Staying Focused: Prophesy Now More Important Than Ever :: By Dave Hubley

(There is a special message at the end of this article for those who might happen to read this and are looking for peace and a way to better understand the present-day insanity and confusion.)

I won’t invest a lot of time in detailing the mind-warping degradation of every aspect of human activity at the present time.

It can’t be missed by anyone who is even marginally watching the blizzard of lies, obfuscations, mayhem, and insanity present everywhere.

It can be very distracting – if we let it.

Just one quick example will actually reveal and confirm what God foretold of the depravity of humans who attempt to deny His existence by their actions:

“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” (Romans 1:28). Emphasis added.

A recent report that has received widespread attention has to do with a warning that appeared on Tylenol bottles: That pregnant women should not take that drug.

A number of these women posted videos of themselves spitefully taking the pills despite the warnings. In at least one case, it resulted in a woman having to be put on a ventilator. The report indicated that she will not survive. It was done just to display their personal hatred of President Trump because he reiterated the warning! These “mothers to be” demonstrated their priorities, and it obviously is not the well-being of their innocent babies. In this case, it implies that there can be a demon in demonstration.

It speaks volumes and is a confirmation that God’s warnings are inerrantly accurate.

How do we comprehend this kind of reprobate thinking?

How do we deal with the rising acceptance of and even celebration of the murder of people who hold a Christian worldview view such as Charlie Kirk, and by association, every Bible believing, and true Christ-worshipping Christian all over the world? To grasp the direction in which the world is heading, read the verses relative to the murder of the two witnesses and the world’s celebration of it: (Revelation 11:7-10).

The reasons that explain this present-day aberrant behavior are readily available. It can be spiritually and mentally prepared for by reading and understanding the Word of God as we should (2 Timothy 3:1-5 / Romans 1:18-32 / others found by cross-referencing on Bible Hub).

There is a clear path to understanding this truth in the verses below. Emphasis added:

“For we are to God the sweet aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. To the one, we are an odor of death and demise; to the other, a fragrance that brings life” (2 Corinthians 2:15).

We serve as a reminder to the unsaved world that God is indeed real and every single person will face Him as He makes clear.

“And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27a).

“Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight; everything is uncovered and exposed before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account” (Hebrews 4:13).

“The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness. For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse” (Romans 1:18-20).

“It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God” (Hebrews 10:31).

It is an especially fearful and unnerving thing for those who reject God’s Grace and Mercy, for they understand it intuitively in their conscience as God indicates:

“So they show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts either accusing or defending them” (Romans 2:15). Emphasis added.

As we approach the end of the age and see the many signs, we are reminded by the Lord Jesus Himself when He prophesied of His return; this time not as the Sacrificial Lamb, but in judgment of all who have willfully rejected His Saving Grace.

This second and last time, He will return as the Lion of Judah:

“And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!” (Mark 13:37).

So, how can we best make sense of the mass of confusion and Godless, frenetic activity we are surrounded by, vexed by, and see rapidly expanding every day?

What is the best way to deal with the question I hear from many sisters and brothers: “Why are we still here?”

I can only offer up what has given me that peace that passes understanding.

For me, it is the rock-solid, unwavering Truth that can only originate by the power of God. It is prophecy, once future, already fulfilled with astonishing clarity, that testifies to the empirical Truth of those prophecies that are yet to be fulfilled but are visible on the very near horizon for those who elect to “watch,” as we are clearly instructed to do.

“…and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:7).

Now to the crux of this article.

It is never too late to begin to search the Scriptures for the answers to the oft-heard question: Why does God allow these things to continue? The answers are in there.

They can be found in the reality of His Sovereignty, Foreknowledge, and the Revelations of the prophetic Truths He has provided by His own authority as a blessing and as a bulwark against doubt and uncertainty.

“Surely the Lord GOD does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants the prophets” (Amos 3:7).

I believe we need to remember that every day He is bringing people to salvation and growing our forever family. Eternity is a very long time. In fact, then there will be no time at all but unending joy in the presence of the One True God who declares:

“For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me,
Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done, Saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, And I will do all My pleasure,’” (Isaiah 46-9-10). Emphasis added.

“For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy” (Revelation 19:10).

Prophecy: God’s immovable Rock of Truth. He is right on His schedule.

“Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!” (Psalm 27:14).

Reminder: We should make a concerted effort to pray for the lost, and Trust in the Holy Spirit. As well, we should remember to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Time is short.

The special message I promised you:

For anyone who may read this article and has not trusted in Jesus Christ and therefore has no hope or peace in your life.

You can have hope. You can have the peace that Jesus has promised to all who have made Him their Lord and Savior. The peace that passes understanding.

It requires that you come before God on His terms and that you do so in your living years.

And, what are His terms according to His Word?

• Genuine repentance (turning to God instead of continuing to reject or ignore Him).
• Confession of sins (that you are a sinner and acknowledge that to God).
• That you understand that the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23).
• To acknowledge to God that you are unable to pay that debt.
• Belief that Jesus Christ paid your death sentence for you on the cross and rose from the grave three days later, conquering death, just as He promised.
• To believe that Jesus is the Way, the only Way, that God has established by which humans may be saved from the consequences of their sin and rebellion.

God has made it absolutely clear that there is no one who comes before Him, under His terms, that will be refused.

• No one: no race, no color, no country of origin, regardless of any previous belief system: no one.
• No matter what your past sins have been, God can and WILL forgive you because He says He will.
• Salvation is available to everyone without any exceptions.

If you put all your trust for salvation in Jesus, and Him only, you can follow that prayer up by simply saying, “Thank you, Father God, for hearing my prayer and saving me,” because we can trust Him to keep His Word. He always has. He always will.

“Truly, Truly, I say to you that he who hears My words and believes the One who sent Me has eternal life and will not be condemned. He has crossed from death to life” (John 5:24).

There are no answers and there is no hope in the world by governments, organizations, politics or politicians. There are only lies and deception. But you can have the Truth and the peace you seek.

The answers are in the Word of God—The Bible. If you ask God, with all your heart, He will hear you.

“And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13).
