"The Lord is King forever and ever; the nations have perished out of His land." (Psalm 10:16)
I have considered going to the inauguration on January 20. If you will go, let me know; details will come later. Most of the reprobate organizations in the United States of America are preparing to participate in "marches" on January 21 in Washington, DC, and at other "sister" marches around the country. It is reported that Planned Parenthood (code for: murder babies who upset your life style) is coordinating the efforts; no surprise here. These marches are an "inauguration" of desired anarchy in the US.
America could be on the verge of an abyss. There are Antichrist forces in America today which are unlike forces which have manifested before. Our text has been a basis of a prayer of mine ever since I was praying on the streets of Berlin over 18 years ago: Drive out those who are trying to usurp Your Authority in_______ (fill in the blank). I have no doubt that there has been a degree in which this prayer has been answered in the recent American Election. If you take a look a world history, you will see that Jesus has done this time and again. Now I may be overstating the global war in which Planet Earth is involved; I really hope and pray so. But the text, "In the last days evil men will go from bad to worse," just keeps looming over everything we are witnessing around the Globe.
Some people don't read the Bible for the same reason they only read a book once or watch a movie once. They think they have gleaned everything from it in one reading/viewing. There are a few movies which I have seen several times, and I always see or hear something I did not notice before. This is certainly true of the Bible. As you and I grow, as life events change from month to month and year to year, passages in the Bible which you and I have "blown by" before and could not comprehend, all of a sudden are a "headline of today's events." This is true not only of world events, but also of our personal lives.
Yesterday was the beginning of 2017 in the Gregorian Calendar, which is less than 500 years old, and Teves-Sh'vat 5777 on the Hebrew Calendar. "The Eternal One," however, is not bound by dates, geography nor "the best laid plans of mice and men." Each passing day brings us closer to the close of "the age." Maybe last year was a "good one" for you or a "bad one." But this does not change the unfolding plans of King Jesus. I repeat Graham's statement of decades ago, "History is headed towards a dramatic climax." We may be on Earth when Jesus makes His Second Appearing, or we may be of, "the dead in Christ." Regardless, in the midst of personal trials and global upheaval is the Church, proclaiming Jesus Christ, serving Jesus Christ, praising "Father, Son, and Holy Ghost," and, "....looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people...."
Father, in Jesus' Name, Drive out those who are trying to usurp Your Authority. Amen.

When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
