Regime Change

Regime change…civil war…nuclear war…no kings…forever wars. These words are being echoed across the globe in nations from the United States, to England, numerous Middle Eastern countries, Russia and the list continues. You may think this is new, but let’s face it…our world has ALWAYS been about power and changing the regime.

The past few months have been a prelude to desensitize and prepare the populace for what comes next. There is a line from the movie, Gladiator, where Russel Crowe’s character profoundly declares, “What we do in life, echoes in eternity.” Although I believe this is true, it is more profound to remember ‘What happens in eternity, echoes in life.’ In other words, our world is a manifestation of what happens in the spiritual, eternal world. What happens in heaven, plays out on the Earthly stage.

Our planet was originally cleaned up by the Creator as the result of an attempted regime change in heaven. If you’re a little rusty where the one true King dealt with the first attempted regime change, start reading in Isaiah 14:12. Our world has ALWAYS been about regime change. This HAS been a forever war focused on the attempt to usurp God’s reign, rule and power. It still is today.

Although (very soon) we will see more conflict than we have witnessed, read the Bible to understand the nature of the battle. The most prolific writer in the New Testament put it bluntly…’For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.’ Ephesians 6:12.

The spirit of anti-christ is the impetus behind the call for ‘no kings’ and regime change. The evil one has his hand in almost every attempt to cause disunity and disruption. Whether it’s a legitimate attempt to displace a despot or a grab for minerals, land or profit, you’ll find Satan stoking the fire and giving legitimacy to the chaos.

Keep your eyes open for the next installment in ‘wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains.’ Matthew 24;6-8. Have you been watching the ‘ring of fire’ coming alive with earthquakes across the globe? Do you know about the famine in Gaza?

Christians don’t need to be alarmed but we do need to be informed and awake. Make sure to stay in the Word so that you aren’t ignorant or anxious. ‘For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world….’ 2 Cor.10:3-5. The chaos and regime changes ahead require us to battle appropriately.

Get prayed up…stay prayed up…’for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.’ God is on His throne and Christ IS coming back….Soon
