"2 Peter and Noah, Lot and the Coming Judgment - A Few Thoughts"


 
Hello John and Doves,
 
In reading 2 Peter last night, I came across the chapter (2) about Noah and Lot.
 
Peter wrote about God saving Noah from the global judgement - Noah was a 'preacher of righteousness'; Peter wrote about Sodom and Gomorrah - how God made these cities an example to others, and God delivered Lot.
 
Noah and Lot, both were dealing with evil all around them.  It was a stink to God's nostrils.  The Believers of today find themselves in the same kind of evil world.  A stink to God's nostrils. 
 
Peter said that if God did not spare the angels that sinned; if He did not spare the ungodly people from the Flood; if He did not spare Sodom and Gomorrah from destruction; He certainly will not spare the unrighteous today.
 
Noah was saved from drowning in the flood waters; Lot was saved from the fire and ashes of Sodom  These men were surrounded by the ungodly - but God spared them because of their righteousness.  We have God's promise to us also!
 
Peter pointed out that "the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment."  In Noah's day the 'judgment' was the flood; in Lot's day the judgment was the hail, fire and brimstone.  I believe we are 'the last generation' - judgment is coming for the unrighteous that live among us.  The Tribulation Period can't be be too far in the future. 
 
I never thought I would see my country with 'evil overflowing'!  It touches every part of our lives.  The Truth is hard to come by.  MSM is so controlled - we are only told what THEY want us to hear.  THEY want to control our jobs, our food, our transportation, our health care, our children, our communication, our churches....THEY make the laws, THEY enforce their laws.
 
Peter said, "Their destruction is their reward for the harm they have done.  They love to indulge in evil pleasures in broad daylight.  They are a disgrace and a stain among you.  They delight in deception even as they eat with you in your fellowship meals."  2 Peter 2:13
 
God brought much evil to light in America when He willed Donald Trump into office - this began the long process of  'exposing' the evil in America.  I thought I had a fairly good idea how bad it was in my country -  but I really had absolutely NO IDEA how much evil is in America!  Either with Trump's 'tweets' or, primarily, because of the evil building up in people over years, their hate, lies, deceptions have just spilled out over the last few years - they couldn't/can't control themselves - the hate is being spewed out in the MSM, Social Media, etc - they can't help but expose their dark side to everyone.  We know who most of them are now - the enemy has been brought out in the day light. This brought to light the evil we could not see.
 
We've seen government officials exposed.  The owners of Social Media exposed.  Our own FBI and DOJ exposed.  The Crack House, er..White House exposed.  Congress exposed.  The hate for Trump and those that support him is palpable.  The lies and deception are palpable.  Something wicked has metastasized across this country - festering in the shadows for decades!  Now it's in our face!
 
Many Believers have begun to smell 'the stink'.  America is in a lot of trouble.
 
I watched the movie "Sound of Freedom" this last week.  It is excellent.  I am surprised at the number of articles written condemning this movie.  Child sex trafficking is a horrible thing.  Any information bringing this to public awareness, bringing this horrible sickness into the light is to be praised - not condemned.  This country is so full of evil that when evil is exposed everything is done to 'fact check', ban, discredit, dismiss and try to get the 'sin' 'covered back up'.  (This movie is about child sex trafficking:  "It would be better for him to have a millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea than to cause one of these little ones to stumble."  Luke 17:22  THEY are offended by millstones!  They are protecting pedophilia and pedophiles in America!)
 
 
That's how we can tell, these days, that the TRUTH is coming out.  When THEY make a big stink about something - then we know evil is being exposed - THEY will fact check it and tell us 'in our face' how we are WRONG.
 
Like Noah and Lot, we are surrounded by people committing 'unlawful deeds', 'the unrighteous', 'those who have gone astray after Ba'laam', 'wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever." 2 Peter 2:17
 
We are "feasting' with them - they are our neighbors, bosses, fellow Church members, politicians, friends....  They look 'normal'.  That's what's so unnerving about this.  They don't look 'demon possessed' or 'crazy'.  They look 'normal'.  But their words and deeds expose them.  And the evil has gotten so strong in this country that they flaunt it in our faces and demand we accept their perversions as 'normal' - multiple sexes, transgenderism, sex change for children, hormone therapy, homosexuality, pedophilia, child sex trafficking, abortion, etc - they want this all 'normalized' so we all partake in their evil.  So the whole country will be perverse, follow satan, and put a fist in God's face.
 
 
Reminds me of the evil fallen angels who cane down to Mt. Hermon and plotted among themselves, and formed a pact to do great evil on earth - to corrupt the human race in the days of Noah.  We have human beings doing evils things - Peter wrote that they "cannot cease from sin"  2 Peter 2:14.  "And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually."  Genesis 6:5
 
This wickedness can't go on forever.  God will end it.  But It is not just human sin that ends - remember that satan and his angles fell probably eons before Adam and Eve.   They must be dealt with also.  The Revelation tells us that "the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown.  They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever."  Revelation 20:10  God will take care of satan, fallen angels and unrighteous man at the End.
 
The US is on a path to destruction.  It sure feels like we're there. When America falls there is no place else to go.  God has a timeline set - a date set for Judgement.  We could be days away.
 
Tucker Carlson said, 'No one is punished for lying.  People are only punished for telling the truth.'  Twitter banned Archbishop Vigano's account - trying to shut him up!  Wow!  Then reinstated his account.  Vigano wrote, "Because truth is an attribute of God, and darkness will never be able to overcome it.".."Let us therefore fight our battle against the enemy of mankind, in the certainty of the final victory and in the awareness of having at our side the One who has overcome the darkness:  'Walk as children of Light' (Eph 5,8)"
Archbishop Vigaṇ restored to Twitter after public outcry  - LifeSite
 
The righteous will also be spared the judgement.  Just like Noah and Lot.  We won't have an ark or angels to take us by the hand to guide us out, ours will be a 'snatching away' right after we are changed to immortal in the twinkling of an eye!
 
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
 
Maranatha!
