‘A sword, a sword is drawn, polished for slaughter, for consuming, for flashing— ” Ezekiel 21:28b.

The sword that came against the lawless Ammonites was in the hand of the king of Babylon. Likewise, we see that the sword coming against the lawlessness of this world is presently in the hand of the World government and its global culture. However, the day is coming when the sword will be in the hand of Jesus Christ to destroy this present world system.

The sword of slaughter has been placed in the hand of the world government. It is polished and flashing against Israel and also against lawlessness. We are seeing how leaders on every level are speaking out against crime of all sorts. These are local leaders, state leaders, national leaders and global leaders. They continuously solicit the assistance of citizens in every city to come against bad behavior. Those citizens are part of the global culture that lives according to the entity that gives them what to do, say, feel, and think. They are not living by any type of righteousness through Jesus Christ, but they fight against any rebellious lawlessness that disturbs their community family. God is cutting off righteousness and wickedness from the world, as He said He would, “I will draw My sword out of its sheath and cut off both righteous and wicked from you.” Ezekiel21:3

As lawlessness is fought against without the righteousness of God, lawlessness ultimately increases to a level of creating global tribulation. This happens fully after the United Nations is established as the one world government. This eventually leads to the Battle of Armageddon and the Day of the Lord. We will rejoice at the return of Jesus Christ.

The entity that gives people what to think and feel has replaces the human spirit and conscience. The masses of the global culture are hardened against Jesus Christ as they become a collective force in fighting those who oppose them. The followers of Jesus are counted among the lawless ones, as quoted, “For I say to you that this which is written must still be accomplished in Me: ‘And He was numbered with the transgressors.’ For the things concerning Me have an end.” Luke 22:37 “There were also two others, criminals, led with Him to be put to death. And when they had come to the place called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on the right hand and the other on the left.” Luke 23:32-33 Jesus said that they would come against us in the same way that they came against Him.

The entity that gives people what to think and feel enlivens the image of the beast to live and speak through the masses in every city around the world. They are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do. While they say they are fighting against lawlessness, they oppose Christianity, detest belief in God, discards the need for the remission of sin through Jesus Christ, and oppress the presence of the Holy Spirit. God has His sword polished and ready to destroy them, along with all the lawlessness of this world. Meanwhile, now is the hour of the world government and its global culture, as quoted below,

“Then Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and the elders who had come to Him, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs? When I was with you daily in the temple, you did not try to seize Me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.” Luke 22:52-53

“….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, 3:11
