I am not good at sharing these things.

When I read the Bible, much as anyone else, sometimes I see things in my mind, and sometimes I feel that these things come from God.

This last reading of Revelation put a few images in my mind, and the more I ponder on them, the more I realize it is probably true.

Keep in mind, that I am one of those who believes that any faithful Christian of any period of time can read Revelation and should think that the end times are just around the corner. We should all be living our lives every day as if it is our last, and that the Savior is going to return at any moment in our day.

That said, I can't help but compare the whore of all the earth in Revelation with the evil cabal that has been working behind the scenes, trafficking in women and children, waging countless wars, putting their sights on the things of this world that do not matter such as gold and fine clothing.

This group has likely been around for a very long time, and I am sure the early Christians were more than a little familiar with them, as they didn't have to operate as secretly as they have done recently.

I can't help but see Donald Trump whenever I read about a trump sounding. I can't help but feel like he is part of this plan, put in place at the ideal time to take the ideal actions to speed along the work of God and bring about the ultimate salvation of the earth and all those who will worship Christ.

That is all. I don't have anything specific, just a general sense that we are here in the end times, that we are witnessing things that John could only express through metaphor and allegory.

Follow Christ until the end. That is all we can do.

And I will not get the jab. If it means I have to starve to death, I will do so praising God that I can be counted worthy to be persecuted as our ancestors were for their witness.
