It is The End of The World (As We Know It)
Hello ,
This is an open letter to you. Whomever you are, I am writing this directly to you. Not your Mother, Father, Child, Neighbor, C0-Worker or otherwise. This letter is for you.
How are you today? I hope all is well. Did my title get your attention? How you read that title and interpret it, will depend a lot on your world view. I don't just mean your political views, your religious views or your various views on social issues. I am talking about the lens in which you see the big picture.. How you see The World. You may not have much of a world view at all. You may have focused your lenses on just what goes on around you, or your go to news station. Maybe your world view is limited to you immediate family , friends and community. No matter how large of a lens you have CHOSEN to see through or how small and limited of a lens you have CHOSEN to see through: You do have a world view.
There is much talk about concerning where we are in the timeline of earth these days. You may not see the chatter as having anything to do with Biblical Prophecy or even non-biblical, extra-biblical predictions from many religions, spiritualist and "see-ers" throughout history, but much of what you are seeing and hearing is not only confirming, but actually fulfilling Biblical Prophecy right before your eyes.
I wont try and convince you that The Bible is supernatural in nature and is not just a book written by man, assembled by man and manipulated by man. I am not going to try and preach the gospel to you in this post. I just want you to consider what is happening around you, what is coming soon, and how you will react when it happens right before your eyes. Will you lay aside all the doubts and reach out in faith, or go the way of the crumbling world and harden your heart?
So for the sake of this letter to you, will you do me the favor of just assuming The Bible is the road map to the end of this age on earth and is God Himself speaking to mankind and showing us the Beginnings and The Endings of Modern Man and the current age on this earth. The Bible on its surface is a tiny glimpse into what amounts to a blink of an eye into the history of this planet and universe. It does pan out and give hints and shadows of what came before modern man, but at best we can only make an educated guess at it. The Bible does pretty well explain what will come for the millennium after the age of man on earth, and mentions eternity after that, but we do not see the whole picture, the details or what God will do in detail on earth after this age ends.
Consider this. Even the most prosperous nations on earth can not find peace. Even places that boast of their civil, socially driven societies , have hidden violence and wicked mummering's under the surface. No matter how hard they try to mask it, cover it, sugar coat it or just plain lie about it, every single nation suffers violence and murder in one form or another.
Let's take Iceland for example. The murder rate and crime rate in Iceland is very low. Murders do happen. Violence does occur, but is is rare. However the fallen nature of mans stony heart can not escape spilling the blood of innocence and can not help but to find a way to align with wickedness where ever a society leaves open the door. Note the pictures below and continue reading.
Do you know in Iceland these wonderful, beautiful people would not even be allowed to be born. They proudly boast of almost eliminating down syndrome. They abort almost every baby that test positive for it. That should make you sick after seeing these pictures. If you are coming up with a reason why that is not a bad thing, you are in danger my friend of falling for the greatest deception since Hitler and the gas chambers, to come to mankind. If you can look at these pictures and say that Iceland is a magical land of peace and harmony, and not see the gross wickedness behind this boast, my heart fears for your soul. What you are telling these people is that they really have no right to exist, that they shouldn't have been born and that they should have been torn apart and thrown away before they were born. Ouch.
Remember we started this letter talking about your world view. Your world view is being challenged right now, as your mind races to jive your beliefs on abortion and pro-choice, and the very real reality of what these pictures are showing. You will be forced to say to these beautiful faces one day why you thought that way about them. How much wickedness of action and thought will you allow , so you never have to admit what your heart already knows. The policy of Iceland and the extermination of all like those pictured above is wicked, evil and comes not from God. Oh, I know what you are thinking, they were not babies yet, just "fetuses". Okay, I hear your pro-choice talking points burning rubber in your head. But, sorry, not here. This is not about pro-choice or pro-life. It is about what you will allow in order to guard your world view , even if you have to allow evil to do it.
I just read an article today that a "Christian" School covered up a wicked, unholy sexual assault on a student in a locker room. It was described by the school administration and a freshman hazing incident. They turned police away when they arrived and told them to get a warrant. A freshman boy was attacked in the locker room, beaten, turned around and violated with a baseball bat. These "Christian" school leaders to this day defend themselves and their actions saying that they had "qualified' administrators dealing with it. They were allowing a wicked act of violence and sin to stay hidden and whitewashed, in order to protect the fake image they portrayed. They allowed a false religious world view that had ZERO to do with The Love of Christ they proclaimed and everything to do with the fact they are a deceived people, who are in line with a false Christ and his anti-christ spirit.
