The eyes of many within the Church globally are finally being opened to see the plan of the anti-Christ, but many are still under strong delusion because they refuse to listen to the truth. As 2 Thessalonians 2: 9 – 11 says, “The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,”
What we believe and who we believe are going to be critical for us in this season. This is a season where people will be required to pledge allegiance – whether Christ or anti-Christ. Those who are world-focused and materialistic will choose the anti-Christ. The mark of the beast is about allegiance in the end time. 666 is more than a number; it is about what the number represents. We are seeing most global leaders choosing the things of the anti-Christ rather than the things of Christ. If someone is putting his/her trust more in the vaccine than in Christ to heal and deliver us, while they justify closing the House of the Lord, then we will be seeing the numbers rise and new diseases coming to the fore.
Negatives and Positives
Since the COVID-19 pandemic started, we are seeing the revealing of many hearts, the falling away of members of the Body of Christ (Apostasy), anti-Christ laws being passed on the premise of scientific propaganda. Only the big businesses are making super-profits. Big Tech and Big Pharma are profiting while there is a major push to silent the Church – the true voices; and because of that, we may see the three (3) woes as told to us in Revelation, pour out upon the earth. That may include a global heatwave that may claim thousands of lives. We should watch the month of April and onward.
Rewards for Closing the Church
Let it be understood that the Church is God’s business and when the business sector tries to sabotage the Church, we will see many devastating occurrences. There will be a wave of bankruptcy, more businesses will die; famine, shaking in politics, increased crime and violence, cosmic disruptions, earthquakes, increase in the occult as many will turn to evil. Selling the Lord for 30 pieces of silver always has tragic circumstances. There will be more hangings and suicides. The stock market will crash. Every secular institution must know that it is not the enemy that has given us the power to get wealth, but it is God. The world must know that when the economy of the Church fails, the World economy will also face devastation. Great men in the Bible – Solomon, Hezekiah, Pharaoh – built God’s house.
Many have benefitted from the Church on a daily basis, the poor, the fatherless and the widow, salary of the priest, and those who serve in the House of God. The spiritual aspect of the nation is far more important than any other. In fact, God first created the economy before man. When man sins, it is thorns and thistles – man begins to labor with hard work when in the beginning everything was given to man freely. When we hinder people from worshipping God, where will the young converts be shepherded?
God’s word specifically tells us that we are not to forsake the assembling of the brethren together. “Gathering” on the virtual platform is not accomplishing that instruction. In fact, the word virtual means that something is so in essence but not in actuality. It is not real.
Hebrews 10: 25, “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.”
An assembly is “a group of people gathered together in one place for a common purpose.” If governments lock down God’s government in the earth, which is the Church, then He will also lock down their governments. So, there will be no meetings, no sessions, no law-making and no benefits for them. Everything will come to a standstill.
No Pastor can shepherd their flock without touching the sheep. A shepherd’s primary responsibility is the safety and welfare of the flock and other duties include, flock welfare, protecting from predators, protecting the health of the sheep and shearing the flock that further includes the laying of hands, anointing their heads with oil, examining them for insects and diseases, and that cannot be done virtually. When the shepherd fails to do that, the flock will die as the sheep cannot survive without the shepherd. Whose hands will the blood be on?
