A House Divided?

Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.

Ukraine, where are they? They are certainly not connected with the Russian government, and they are certainly not connected with NATO nor the European Union. So, who is the “strong man” to be bound for the invasion to incur? The only strongman I see are the economic powerhouses that make up the New World Order. The global order has their hands tied?! Ukraine is being violently pulverized by force as the imposed economic sanctions are sending ripples around the world. The Ripples? The economic and food shortage ripples. The world is being asked to learn to exist on moderation, cutbacks, and a new era of supply scarcity.

Many of us, within the new world, feel beat down, traumatized, outnumbered, as we live on scarce resources, scarce social interactions, and living a minimalist lifestyle. We rely on the grace of Jesus who gives us the promise of peace, joy, and a family in the kingdom of heaven. “In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” John 14:2-3

Is the New Global Order really divided against itself? Or is Ukraine being forced to sacrifice their independence? In a global order, there cannot be outliers who believe that one nation is a better form of government than another. One thing for sure, after this military assault, Ukraine will be more aligned with the New World Order than they have ever been before! For those of us who choose Jesus, we know that in the kingdom of heaven we are all as one. “So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. Galatians 3:26-29

Meanwhile, the push goes forward to establish clean energy and to be more economically and agriculturally frugal on a world scale. The agenda of the New World Order not only perseveres through the pounding that Ukraine is taking, but it is accelerating! Even crypto-currency is highlighted through the crisis in Ukraine. Sitting on the sidelines I can watch and pray, which is exactly what Jesus asks us to do, “Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching. Assuredly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, and will come and serve them. And if he should come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” Luke 12:37-40

“But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. Or how can one enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house. He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.” Matthew 12:22-30
