’s hypocritical comforters, said: “Let me not, please, show partiality to a man; and on an earthling man I shall not bestow a title.”​—Job 32:21.

When Paul back in his day stated that the man of lawlessness had already begun his activity, he also said concerning those who reflect that one’s lawless attitude: “For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself keeps transforming himself into an angel of light. It is therefore nothing great if his ministers also keep transforming themselves into ministers of righteousness. But their end shall be according to their works.”​—2 Corinthians 11:13-15.
