Here is my opinion based on everything going down since Qs arrival.. feel free to dispute whatever you see fit.
First big awakening: expose child and human trafficking.
Second big awakening: expose pharmaceutical agenda (COVID).
Third big awakening: expose financial/industrial/war agenda.
This has ALL come mainstream since 2017 folks.
Go watch documentaries on Carl Icahn for more info on financial. He has been exposing CEOs for years.
The above info introduces my next question: Is the GREAT awakening something even bigger than the previous couple of "big" ones? Are we yet to see even more huge awakenings?
Edited* Edited again for a saint Is the Great Awakening when we collectively realize we are ALL gods? Those who are good all together in unison.
Im excited either way anons.
NCSWIC. o7 to all of you.
OK. It's a worthwhile point. I get what you are saying I think.
(I just think your example was a bit skewed! It took a much longer process to free the Israelites than one, three or even 40 days!!!)
But yes, things can look dark one minute and then be changed dramatically and miraculously the next!!! Like the Pharaoh bearing down on the Israelites one minute and then being crushed by the Red Sea the next, as you say. That's a good example! So keep faith!!!
On the 40 years thing, I am sure there are many different views about that was going on there.
My understanding is that God requires people to fulfill certain conditions in order to be able to bestow his blessing. If God simply gave his blessings without any condition on the part of the recipient, a) it would have no really value and b) Satan could just as easily claim the blessing as well.
The condition represents fulfillment of our responsibility. Our responsibility is a factor built in to our reaching maturity and fulfilling God's purpose for us.
Example: Adam and Eve had the responsibility to keep faith in God's commandment not to eat the fruit. Tragically, they failed so that "In Adam all die".
A command is God's word. God requires us to keep faith in His word in order to fulfill that condition to enable Him to Bless us.
Example: the condition we must make in order to receive the grace (blessing) of salvation is faith. We cannot be saved by the blood of the cross without faith in Jesus and salvation through the cross.
For the Israelites to qualify to enter into Canaan after having left Egypt, they needed to have faith in Moses as God's representative for a specific period of time. Very quickly, they failed. While Moses was on the mount receiving God's word for the Israelites in the form of the 10 commandments (setting his own condition of faith for 40 days), the Israelites needed to maintain their own faith in him. When they got Aaron to make the golden calf and they worshipped it, they lost faith in Moses (and God) and failed. Moreover, Moses himself even destroyed the 2 tablets (which represented Jesus and the Holy Spirit) in anger by losing his temper.
So, he had to make a completely new condition of keeping faith (fasting) for 40 days on the mount in order to receive the grace of the two tablets (the Word) again.
Time and time again, the Israelites lost faith during the journey to Canaan, and the journey time was extended eventually to 40 years! It less than 500 miles from Egypt to Canaan, and by walking, they could certainly have covered the distance in a 3 or 4 weeks. But, they failed in their faith again and again, until finally, the 2nd generation united with Joshua and Caleb in faith (Joshua and Caleb maintained their faith in God for the 40 days of spying in Canaan), and finally qualified to receive the blessing of entering Canaan.
(Moving from Egypt to Canaan symbolized leaving the Satanic world under Satan's dominion and entering the Godly world under God's governance. Through salvation of the cross, we move from the spiritual realm under Satan's dominion into the spiritual realm of God's governance.)
The recurrence of the numbers like 12, 40 etc, in their course is because there is a numerical period required in the process of growing or fulfilling responsibility. Just like there is a specific numerical period of time required for a person to reach adulthood, or a tree to mature and bear fruit. That's part of the structure of God's creation.
I'm guessing you have a different understanding of the why and the what, but that's my understanding, anyway.
Exactly! This is the key condition that God requires in order to bestow on us the blessing of spiritual salvation. However, I put to you that in the last days (where we are, imo) more than mere faith is required. What is required now is unity with God's direction in substance.
It's no good if someone professes to be Christian or to believe in Jesus if they unite with the Satanic agenda, and promote LGBTQI in their church, or push the injection globalist narrative, for example.
"In the last days the sun and the moon will be darkened" means that the beacon that faith is up until the last days will be superseded by the need to unite with Christ in substance, and if CHrist's purpose is to destroy the Satanic sovereignty and restore God's sovereignty over the Earth in the Last Days, unity with that is what will shine (imo).
