Why do you think our elites are always playing dangerous with world events that "coincidentally" line up with widely held interpretations of Biblical prophetic scripture (at least in evangelical Protestant circles)? I am thinking here of Iran, Russia, China, Israel, and well-established futurist interpretations of Ezekiel 38-39, and the obvious attempts to set up some type of "mark"/chip for buying and selling, as outlined in Revelation 13. Is this just a "coincidence," done coincidentally by people who do not read or believe in the Bible? Or, are our elites doing this deliberately, to provoke or gain passive consent for their actions from America's large Christian population? (Because why interfere with "their" actions if it is all in God's hands, in fulfillment of Scripture.). Or, are our elites actually so reprobate and darkened in Spirit, as Paul described in Ephesians, that God is allowing them to carry these things out in fulfillment of prophecy? After reading through some of the Epstein files, I am convinced it is the final option that is occurring. Any thoughts on this?
"God’s knowledge of the future is important because it is a fundamental aspect of his character and a foundation of prophecy. In Isaiah 41, God claims that he alone is in control of world history (41:1–20).
God uses prophecy again in the New Testament for this same reason, to prove that he is who he says he is. "
Scripture clearly presents God as knowing the future exhaustively.
Understood. Do you view what is happening right now with Iran, as potentially relating or fulfilling commonly held futurist interpretations of Ezekiel 38-39? Or do you not even go there, leaving such things as the timing of prophecy to God, because it is too mysterious to comprehend?
i don't really wrack my brain with that stuff, because it's unclear...and rather focus on some of the more core obvious stuff (e.g. like the move toward totalitarian world state)...but I think as we approach certain events, it becomes clearer...for example all this peace stuff Trump is doing in the MidEast...if things go a certain way...then I think for many of us it'll become obvious
Hrvoje... is the word you're looking for "insurgency/counter-insurgency"?
What Mike says about people, and that "it's comfortable to be a slouch with technocracy"... I think the operative word is "comfortable"... as comfort so often leads to "complacency"... and complacency is "laziness" with a silver spoon in its mouth... "self-realiance" takes planning and hard work... so there you have it.
In Sir Francis Bacon's 'New Atlantis'... the main premise is "the conquest of nature"... human nature specifically... and yes, we're seeing that unfold in the human psyche... a willful surrender of one's own nature.
Maybe, those who follow Jesus, should go and READ the entire chapter of Revelation 13. “The mark” is about worship. What are you focused on? (in your forehead) What are you doing? (in your right hand).
Revelation 13 15-18 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not WORSHIP the image of the beast should be killed.
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

i take the traditional view:
"God’s knowledge of the future is important because it is a fundamental aspect of his character and a foundation of prophecy. In Isaiah 41, God claims that he alone is in control of world history (41:1–20).
God uses prophecy again in the New Testament for this same reason, to prove that he is who he says he is. "

Yes indeed. I am pretty much of similar mind. Really enjoy listening to all three of you, and your musings. Keep doing what you are doing. God bless.
