I really like David Cloud’s newsletters. He shoots it straight and doesn’t pull any punches. He got me thinking again with this one:
A WORLD UNDER DELUSION, WITHOUT EXCUSE, ON THE VERGE OF JUDGMENT (Friday Church News Notes, February 9, 2024, www.wayoflife.org, [email protected], 866-295-4143)
According to the Bible, the entire world totters on the very brink of eternal judgment. The good news of God’s gracious offer of salvation in Jesus Christ, a salvation that was purchased by the suffering and death of the very Son of God, has been proclaimed to the ends of the earth for 2,000 years; it has been translated into most languages; and it is available on the internet at the click of a mouse or the swipe of a smartphone. For the most part, it has been callously rejected. The law of God is written on man’s very conscience and will condemn him in the day of judgment (Romans 2:14-16). Man instinctively knows there is a God, and he knows that this God is a Holy Judge, and he tries to hide himself from that God as our forefather Adam did when he sinned.
The universe shouts out its infallible testimony to an Almighty Creator.
Psalm 19:1-4
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handiwork. … There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.
Romans 1:20
The invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.
2 Thessalonians 2 s a major Bible prophecy about the Antichrist. His coming and reign will be accompanied by global delusion, the cause of which is man’s willful rejection of God’s Word. This delusion is already happening, and it will be brought to perfection in the Great Tribulation, which is imminent. It is the only explanation for man’s stupidity in believing that everything came from nothing, that the utter chaos of a “big bang” produced a well-ordered universe, that life arose from non-life and intelligence from non-intelligence, that DNA has no maker, that light just happened, and that a hyper-complex amoeba popped into existence and then became a butterfly, an elephant, a man, and an oak tree.
Global delusion explains such things as the broad acceptance of transsexualism, the mutilation of brainwashed children, same-sex “marriage,” diapers on cows, the destruction of farming, sympathy for vicious terrorists, Marxist thugs, police killers, baby killers, shoplifting gangs, and drug-addled, indolent people encouraged to take over beautiful cities.
The following Bible prophecy explains these insanities and much more:
2 Thessalonians 2:8-12
And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; BECAUSE THEY RECEIVED NOT THE LOVE OF THE TRUTH, THAT THEY MIGHT BE SAVED. AND FOR THIS CAUSE GOD SHALL SEND THEM STRONG DELUSION, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned WHO BELIEVED NOT THE TRUTH, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
The hour is very, very late.