IOW, in the last days, the condition required is substantial action in UNITY with God's purpose, not simply faith in that purpose. That's why Jesus predicted that "Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’"
How is this possible? Because from the time of the crucifiction until the end times, faith is the main condition in order to receive the grace and blessing. But in the end times, unity with God's purpose (aka "the will of My Father in Heaven") will become necessary too. Do you see what I mean?
What is God's will today? It is the destruction of the Satanic ruling system.
We are on the cusp of entering into the REAL Canaan. On the cusp of entering the REAL Kingdom. Not symbolically, and not just spiritually (where we have been for the last 2000 years), but in substance. Satan's system of dominion over the Earth is being exposed and destroyed, and God's governance over the Earth is being realized in actual substance, right here, right now. We are a blessed generation.
Hope the above makes some sense to you. You don't need to agree with it all (some of it may well seem very different from what you've known over the years), but hopefully it's thought provoking.
Can you share a bit what you think about that? What is the major lesson to be learned, do you think?
Wow, thank you for this response! I am in complete agreement with how you explained faith and how that is what is needed to receive God's blessing. I'm sorry I don't quite have the time to give as much as a detailed response. But everything you mentioned I definitely agree with.
The only difference is that I no longer think we are in the final end days. (This term is tricky because yes we are technically in the "end days", but I don't think this is the great tribulation. That is soon, but not now (imo). I used to think it was now, but certain things don't quite add up yet. The biggest one being the church is not ready for Christ's return. (Church meaning Christ's body, not the fake religions claiming to be Christians today). I think we are about to enter into the greatest revival in history. The deep state (under satan's influence) tried to quicken the one world government timeline, but failed, and failed miserably. It's been funny to me to see their desperate attempts to salvage it. However, they pushed it too far and more and more people are waking up to their craziness. It seems to me that we are going to see the wheat separated from the chaff. Too many in the church are deceived by religion. In confession, I was one of them not too long ago. I went to a high school where the priests molested the students there. Looking back there was satanic influence there too, I just didn't understand it at the time (the property used to be owned by the DuPonts). It made me think the church and religion was made up by man to control and exploit people. I still believed in a higher power, but thought men in power hid the truth and is what led me to turn away for a season. And in truth, that is true about religion, (to an extent) but not about Christ. I lost my way because I did not have good leadership as well as wanting to pursue my own desires (I don't want to put total blame on others, I am guilty as well). The only reason I am here is because Christ pretty much slapped me awake one night back in January 2021 haha (that testimony is a whole other story lol). But I still know many that are stuck in the same place I was. Those of us God chose to awaken are the elect to help guide those back to Christ and the truth during the "happening" as we call it here lol (for both "fake" believer and non believer). I think we are about to see many miracles take place that will no longer allow people to be luke warm in their faith. This will be the first time in many generations that the church will truly be walking with Christ and will gain momentum and more true believers. However, not all will want that and won't repent. Their hearts will grow harder. Some people just don't want to be submissive to God, they want to be their own gods and will chase after satan and his antichirst because it allows them to keep their desires of the flesh. And that is where we enter the great tribulation (again, this is just my opinion). As the church grows stronger the true one world government will be building as well, and are furious at us Christians. Now what is the tipping point? I am still praying on that and am not sure. Could be the church is no longer on earth and that allows them to gain total power (could be rapture, could be that we are attacked and killed off), could be many lose faith and go back to their old ways after another generation (like in Nineveh). I can't even give an educated guess at this point or timeline. I just feel in every ounce of my soul that we will see something like a 21st century "Red Sea moment", but on a global level. This time from the deep state and across many nations. Only God knows how that will happen. And I think it will happen fast, we are just waiting on Him to lay down that final hammer at this point. I do expect things to "appear" worse at first, but that is still the media trying to control the masses with fear. It will take faith and those of us awake to come together to keep each other accountable and be ready to be the light to help guide others home. (Turning our coin into many-referring to the parable) Please let me know what you think! and to challenge any of these ideas. I just want to keep true to God and His plan, whatever that may be.
