Drugging up for Tribulation

 Drugging up for Tribulation – Terry James - https://terryjamesprophecyline.com/2023/10/08/drugging-up-for-tribulation/ One of the strongest indicators of the approach of the Tribulation can be found in looking at things going on today through the prism of the following Scripture: Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts. (Revelation 9:21) A single element is most often found at the center of these wicked activities today. The ignition point of these things God says people won’t repent of, seems to me, is wrappedup in the word “sorceries.” The word “sorcery” is translated from the Greek pharmakeia (Strong’s G5331, KJV). The definition includes, as part of its scope of evil, the matter of witchcraft. It is usedin God’s prophetic Word as reason for destruction of that city of global influence—the city and the worldwide system called “Babylon the Great”: And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants werethe great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. (Revelation 18:23) The most profound evil of this great city and its global influence is found in the condemnation: “for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.” Can we agree that deception permeates every aspect of our society and culture today here in America? And can we agree that the fact that we derive the word for “drugs” frompharmakeia lends credence to the charge that this nation is at the center of the stage being set for the Tribulation to come? Our borders have been leveraged fully open at our southern most parts. The drugs are pouring through the openings by carriers, many of whom are drug cartel members involvedin human trafficking and even trafficking of children for sexual wickedness. Our nation, through an explosive illegal drug eruption, is deceiving the world with its transport capability to infuse many people with mind-altering drugs. Through America’s “sorceries,” “all nations [are] deceived.” One writer of interest observed: We are not now in the 7-year Tribulation Period. But again, many present-day developments are already setting the stage for Daniel’s 70th week. Cartoons, TV shows, movies,and books (ex: Harry Potter) are laying the foundation for a world deceived by the occult. Cannabis, ketamine, speed and other so-called “soft drugs” are becoming mainstream. The world is being conditioned to accept that which the Lord clearly forbids. Thisincludes the widespread use of (experimental) drugs. (“The Rich and their Pharmakeia,” Thomas, R. L., 1995, Revelation 8–22: An Exegetical Commentary, Chicago: Moody Press) Even more concerning than our nation infecting the entire world with our sorceries and all of the other evils Revelation warns will bring devastating judgment are the effectsthe drug madness is inflicting here at home: A Fairfield father says that a federally funded health clinic operating within Lawrence High School provided his minor daughter with a baggy of prescription anti-depressantswithout his knowledge or consent. When the girl’s father, Eric Sack, discovered the baggy of pills over the weekend, his daughter told him that it was provided to her by the Bulldog Health Center, a SchoolBased Health Center (SBHC) at Lawrence High School. Sack saw the pills as an infringement on his parental rights, but he was also concerned that the school’s clinic sent unlabeled drugs with no child-resistant container intohis home, where his two other younger children also live… Sack pulled his daughter out of the public school this week to make her appointments with a doctor and a therapist. “I’m looking out for the best interests of my daughter. That’s why I pulled her out of school,” said Sack. “Because I don’t think she really ought to be there if they’re goingto start giving her pills, you know? Until I sit down with a doctor that I pick for my daughter, not through the school.”… On Thursday, an agent from Child Protective Services (CPS) called Sack and informed him that he would be arriving shortly to make a surprise visit to his home to conduct achild welfare investigation… “They called and said it was an emergency situation at my house, that I was pretty near holding my daughter hostage, is what the gentleman that came yesterday told me,” Sacksaid. “He had information that only the school and Bulldog Health Center had,” he said. For three hours, CPS Agent Dylan Wood grilled Sack and his family individually and as a group, including asking questions about Sack’s firearms and where he keeps them. (“MaineDad Says High School Clinic Sent 17-Year-Old Daughter Home with Secret Baggy of Zoloft, Sicced Child Protective Services on Him for Complaining,” Steve Robinson, The Maine Wire, RR News, September 28, 2023) The above deception by secretly sending this girl home with drugs is bad enough, but stories abound of fentanyl being made available in various forms, and that is the evendeadlier form of evil being perpetrated by the drug lords. Thousands of young people and children are dying so the wicked merchants of earth can make their millions and even billions of dollars. All of this is preparing the stage for the coming of Antichrist’s regime and all-out satanic assault upon the people left behind to go through that horrendous era called Daniel’sseventieth week and the Tribulation. You don’t want to be here during the time Jesus said will be the worst of all human history. Here is how to avoid being trapped on this drug-saturated, judgment-bound planetwhen the Rapture occurs: That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the lord Jesus Christ, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with theheart man believeth unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10:9–10)
