The Third Seal – A Black Horse (Famine & Scarcity)
The Encroaching Darkness
We continue to see corruption everywhere:
Throughout the highest levels of government
In our entertainments
In our schools
Even in many of our churches
Many of those in the corridors of power should be incarcerated for treason
Legislators that sign bills they haven’t read
Executives who are allowed to ignore the laws
Judges who reverse juries, amend laws, and indulge in social engineering
Leaders who fail to exhibit the most elementary ethical conduct
The entertainment industry celebrates every imaginable evil and attacks all the family values which God has established for our welfare
The educational establishment which deliberately dumb-downs and corrupts our youth.
There was a day when you could rely on the fiduciary posture of your advisors, counsellors, and professionals – today that would be naïve and hazardous
Every day the litany of non-constitutional abuses continue unabated
Every day self-destructive polices extend their reach
Every day it grows darker
Every day the debts grow larger; they are already beyond any semblance of reality
It’s not our job to predict the future (divination is prohibited in the Torah)
‘The Key is not to predict the future, but to be prepared for it’ said Pericles
Yeshua counselled us to understand the signs of the times – see Matthew chapters 24-25
It is our responsibility to prepare for coming storms
The Bible instructs us not to be ignorant of Satan’s devices (2 Corinthians 2: 11)
Paul warns us that “we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” (Ephesians 6: 12)
