Christian Living in such uncertain times can be hard, difficult. Paul said these would be perilous times. For sure, we are there. Living today is perilous for many, especially those Christians facing persecution for their faith. But today there are Christians living in many nations that have never been persecuted for their faith. But now those same nations are turning against Christianity and persecuting the believers. Today, as never before, there is a need to understand what it means for a Christian Living in these Turbulent End Times.
“A Journey for those who investigate the Whirlwind of these Last Days! Bearing the Cross in the War of Ages where Faith is the Victory that overcomes the World.”
“By God’s grace, we endure from faith to faith; day to day and pass by from trouble to endurance to an overcomer!”
“Heralding the Truth of God’s’ Word!”“Life Expression in its simplest form is simply life in words” — The Watchman Dana G Smith

Christian Living Turbulent Endtimes
The bible speaks to the end of days and the natural disasters that will occur. What is more, while people may blame global warming, there is another cause. Isaiah 24 tells us that the earth has been covered with the curse. It is that curse which will govern and cause many of those things to occur at the end of days. It is judgment, it is a precursor to the coming of the Lord, and it is upon a world which has rejected the God of all Gods**see note at bottom.
Also in this context, let us remember in Revelation 11:18 there are those whom the Lord destroys at his coming which have destroyed the earth. Today forces are marshalling themselves to take possession of the earth and those in the earth. There will be those who will be directly held responsible for the annihilation and destruction which will hit the earth. In addition, natural disasters will continue; and much more; the scriptures say that it will occur and thus all will be fulfilled. Thus, it is a perilous day and age we live in.
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
Luke 21:25-26 | Christian Living Turbulent Endtimes
Therefore, Christian Living is indeed met with unsettled days and nights. With nutcase rulers like Kim Jong Un of North Korea shooting off missiles and issuing warnings; along with his propensity to warn the US, yes; these days are troubling. Troubling yet, but more so are those who like Kim who cannot be controlled and yet have no problem bringing down a nuclear reign of terror on the world.
There have always been rulers and groups like that. We see ISIS, Taliban, Boko Haram, Al Shabab, Al Qaeda, and many other Islamic groups who kill wantonly with no regard for the spilling of innocent blood. It all lies within their own boundaries of good and evil. Evil to these groups are unbelievers who do not agree completely with their beliefs. Good to these groups are murdering, raping, pillaging, and bringing bloodshed to the entire world. For their goal is worldwide domination by Islam. However, in all these things and more, as Christian believers we have over the world through Jesus Christ our Lord.
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
1st John 5:4-5;12-13 | Christian Living in Turbulent End Times
The fact of how divided and dangerous the world has become is backed up by the Quran and the goal of this worldwide domination by Islam. For them, there is no turning back. From the Sura we find the Christian truth in the same context they use to kill their enemies. In their teachings, the very ones these Islamic Jihadists take to heart is this statement regarding the Christian faith. The Sura says: “Christians say the Messiah is the son of Allah”! The Sura then says; “May Allah destroy them; how are they deluded” – From Sura 9:30.
However, Christianity is the truth! We follow him who is the Truth! In John 14:6, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the life; no man comes to the Father but by me.” Further in First John we read that “no lie is of the truth”! No matter how much you want a lie to be truthful, it cannot be truth. Christianity is the truth, no matter what Islam says, governments believe, and politicians do!
Further in these days the Apostle Paul warned us in second Thessalonians chapter two, that the world would reject the “love of the truth”! This Love is the Gospel, the Father who loved us, and the Son who loved the Father and us; proving it by dying on the cross for our sins and for all who would believe. We are justified not by a lie, but by truth and the sacrifice of Christ on the cross. We are justified by God’s grace flowing out of his mercy, in whom we believe by faith on the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ on the cross.
When we like faithful Abraham “believe God” [it was Imputed unto him for righteousness’ sake], so too; we “believe God sent the Son. Thus, righteousness is imputed to us as well through Jesus Christ. It was the Son of God who died for us, was in the ground three days, resurrected from the dead, seen alive by many infallible proofs, and then he left instructions for the Apostles. After which he ascended to the right hand of the Father where he ever liveth to make intercession for the Saints according to the will of God.
He is coming back soon, and it is in him that we trust. This is war in the last days and Satan will stop at nothing to get Christians to stop believing, to destroy all other Christians who will not fall from the truth of the gospel, and to deceive a world bent on rejecting the True and living God.
I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
1Jn 2:21-26 | Christian Living in Turbulent End Times
There are those who seduce you Christian, just as they are doing it worldwide. Satan has human principalities either loyal to him or deceived because of him. They are in the UN, the US government, and NATO, Iran, and all the government seats of the world. He has flesh, human beings who are deceived and serving his will. He also has those who openly follow Satanism and the light of Lucifer. The goal of these people is to overthrow the God of Gods and his Son Jesus [Yeshua] Christ.
