OLIVE TREE MINISTRIES
I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SEE THE DAY
By Jan Markell
A popular pastor came up with a series
with this title some years ago. He listed a lot of aberrations in the culture,
country, and world, a decade ago. I thought I would come up with a list of my
own as we wind down 2017. It has been an historic year to say the least.
Everything is on overdrive. Here goes. I never thought I would live to see:
• The earth reeling in an apocalyptic
fashion, yet most go about their business as usual,
eating, drinking, and
enjoying life.
• Hawaii warning their people of a
nuclear attack.
• European Commission head Jean-Claude
Junker call for a single ruler of the E. U.
• Every natural disaster preceded by
words such as "unprecedented", "of biblical proportion",
and "history
making". Hurricane Irma was so strong it was measured on a device that tracks earthquakes.
making". Hurricane Irma was so strong it was measured on a device that tracks earthquakes.
• A major U.S. newspaper says that
someday everyone would "willingly get micro- chipped."
• Planned Parenthood team up with
Satanists to cooperate in their mutual evil.
• People heeding the warnings of
impending natural disasters but scoffing at the ultimate warnings of the Lord's
return and the fires of hell.
• America seriously talking about the
possibility of an EMP attack.
• Over 40% of Americans say they would
prefer socialism over capitalism.
• Actors in Central Park Simulating the
assassination of a U.S. President.
• Satanic outfits granted IRS tax
exempt status while Christians and Conservatives are overlooked and ignored.
• A nationalist-Donald J. Trump-undo
the efforts of the world's globalists and be inaugurated instead of
arch-globalist Hillary Clinton. The world's
globalists are in a free-fall.
• The Catholic Church in South America
state the Pope Francis is paving the way for the Antichrist.
• A major U.S. newspaper- The Washington Post-call Satan good and a great representation for secularism.
• A discussion of womb transplants for
men.
•
Pre-schoolers indoctrinated that transgenderism is normal.
• A Christian baker being forced to
make a birthday cake for Satan featuring an upside-down cross.
• The "powertainment
industry" (Hollywood) so weakened due to scandals that its influence is
diminishing as people boycott films.
• The Boy Scouts cave and let girls
join the organization.
• Word of a revival in North Korea.
• The son of a Hamas leader, who is now
a Christian, telling the United Nations that Palestinian leaders are a bunch of
terrorists.
• Rick Warren state that he hoped his
partnership with a Catholic leader would become the ecumenical model for the
world.
As I reflected on my list, I realized I
could go on and on and on. We are in unusual times. Many notice and many are
asking questions.
The Bible warns that toward the end of history there
will be a return to pre-flood conditions. The Scripture says concerning the
people of Noah's day, "Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was
great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only
evil continually' (Genesis 6:5)." There was perversion. People ignored
Noah's warnings. The aberrant was very likely celebrated. Up was down and black
was white.
II Timothy 3 also warns that in the
last days, mankind would focus on self, money, and enjoyment. There would be a
departure from sound doctrine.
Noah's message was simple: Are you ready? The Ark was a type of the
Rapture offering safety. I close this article asking the same: Are you ready
for His return. It could be today. Warning signs are everywhere.
NOTE FROM JAN:
As I finished this article, I was apprised of a so-called "drag queen"-obviously quite demonic- reading to a group of preschoolers at the Michele Obama Library in Long Beach, CA. And to be honest, I never thought I'd see the day! I sat in stunned silence as I looked at the photo which reflects how we have sunk as a culture and have glorified all things evil and aberrant. This is why America needs watchmen more than ever and why we must not be silent in the face of evil. I remind you of Edmund Burke's quote, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”