You can be sure The Spirit of The Lord has nothing to do with their actions. They hid evil, in order to guard themselves. The "Church" has a long history of using Jesus as their marketing tool, all while serving a false christ in their actions and heart.
I could list many other religions that use their beliefs as a cover to allow the greatest evils and wickedness mankind can conjure, but I will single out my own. Or more accurately those who use Christ as a marketing tool and cover while never really knowing Him. Jesus spoke of them when teaching the people. He said :
Matthew 7:21-23
21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
2 Thessalonians 2:5-12
Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.
9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
So, how will your worldview effect your destiny when the things mentioned above begin to unfold on earth. They are actually rapidly unfolding right now. I could write a whole book here describing how, when, where and why, but this is not that post.
When you are faced with he very real choice of choosing your own worldview, your own politics , your own social beliefs and dogmas or laying them all down in order to choose God over The Lawless One, what will you choose. Make no mistake, there is good and there is evil. There is a God and there is Devil. There is a heaven and there is a hell. You are given a choice.
I am not telling you that you are going to hell. Many reading this are believers in Christ, with their eternal destiny sealed in Christ. However oh believer, have you been deceived into helping the lawless one spread his lies and deceit. Have you been hijacked in your flesh to spread a shadow of deceit over the world , so that when the world does tilt , many are swept away by the greatest evil mankind has ever seen?
We have watched over the past few years many that claim to be led by The Holy Spirit and to be Disciples of Jesus Christ, say and do the most ungodly, foolish things. They were openly acting out in the flesh, and calling it righteous. They were showing the darkness that was always hidden in their worldview.
They revealed what was really in their hearts and still to this day, many, defend their fleshy, rebellious, un-Christlike actions. It is plain to anyone who can discern The Spirit of God that a great shadow has fallen upon much of the western church. The Flesh has ruled, from greed, to excess, to uncontrolled emotions, to rebellion and hatred. From uber-rich celebrity preachers flaunting their wealth in Nigeria right next to persecuted and starving Christians, to preachers in America living like celebrities or carrying guns down main street. They all have believed a lie, and are swayed by the devil, the world and the flesh.
Their worldview in the coming years will see them locking out their starving brethren , fighting with guns and instruments of death, starting wars between the people they are supposed to be messengers of peace to.
The secular progressive governments, will fair no better, and the wicked communist governments will return to genocide and the slaughter of millions of minorities and Christians that they have perfected over the years. Those with a very liberal world view will fall, like those who can still look at the pictures above and see no issue with Iceland's policy, they will become very cold , unempathetic and look like the elitist of the past. They will justify the most wicked acts of violence against all that will not bow to their worldview. They will deem anyone who will not accept their worldview as an attack on their society. They will justify eliminating the "trouble makers" .
The tool used by the enemy as he revels himself in true form will vary by those with differing worldviews. But there are three things all mankind have in common will be what ends up united all the different worldviews into his unholy "church".
Money, Religion(yes even Atheist) and the need for a Leader. Right now the world is arranging in a way that will cause the nations of the world to embrace a leader that will bring the world religions and the world finances. under his cloud of deceit. He will turn the masses against anyone who will not bow to Him and His system. The only ones that will not be deceived by Him are those who are truly filled with The Holy Spirit. Like the early believers that faced the lions instead of bowing to the pagans of the day. Like the believers who faces\d persecution and death because they would not bow to communist Mao. Like the believers now who are beheaded ,tortured and burned alive because they will not denounce Christ and profess Islam.
It is not only Christians who will suffer , anyone who will not fall in line with his system of "world peace" will be deemed unworthy to work, shop or participate in society. You may laugh at that ,but it is happening now. China is enslaving and killing minorities in their nation. Across the western world, people are being denied jobs and income because they do not want to be injected with a vaccine that they do not trust. Right now some of you don't care if families are being destroyed because they do not believe the same way you do. You are being prepped, much like the German people were, to watch atrocities against others and look the other way.
At the same time , so called Christian churches and organizations are advocating taking up arms, violent overthrow and civil war. Like the false Christians that spread the gospel by sword and force, they are deceived. Like the churches under Constantine they are following a false Christ and a wicked spirit. They believe more in the power of a theocracy than The Kingdom of God. They know nothing of The Love and Power of Christ. They , like the leaders in the dark ages, believe they can legislate godliness and anyone who does not bow to their religion(not Jesus) doesn't deserve to live and operate in society.
