War, and the Coming Messiah
Excerpt from Looking Through the Sea of Glass
“A man may hide from himself, and yet he cannot hide himself from God.” William Secker (d.1681?)
“Now when Solomon finished praying the fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of Adonai filled the House. The kohanim could not enter into the House of Adonai because the glory of Adonai filled the House of Adonai.” (2 Chronicles 7:1-2, TLV)
(Kohanim=priests) (House=temple)
War-weary Christians have forgotten that our battles are fought on our knees in prayer and we have to have the correct armament to fight the devil and his minions. If we are constantly fighting our battles with our flesh, then we will wear down quickly and have nothing left for Messiah Jesus. Society has determined that everything is centered on electronic devices that have one purpose in mind, that is, to thwart mankind into the schemes and traps of Satan, who uses the devices to keep us busy with irrational judgments.
Christians have found themselves so war-weary with wars on every front with every neighborhood and country that there is nowhere to run or hide. Just stepping out of your door every day has become a battle zone for most people though-out the world. If you are not of God then, you are battling the Saints; if you are battling the Saints then, you are a demonized person, with one thing on your mind to destroy all Christians, Jews/Messianic Jews. The weak fence-sitting Christians, who have not fully given their hearts to Jesus Christ, sit in church and pretend they are listening to the word of God. They pretend to be slain in the spirit or fall out and wail all for a show. This performance level of spirituality is known as “I got my praise on” is a display for the audience. It is befitting to praise God and actually feels the Holy Spirit, but to announce to your friends, that the spectacle was a show is a demonized spirit. If you don’t announce that you “got your praise on”, but you display the same hateful person in the flesh - when you leave the worship service is evidence that performance you gave in worship service was an act. God knows it and you know it and that is a huge sin in Messiah Yeshua’s eyes. The fence-sitting Christian will say and perform the entire Christian-ease lingo, yet their heart is bent on evil. Just as soon as the service is over or before they leave the church they are talking about someone, not speaking to people, rude by pushing to get out of a church, or speaking out loud - to discredit a person all for what? Just to be a wicked selfish person not knowing their soul is headed to Hell.

Does war ever really end? The story of Cain and Abel in the Bible shows that conflict has always been part of human history.
Why is that? It goes back to the sin that began in the Garden of Eden, when Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating the forbidden fruit. Because of this, people have faced constant struggles within themselves and with others, and this will continue until the Messiah comes to bring peace, establish His perfect kingdom on Earth, and reign in Heaven.
However, Jesus the Messiah is patiently awaiting humanity’s recognition of Him as the Son of Man, the perfect Son of El Shaddai, God Almighty. Once we offer Him our honor, praise, and glorification, He will return. We all eagerly anticipate Jesus—Yeshua—coming to take His church home. Sadly, I believe many are unprepared for Jesus' arrival, and when He arrives, only a faithful remnant will be taken. This idea of a faithful remnant is clearly highlighted throughout both the Old and New Testaments.
So, we need to get ready by truly repenting, following God's Word, and honoring the Son of Man. When we do this, we align ourselves with His will, and the Messiah will return quickly. Let's stay alert and prepared, because He could come at any time.
