THE LIGHTNING RODS

THE LIGHTNING RODS

                As a kid travelling across country with my parents I remember seeing lightning rods on barns all over the Midwest and over the central plains. These lightning rods were designed to attract lightning to them, but then to conduct the electricity to the ground thus preventing damage to the barn.

                In the political field there are two such lightning rods today…Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel and President Donald Trump in America.

                Most people living today have little or no idea the significance of these two men as it pertains to Bible prophecy. Largely this is because people no longer study Bible prophecy, nor do they comprehend where we are in prophetic time.

                The Bible in many places tells of a 7 headed beast that will rise in the last days. It will rule the entire world, controlling religion, finance and politics. It will come at a time when technology has reached a point where these prophecies can be fulfilled.

                In Revelation 12 we see a seven headed dragon waiting to devour the man child as soon as He is born. The man child escapes and is caught up to heaven, so the dragon goes after the woman that bore the child as she flees into the wilderness. But God prepares a place for the woman to be protected for 1260 days, so the dragon goes off to make war with the remnant of her seed that keep the commandments and hold to the testimony of Jesus.

                The man child is Jesus Christ. The woman who gives birth to Christ is Israel and the remnant of her seed is the church, made up of both Jews and Christians who have received Jesus as Lord and King.

                From God’s point of view, Israel and the church are His people of interest and right now, the lightning rods are the president of America and the Prime Minister of Israel. These two, by divine providence, are standing against the coming global government.

                It is no coincidence that the 7 headed dragon of Revelation 12 becomes the 7 headed Beast of Revelation 13. The coming global kingdom of the Beast is Satan’s final kingdom, make no mistake about that. If you think that globalism is a good Idea, then you belong to your father, the devil and Satan.

                It was God who divided the world into nations at the Tower of Babel and it is Satan that is seeking to rebuild Nimrod’s global cabal once again. He is seeking to rule the world in the place of Christ. He wants to rule from Jerusalem and that is why that tiny little ancient City in that tiny little country has become the cup of trembling upon which the eyes of the whole world are fastened.

                We need to understand that these two men are fulfilling Bible prophecies both good and bad. If we don’t understand this then we will be loving them one minute and hating them the next. We will be for them one minute and against them the next and we will be scratching our heads wondering what the heck they are doing and what they are thinking as they appear to be doing zany and irrational things here, and brilliant and logical things there.

                This is a battle between Christ and Satan in which these men are but pons. God’s prophetic Word will be fulfilled in every detail… and even though God is in control, it will be seen that it is the sin of man that actually brings judgments upon the land.

                The global leaders are seeking to oust Netanyahu because he has made a firm stand against the dividing of Israel and Jerusalem. On the other hand Donald Trump has raised the ire of the globalists because he is taking his stand against globalism. He refuses to surrender our sovereignty to a satanic regime.

                So when you see rioting in the streets of America or Israel, you can be pretty sure that these riots and demonstrations are funded by and incited by the globalists… and when you see them trying to destroy our second amendment rights to bear arms, it is because they want to conquer America without a fight and to herd us into their global cabal.

                Those of you, who remain complacent about the issues and care not about the two lightning rods, need to pray fervently for them. Right now they are about the only thing standing between us and the coming tribulation or Time of Jacob’s Trouble.

                Right now, the satanic powers of the beast are plotting one of three ways to get rid of Trump, either by impeachment, or by declaring him mentally incompetent or by assassination. Likewise with Netanyahu. And you can tell who owns the media by the constant insults and vitriol that they hurl against these leaders.

                It’s time to conduct a self-examination to see if we are falling for the lies of the enemy. It is not that these men are perfect… but we can certainly see who their enemies are. And we need to know our Bibles because when God can’t find a saint to do His will, He will find a sinner to do it. Cyrus and Nebuchadnezzar come to mind, along with other godless nations that God used to judge Israel for her sins.

                It seems that much of the church has become blind to God’s purposes. They seem incapable of envisioning God’s overarching plans such as the seed wars. For instance, this world is inhabited by two groups, the seed of Satan and the seed of Christ. We either belong to one group or the other and depending upon our choices we either live by the Spirit of Christ or the spirit of Satan.

                We tend to pretend that there is some form of neutral ground in which the most of us can live our lives. But according to scripture there is no neutral ground and to live by the flesh is to live by the spirit of Satan by default.

                So don’t kill the messenger here. This is simply the way it is: and we are rushing toward a climax, a final conflagration that will bring this age to an end.

                There is only one global kingdom and one global King that can bring peace to the world and that King is Jesus Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords. Choose wisely, for you will share the fate of the king you follow and you will live by the spirit of the one whom you believe in. So, pray for the lightning rods. God is using them to buy us a little more time and when they fall… all hell is going to break loose on this plane. ”…for then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever shall…” Mt. 24:21