I will end with this. No matter who you are. Seek The Lord. Ask God to help you see with His eyes. Ask Him to save you from the time to come. Ask Him to keep you from the great deception. Then lay aside your worldview and listen. He will respond to all who call upon Him. He will reward those who diligently seek Him. Above all do not let your pride and stubbornness cause you to be one of the ones The Lord describes below. Rather listen to the words of Peter
My next post will be The Gospel of The Kingdom as The Word Supernaturally tells it and how you will know The True Church Of Jesus Christ
Romans 1:28-32
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.
2 Timothy 3:1-9
3 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! 6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith; 9 but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was.
Revelation 9:20-21
20 But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk. 21 And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.

Catharsis Therapy To Face The Darkness
This is not for everyone . If you choose to read it. Please do so prayerfully. This post is about my experience and perspective and does not reflect on anyone else or any Church. Most important. God Is Good. All these things will turn with great momentum and will be used to go about doing good and setting others free, in Jesus Name. The darkness being expelled from the lives of all The Lord sends.
It seems, for one reason or another , I have been forced to face something from my past that I had thought I had thoroughly dealt with. The darkness keeps creeping up on me and settling upon me. Honestly I would prefer to not visit these memories. I would prefer to count the work I have already done in facing them as complete and move on.
It is no fun to face pain. It is no fun to relive trauma and it is certainly no fun to have that trauma trip you up every time you begin to fully break free from its grip. However that is where I find myself. Once again facing a pain and a struggle I hate with all my being.
I wont lie, this round of battles has been taxing to my faith. If there is a chief of double mindedness and unstable emotional roller coaster riders, I am He. It is as if I am surrounded by a fog, a darkness that seems to have stolen all The Lord built in me over the last 30 years. My spirit, when stirred and in the perfect environment comes alive. However that fog seems to await as soon as I begin to walk out my day.
I guess I could describe the feeling and pressure as a severe, traumatic and devastating sense of loss and failure. Worse yet, I know all the answers, well all the text book "christian-ese" answers. I know the WORD , I know about the power of prayer and confession. Yet here I am again. Facing something that feels like it wants to take everything I love from me, and if it cant, which it cant, it is content in isolating me in a dark fog of looping memories and thoughts. I find myself reaching in the darkness only to find the chains that hooked my soul before I had any choice in the matter. Even more wicked, this evil intruder seared into my soul the belief that it was my choice, it was my fault, and I was deserving of the pain and judgement of the darkness that surrounds me.
I am sharing this as a way to utilize a tool in mental health called Catharsis Therapy. I actually learned about this today as an actual tool to use in the effort to get to the core of these types of emotional traumas and loss. Even as I write this I have a sense of empowerment. I will admit the image search brought me back to the place where the wicked intruder attacked my innocent vulnerable soul.
Why was darkness allowed to steal my innocent baby and toddler years?
I could wax spiritual here, but that isn't the point or purpose of this post. I could post one of the many poems and encouragements I have written over the years. I could show how much I understand about trauma, the body, the soul, the brain and how our spirit can be crippled by those things, but it wouldn't add to or help in this particular share.
There are simply times in life we have to admit we just do not know. There are no easy answers. There are no theological views that bring any type of peace or closure to this for me. Not yet anyway. Why was such a dark spirit allowed to attack and innocent toddler? Why was this dark spirit allowed to return , night after night, from before my brain formed memories until I was somewhere between 6-8?
Where were the angels? Where was God? Why was Satan allowed to so scar my soul that even now at 50 years old, I can still feel the pin pierce the palm of my hand? Even as I sit here typing this, my hand feels a little numb and my stomach feels and "hears" the sounds of terror and judgment and fear.
Why is my other earliest memory of an actual event that would scar me and literally leave a foul taste in mouth until my 30s and 40s. Why allow an innocent child to have 2 traumatic memories as his first memories?
Throughout my childhood I remember having big outburst of anger when I felt left out or abandoned. I was a very angry kid. From kindergarten to when I was expelled , I was always fighting. I had to meet with a councilor in 5th grade for anger at school.
There were other symptoms. I wrote a note to a girl once when I was in 5th grade that was very sexually explicit. Her mom found it and she interrupted me and the girl on the phone and straightened me out. She was very firm but also seemed to know that it wasn't normal for a 5th grader and there must have been a reason for it. Thinking back , I don't even know where those words came from, I mean they were weird.
When I was about 9 or 10 I left much of being a kid behind. Darkness stole me preteen years. I started drinking and smoking pot regularly at 11, straight out partying when I was 12 and on to cocain and LSD when I was 15 or 16.
