Social Media Ministers

 

Back in the Day, it used to be that if you wanted to be a Minister you had to feel God had specifically called you to do it.

Then you would dedicate years of your life to study at a Bible College or Seminary.

Then you would spend a year as an Intern at a church, usually as Youth or Associate Pastor.

Then you studied and prepared to face the (dreaded) Ordination Board for your hearing, where they grilled you about your personal beliefs, lifestyle and understanding of doctrine before they had to unanimously vote to make you an official minister.

Then, once ordained, when you were applying to be a Minister at a specific church, you faced THEIR Church Board for an interview.

NOW, to be a Preacher all you need is .. 

  an Instagram account and/or a YouTube channel.

Women sit in the front seat of their car with a take-out coffee in their hand doing a Biblical rant.

Men lounge on their couches or on their beds (equally angry) and spouting out that other Christians are “Biblically illiterate”.

They are young (usually under forty), haven't been Christians for very long, arrogant and absolutely sure they know it all and it is their “calling” to set the rest of us straight…

when they themselves are absolutely riddled with errors.

But this isn't just “uberous of the young” that can be ignored because most of them have THOUSANDS of Followers (if not Millions).

I actually came across an online weekly Bible Study by Justin Bieber which had Millions of Followers. The “Beebs” preaching GobbledeeGook and his followers lapping it up like starving, stray cats getting a bowl of milk.

What's also concerning is the things these “preachers” are glaringly wrong about. It isn't obscure, doctrinal issues but the basics of the Christian faith like WHO Jesus is and HOW you get Saved.

Then when they start defining “original sin”, being “Born Again”, “made in God's image” “justification vs sanctification” etc. we have just taken the off-ramp into Kooky-ville.

🤪

I believe this is probably another manifestation of the End Times Apostate Church, which is just a high-falootin’ way of referring to the Christian church “falling away” in these Last Days and no longer following “sound doctrine”.

"For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear."

(Timothy 4:3)

The Bible warned us this was coming thousands of years ago.

When I first started reading End Times Bible Prophecy in 1978 when I was just 12 years old and a brand new Born Again Christian (Oops❗️🫢 Accidently outed my Biological and Christian age on the internet again), I took most of the book of Revelation as symbolic because I couldn't imagine it happening.

I mean, seriously, you can't have the entire world without cash. That's ridiculous! 😅😂

And how is the entire WORLD going to watch the SAME thing LIVE?! That's Nonsense.🤨

But, before you judge me too harshly, keep in mind this was BEFORE cell phones, the Internet, satellites and ATM machines.

Through the years, as I have watched world events unfold, and NOW that we are seeing Revelation events take place before our eyes 🫣😳, 

I've come to realize the events recorded there are literally going to happen, even if many things STILL seem too FANTASTICAL to take place.

Revelation says that during the 7-year Tribulation period an Angel will circle the earth proclaiming the Gospel (good news) about Jesus out loud. The world “angel” means “Messenger” so I used to wonder if this referred to a broadcasting satellite circling the earth that Christians would someday use in order to preach the gospel to the entire world. 🤔

Do you know what I think now?

I think it's exactly what it says it is. Even though God's Wrath is unleashed on the World at that time, His basic goal remains the same. He wants people to repent and turn away from their sins, accept Jesus's sacrificial death on the cross as atonement for THEIR personal sins and enter into a right relationship with Him.

But since none of these Social Media Ministers can get even those basics right and the Ministers in regular churches have either gone Woke, are Drag Queens or Wolves there to Fleece their unsuspecting Flock, an Angel directly from God telling the Truth about Jesus 24/7 is what is needed.

"And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters."

Revelation 14:6-7 

Jesus warned us, way back yonder, that the vast majority of people in these times would be deceived and He wasn't exaggerating.

"Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you.  For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many."

Matthew 24:4-5

I'll say it again, you have to be praying to Jesus and studying the Bible each and every day. This is the only way to keep from being duped. Even if you're busy you must MAKE the time. We are Down to the Wire, Folks, and people's immortal souls are on the line, including your own.

BOOM❗️Mount Saint Helens

I remember the Sunday morning in 1980 when Mt. St. Helens blew, just after 8:00 am. I lived in Vancouver,  British Columbia (in Canada) and by noon, because the winds were blowing North, it became pitch black outside because we were covered in falling Volcanic ash.

The Mountain had rumbled for 2 months previously so people had plenty of time to be evacuated and relocated to safety.

But more than 200 people refused to leave, including Harry R. Truman whom Americans admired for his stubbornness and attitude to win against the mountain. The Media would visit Harry daily to hear his pearls of gritty wisdom as he rose to become a folk hero in many people's eyes.

But Harry and 56 others lost their lives unnecessarily because they arrogantly ignored the warnings. 

"I'm going to go down with the ship."

- Harry Truman.

And he did. The mountain took his life in 22 seconds when a 2 hour car ride would have saved it.

😞

Will you heed God's warnings that Judgment is coming and save yourself by Following Jesus or ...

"As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.  For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 

 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away." 

(Matthew 24:37-39)

Destruction of DAMASCUS: Isaiah 17 (Simplified)

 

Okay. Let's cut through the Theological and Eschatological Mumbo-jumbo and get to the chase.

In Bible Prophecy, written THOUSANDS of years ago, it says in these End Times the city of Damascus (the oldest continually inhabited city) is going to be destroyed and become uninhabitable.

Before you read what the prophet Isaiah directly has to say  look at my map of 

🔴 Damascus

🔴 Aram (which is modern Syria)

🔴 Ephraim (area God gave to that tribe)

🔴 Aroer (in Jordan)

With those keys you can unlock and read (for YOURSELF) what the Bible says.

"A prophecy against Damascus.

'See, Damascus will no longer be a city
    but will become a heap of ruins.
2 The cities of Aroer will be deserted
    and left to flocks, which will lie down,
    with no one to make them afraid.
3 The fortified city will disappear from Ephraim,
    and royal power from Damascus;
the remnant of Aram will be
    like the glory of the Israelites,'
declares the Lord Almighty."

(Isaiah 17:1-3)

It's worth you reading all of Isaiah, chapter 17 so you can get the full picture.

As I have often said before, "All eyes on Israel in the End Times".

This is where all the World action will center again.

Prophetic Shock 😲

 

When the Apostle John (who lived about 2,000 years ago and the Prophet Daniel (who lived about 2,500 years ago) were given prophetic visions of our current times they must have been completely overwhelmed and struggled to make sense of what they were looking at. 

I mean, they were living in a time period LONG before things like cars and electricity were invented. That's why when they describe the things we take for granted in the books of Revelation and Daniel they are struggling to find the words and are always using the phrase,

"It was like ..."

There are certainly portions of the Bible that we need to use our imaginations in too, but the difference is that we can much more readily identify what they are describing because it is familiar to us.

What would Daniel and John have made of THESE following images?

Are We There Yet? (Signs of the End Times)

 

America is not a superpower 

Hollywood is obsolete 

McDonalds is bankrupt

Mickey Mouse is Gay

Artificial Intelligence runs the planet

Human Beings are “hackable animals”

Male and Female is irrelevant

Pulpits are silent

You tell me if we are in the End Times
