Once upon a time, in the not too distant past, a number of people with a lot power sitting in room were almost giddy seeing the toppling of certain leaders in the Mideast. Whether or not Twitter played a major role maybe debatable [1] but the fact that it played a role is not in dispute. This was a smart move except those who planned it were so arrogant that they thought it would not boomerang. It did [2]. They are not laughing now.
They were proud. They thought they were smart, smarter than anybody in the world. They were full of themselves. After all, they beat their political opponents and won elections, and they had their followers. They were too blind to realize that a sword has two edges, and it cuts both ways. They were blind too to the teachings of Christ.
Instead of loving thy enemy [3], they wanted to dominate the world by destabilizing the existing social order, to change regimes, so that they would appear strong, not that they are strong. The only way to become strong is to win an enemy's respect. That, they have not done, nor have they decimated all their enemies, not even one of the least militarily equipped with modern weaponry.
Many will disagree that loving ISIL is not the answer because loving one's enemy is not easy to do, that Christ was wrong given what is occurring in Syria and Iraq [citations omitted], Egypt and Libya [4]. Looking at the same facts, they would have to agree that Satan is winning.
Satan has a plan to destroy humanity. It uses those in power to cause death and destruction. When one part of the world is chaotic, It creates another chaos in another part and turns it into an inferno.
God has not lost, however. Heaven is bit by bit fulfilling the promises made in the Book of Revelations [5]. It seems like the fourth seal had already been broken, with killing by sword [6], famine in Somalia [7], plague in northern China and Colorado, United States [8], and while AIDS is not yet over, ebola [9] (the wild beast in this case is microscopic) is here.
Until everything that is happening gets much worse and picks up the pace as it worsens, nobody will believe that the end has begun.
It is not easy to repent and not relapse, but that does not mean repentance is a waste of time. The cleaner the soul, the easier the path to Heaven. Some souls maybe corrupted beyond salvation. There is a place for them too. Still, mercy is continuously hopeful until it is extinguished.
Pray for all, and be at peace.
