What an excellent message that everyone who calls themselves a Christian should watch!
Nearly 300 years ago, the Irish philosopher Edmund Burke made the well-known statement, “Those who don’t know history are destined to repeat it.” In Bible times, the ancients believed the earth was flat and if you moved too far in one direction, you would fall off. However, four centuries ago, Copernicus published a book challenging this belief presenting the theory that Earth was a sphere rotating around the sun. The Catholic Church held their interpretation of Scripture could not be disputed, so the idea the earth was not flat was considered heresy.
100 years after Copernicus, the Church had still not changed its position and was trying to squelch any thoughts opposing its view. The Church ordered Galileo to trial because he was sharing these alternate views. Galileo’s “heresy” cost him dearly.
The Church used its political and religious power to censor Galileo’s printed materials. Just in case another scientist might begin publicizing these offensive views, the Church ordered Galileo’s sentence be widely publicized in scientific circles.
Amazingly, these elements exist in society today as they did four centuries ago. At the time of Galileo, the Church controlled the proliferation of political and religious thought. Today, technology, media, and government conspire to accomplish a similar objective. Secularism is now a religion for the institutions whose goal is to control access to information, our beliefs, and our God-given right to make personal decisions.
So many examples of this abound.
The media, educational systems, information technology sectors, colluding with government, have manipulated and controlled information, so only “correct” information is shared.
Years ago, people used to meet in the town square and openly discuss all sides of an issue. A person could then consider all alternatives and make their own informed decision. Today, this is not allowed.
Entities are blatantly stifling news or discussion about election fraud, vaccinations, science, BLM, Critical Race Theory, racism, transgenderism, the whole LGBTQ arena, and enduring moral values.
If God’s select servants, the 144,00 appeared today, their message that “the world is deep in the pit of sin,” as demonstrated by the rampant homosexuality, transgenderism, and moral depravity throughout society, would be restricted. Like the Catholic Church of old, today, self-righteous individuals would call them misogynists, bigots, racists, sexists, or homophobes.
Every attempt would be made to cancel them and eliminate them from any public forum so their message could not be heard.
I used to believe the first four Trumpets of Rev 8 were designed to break down religious barriers so people would consider a message counter to their church’s. However, today even larger barriers exist throughout society. The Trumpets will have to sound to create an environment in which the 144,000 can share their God-given message despite religious and secular barriers.
Lord, help us stand for truth in the world today that we may not be among the “cowardly.”