However, it is also true that these things were written about. We were warned that the world would reject the followers of Jesus Christ. The world is enmity against God, or at odds with everything he is. The world cannot know this God, except through Jesus Christ. As a result, we have and always have had other gods and other religions in the world. For the Christian, the war we are in today will not let up. Being a pacifist* and a Christian sitting on the fence will not help.
We are in a global war, but unlike the wars we see fought in the world today; our war and battles are not with guns and bullets. Although our enemies fight with them, our tools are “spirit and they are life”. We bring the power of the Spirit of God, the truth of God’s Word, and the fact that through Christ Jesus signs and wonders follow.
The challenges to Christianity will not end any time soon. When Christ comes, then it will end with his rule. As he arrives on the world stage, he will end the “times of the Gentiles” and bring in the rule of the Messiah, the Greater Son of David. This will be during the Millennial reign of Christ. Until that time, the gospel and the testimony of the believers will go forth. The devil cannot stop the witness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It will go on until the witness has reached the entire world.
It is not about converting the world per se; it is about the witness of our God. We are that witness and light and we must speak that truth in love to a world hell bent on killing the truth. The world in the end will worship the beast of Revelation 13. For all who are not written in the Lambs book of life will take that mark and worship the beast. This is the battle and you as Christian are here for a reason.
- You cannot stop what is going on.
- You cannot stop what must be fulfilled in Scripture.
- You cannot stop believing.
- You must have faith, which is the only way to please God!
Without faith, you cannot please God. If you come to God, you must believe that he is and that he exists. If you don’t believe that God exists, no matter how hard you try; you will not find him. You and all those who come to the Lord God our Father through Jesus Christ must possess faith. You must believe that he is and that he exists. With this you believe that in the world today with all its troubles this God will look down upon you in favor. Why?
Because you believe he exists. Because you believe in his Son Jesus Christ and the sacrificial atonement work on the cross. Because God is true and cannot lie. Because he says that as you do believe that he is and you do diligently seek him; then he will reward you. Your reward is answering the request you ask of him. You must believe every day that God will give you favor through Christ Jesus and that he will make a way for you and your family. You must believe that upon pain of death, he will never leave you nor forsake you. For we have overcome by the “blood of the Lamb, the word of our testimony, and we love not our lives unto the death” Revelation 12:11!
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Christian Living in Turbulent End Times Heb 11:6
Furthermore, as Christian believers; or the remnant as I call them, we must be persuaded. Just like the early pioneers of faith mentioned in Hebrews chapter 11. They believed in the promises but died in faith. They did not see them fulfilled but saw them afar off. They became persuaded by them, embracing them. In all this, they saw a better world and a better day when Jesus Christ would rule to the glory of the Father. Thus, they became convinced that in fact, they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. They believed that one day, their faith would be fully and finally realized. Together, though we all embrace the faith and the coming millennial reign of Jesus Christ and his kingdom.
These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
Hebrews 11:13-16Christian Living in Turbulent End Times
Today as believers, we must catch this same vision. We must desire that better country, one where our Lord God and Father and our Savior Jesus Christ is. We must see that heavenly reward and the city of God. What is more, we will inherit the earth! Even more, the tabernacle of God is with men today through Jesus Christ and the supply of his Spirit. This is but a precursor to what is really going to occur. Gods throne and his tabernacle in heaven will also be with men. We will be his sons and daughters and he will be our God. We will not be ashamed on that day when we see him!
Know this, we must be in faith believing God. Scripture says, “Whatsoever is not of faith is sin”! If you are in doubt, fear, or anxiety; then you are not in faith. It is sin, sin once conceived brings death. But when we find sin in our lives as Christians, we confess it and forsake it. We may not know all the deep secrets of the Lord. We may not understand all prophecies. We may not know every minute detail as to how this will all work out. We may not like the end of days, the sin, and those who reject our Lord and Savior. But we can live in faith believing. We can Trust Him who saved us. God has not given us a “Spirit of fear, but of Love, power, and a sound mind”.
Whatsoever is not of faith is sin
Romans 14:23b
Purpose to open the door of tomorrow by faith and not fear. Don’t let fear come near. Rebuke it in Jesus Name, bind that spirit of fear in Jesus Name, and speak faith. Live for Him who died for you and all those who will trust in him.
Notes:
Pacifist* we are not speaking directly here of those individuals who will not fight in wars to kill others. We are speaking of Christians who will not engage to defend our God and Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. We use the tools the Lord has given us to stand up, defend, testify, and reject the morals and lies of the world.
God of all Gods** here in this context we speak directly of the God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; the great and mighty God, even our Father who sent his only begotten Son to die upon the cross, making an atonement for sins. Also, in this context of the “curse”, we find that which began at the fall of Adam and Eve, today has taken over or devoured the entire earth. As a result, it is the direct cause of natural disasters on the earth. Also in this context, let us remember in Revelation 11:18 there are those whom the Lord destroys at his coming which have destroyed the earth.
