The global culture devours the testimony of Jesus Christ. 

Joel 1:4

“What the chewing locust left, the swarming locust has eaten; What the swarming locust left, the crawling locust has eaten; And what the crawling locust left, the consuming locust has eaten.” Joel 1:4

The locusts are the swarms of people who comprise the global culture who are eating away at the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They come as a collective force against the fruit of the Holy Spirit within the human spirit. What the swarms of the global culture leave behind of the Spirit of Christ, then the individuals (crawling locusts) of the global culture continue to eat away at the fruit of the Spirit. Then the cycle repeats as the swarms of the masses of the global culture continue their attack, then once again individuals continue the consummation. God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit are under perpetual attack within the global culture of the beast.

The global government and its culture are consuming the fruit of the Spirit by the thing giving people what to think, feel, do, and say. It enables the image of the beast to live and speak through the swarms of the global culture and by what they say and do they continually consume the Spirit. People conform to the anti-Christian global culture as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

As the Spirit is consumed, the human conscience is replaced by the thing giving people what to feel and think. Traits of psychopathy fills the swarms of the global culture as they are egocentric to empower and exalt themselves above God. As they consume the Goodness of God and the Spirit of Christ, they feel no remorse, no guilt, and feel no need for the remission of sin through Jesus Christ. They oppose, ridicule, and manipulate the presence of the Holy Spirit as they detest the life of Holiness. The world fills with lawlessness and anti-social activity, with no empathy for others within their superficial charm.

Even today, we know Christian births are being exterminated, as written about in Revelation 12. That is happening under the implementation of the goals of the United Nations, which is the global government of the beast. The global government and its culture have authority in this world and overcomes Believers, as quoted, “It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation.” Revelation 13:7 The “him” in the verse above is the beast behind the image and mark of the beast which empowers the global government of the beast.

Today, it’s more than obvious that the swarms within the global culture have consumed what God has given us through Jesus Christ. The churches are no longer a light shining with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Government lawmakers no longer implement the values of the Bible in their policies. The educational system does not allow the teachings of the Bible in the classrooms. Christianity is not welcomed in any sector of society as a continual consummation of the fruit of the Spirit is happening. Any Baby Boomer can attest to how this has happened because we can compare today’s culture to the time when the Gospel of Christ had strong roots.

The swarms of today’s culture say that the USA was never established on God and Jesus Christ, but we Baby Boomers know better. We know churches are built on practically every street corner. The question to ask is, “If America was never a Christian nation, then where did all the churches come from?”

Daniel 7 describes how the fruit of the Holy Spirit are eaten up by the Four Beasts.

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
