The early church is strongly urged in the letter to the Hebrews to continue gathering because it was through gathering together that they would be encouraged to hold fast the confession of their hope without wavering. In other words, it was by gathering together that they would be heartened to stand fast in the day of affliction. Yet, in our day of affliction, we have instead opted to refrain from gathering together. And that has resulted in many, within the church, becoming disheartened. The Bible plainly states that one of the best ways to love our brethren is by regularly gathering together …as well as to honor the Lord’s Sabbath Day of rest! By gathering together, we can stir each other to love and do good works, as well as encourage each other in the midst of affliction, even if you want to argue about which day to do it.

They really envision a future with a small, centrally controlled population. They’ve blatantly predicted it must happen by the year 2030. They fully intend to have a world with a single government, a single economy, a single currency, a single language, a single education system, a single healthcare system, and a single religion. The docile citizens of their new world will be trained to worship the Earth and the ruling elite. As you already know, they’ve already achieved a great part of their goals through modern entertainment media. How many millions of people, especially in the industrialized West, mindlessly swoon in worship at the feet of ‘personality cults’ in both the world of movies and music, and the world of sports? The elites absolutely love this kind of ‘idolatry.’ As long as the masses of people’s minds are not paying attention to God’s Word and things that bring honor to Jesus, The Messiah, they really don’t care which of their idols gets the glory.

If we American Christians do not persistently petition our Lord for His mercy, guidance, and protection for our nation, and do everything in our strength to use our God given abilities and influence to urge fellow citizens to actively vote, the influential ‘gates of hell’ will corruptly steal not only the coming election. If we do not get deeply serious about being the beacons of light to our communities – ongoing from here on – our feeble testimony will be squelched by tyrants who hate God and hate you.
