description: (hide) We are all living in increasingly crazy and stress-filled times, suffering hyper-inflation, a massive breakdown of the supply chain, with the Globalist controlled World Economic Forum threatening to abolish all property ownership, turning everyone into a vassal of a collectivist new world order. Americans, as well as all the other nations governed by Jacob’s offspring, have lost the pride of their power, running scared from wars and rumors of wars (Matthew 24:6). Major food shortages are being reported worldwide. Sadly, in the greater Church of God, because of increased tolerance for sin (lawlessness), the love of many has waxed cold, falling dead by the wayside (Matthew 24:12). Because many will be offended, it will be increasingly more difficult to contend for the faith once delivered (Jude 1:3). After the breakup of our precious fellowship, among the more than 500 splinter groups efforts were made to dismantle the doctrines entrusted to the Church of God, stumbling at such divisive issues as Sacred Names, new moons, Christ’s eternal pre-existence before His birth as a human, and doubt about the veracity of Christ’s God-like miracles such as resurrecting a dead man and feeding thousands of people with the most meager of resources. The past two years have heaped some veritable nightmares on God’s people, including high-handed tyrannical government controls (which Samuel warned about in I Samuel 8-15). God’s people have been commanded by Jesus Christ to endure to the end (Matthew 24:13), steadfastly trusting the Eternal rather than our own faulty understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6; Proverbs 16:3, 9), emulating their spiritual siblings who endured exponentially more than we currently have endured. As God’s people, we know that enduring will be difficult and stressful, but also that God is with us continually (Hebrews 13:5).
