The global culture resembles a war machine

Joel 2:4-6

 Global culture is a war machine by their masses and their military. “Their appearance is like the appearance of horses; And like swift steeds, so they run. With a noise like chariots over mountaintops they leap, like the noise of a flaming fire that devours the stubble, like a strong people set in battle array.” Joel 2:4-5

The strength of the global culture is evident in our cities today, and its attitude and spirit proclaim, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” Revelation 13:4 Across the world, there are countless people overcoming mountains as they overcome all obstacles in establishing the government and culture of the beast. They consume their critics like fire consuming stubble. They use their empowerment of extraordinary knowledge, intuition, authority, abilities, skills, etc. to dominate and manipulate those who resist them. They feel no guilt or remorse in the process. They are the warriors riding on stallions while the followers of Christ are clothed in humility riding on a donkey.

The United States of America is facing a strong pressure to ban gun ownership and to remove the Second Amendment (the right to own and carry guns) from its Constitution. This is a clear objective of the United Nations. The USA has never experienced such a high level of gun violence as it does today. It seems that the surge in gun violence is being exploited to manipulate the USA constitution and to abolish the right to gun ownership. It is appalling to witness how gun violence is provoked and tolerated until people are willing to comply with the agenda of the United Nations.

The implication is that human lives have little value for those who only care about imposing a one world government. It suggests that the global culture is becoming a place where only the global government has access to guns. It raises the question, “Whom will they shoot?” It also describes how they will do whatever comes to their mind to do.

The Holy Spirit guides us as we follow Christ, “‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of Hosts.” Zechariah 4:6 The Holy Spirit reminds us to put on the armor of God., as described in Ephesians 6:20.

Those who resist or defy the authority of the global culture suffer pain. “Before them the people writhe in pain; All faces are drained of color.” Joel 2:6

A global culture that disregards human conscience, guilt and remorse, and only pursues its own egocentric aims dominates the world. It delights in the suffering and despair of those who resist its influence and do not conform to its standards. This is the challenge and the reality that the followers of Jesus Christ face and endure.

The global culture lives by the thing giving them what to feel, think, do, and say. It allows the image of the beast to live and speak through them. It has no connection to the Spirit and is entirely unspiritual. People conform to the anti-Christian global culture and lose their empathy, mercy, grace, and love. They are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

“….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.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:1