To add to my issues, there was something in my soul that shut down my system when I would try and have sex as a teen. Not that I didn't want to, but, something in me shut down everything. By the time I was 18 I seriously was deep in depression and hurt. I was acting out in other ways to try and meet the sexual needs I had, but that only brought shame to my heart. I became so addicted to one activity that even after meeting my wife it brought shame to me. I racked up bills on relatives phones and my dads phone bill. Darkness just wouldn't let me live a normal life. As if it was steering me to become a violent, foul, broken man.
I met the girl that would become my wife and things seemed to finally work. We were married less than a year after meeting. It seemed my life was finally going to normalize..........but no.
Then all hell broke loose in me. I had plans to attend college and become a police officer. It fell through, and as I said, it seemed all the darkness that was following me, that attached to me as a baby all came flooding upon me and in me. Not even a year into our marriage, with a new baby boy on the way, I became a man I didn't recognize, I gained over 100 ponds in about a year. I was angry, not working, had my new family on welfare and heading to being a man I did not like. I was emotionally, spiritually and physically at the bottom of a foul pit. I threw up everyday for almost 2 years. I couldn't walk up a set of stairs without feeling sick.
My wife is so precious, she doesn't hold any of those years against me, and really doesn't even feel the need to recall them. So for her benefit, I will not share the level at which I fell into anger. I will just say, it is not the man I was created to be and is not the man I am today. I am thankful those days did not last any longer than they did.
Once again, what I thought was going to be a breakthrough of life. darkness stole it.
Then one night I called my Dad and explained what was happening. He said. Rand you have to go to Church. I did, that is a longer testimony, but in a couple years, God did a miraculous work in me and our life. He saved me from sure early end.
I wish I could say The Lord has given me a great deliverance, and in many ways He has. However suffering and pain seems to have followed me. His grace has always been there, but, there has been so much suffering of the soul. I cant even describe it fully. I spent years suffering with so much stress, anxiety, fear and pain, that I was physically in pain for many years.
I sat in Church for year after year in so much physicals and emotional pain. No help came, no one heard, no one seemed to care, the weight finally crushed me. Some year later, I returned to the house of God after going into deep darkness and sin.
There was a leader prepared by God to be a door for me to a team prepared by God to be a safe place for me. For many years the fires of The Spirit cleansed me, strengthened me, and drew me close to brothers and sisters in The Lord. I was on a great mountain top high with that team for many years. I needed that family. It seemed we were on a track to be a mighty ministry for our local church and a mighty fellowship of covenant saints.
Then it seemed it was all gone. All taken away. All the dreams an visions stolen. The path destroyed, the family broken. This was my perspective. I tried to hold it together the best I could. I tried to grab the spiritual reigns and keep everyone on the same path on the same mission. It was all for nothing, I slowly, began to sink. I teamed up with a friend in the spirit to join spiritual forces to launch his ministry outreach. During a very hard time personally, I asked him to remember me when he needed to add staff. He didn't, he actually acted like I never even said that to him. Again this was my perspective. It crushed my soul. I literally felt like I got punched in the stomach. Another person abandoned me, and I felt guilty for expecting anything, for thinking I deserved to be part of a team like that.
The last several years have been a constant battle. Most explained above. It has brought me to where I sit today as I type this. Naturally I have so much joy concerning my wife, my sons and my grand daughter. However, as I said above, I also have a great sense of loss and failure. As if the darkness has won and disqualified me from the dreams and visions I have in God and His Kingdom.
Always a choice right? Choose laying it down and moving on. Or pressing on and holding on to hope. With a constant feeling, who am I kidding, all is gone, all have abandoned me, and because I lack the skills to build relationships and I don't have the perfect little box life, I really wont ever step into my destiny. So I just wont really choose either, but as you know that doesn't work. Not choosing Gods path always lets the darkness in to influence our path
Enter the darkness and why I feel I am facing this now. Below are picture representations of the horrific nightmare that is my earliest memory. Or my earliest memory that became a reoccurring nightmare. I believe I have fully utilize Catharsis Therapy writing this. They say pictures are a good form to stir the emotions and face them.
Thank you for reading this far.
Even now as an adult , when I feel like the darkness is surrounding me, I feel as if I am bound to make the wrong decision. Now though when I reach, I find nothing but chains waiting to bound me back to the darkness.
BUT GOD!!!!!!!!
“You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people, in order that you may proclaim the mighty acts of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light” (1 Peter 2:9)
Colossians 1:13-1413 For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, 14 who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins.
