Spiritual darkness is embraced as they say God has forsaken the earth. 

Ezekiel 8:12

“Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, the Lord seeth us not; the Lord hath forsaken the earth.” Ezekiel 8:12

Today, the Jewish people are living in darkness because they reject Jesus Christ. Jesus is the light of this world who shines into dark places to reveal sin. Through Jesus Christ, we are able to see our need for the remission of sin and to receive the Holy Spirit. The Jewish people must feel abandoned by God, as if He does not see, but through Jesus Christ, and Him only, do we have the Comforter, the Holy Spirit. “And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.” John 14:16-18

We live in a world that loves the darkness more than light, a world that has no awareness that God sees, and the populations are led to believe this earth has been forsaken of the existence of a living God. They seduce the masses of people to live within their own chambers of imagery to live according to the will of the entity that governs through thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors.

“The phrase “…every man in the chambers of his imagery…” lets us know that each individual is given a role to fulfill within the global culture. These roles are accomplished as the image of the beast lives and speaks through individuals by the entity giving them what to say, do, feel, and think. By what they say and do, each person is given their place in society as they are groomed to the mark of the beast.

As followers of Jesus Christ, we are not to live in the secret chambers of the image that opposes God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. “…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.’” Revelation 2:24-25 NIV

Those of the global culture do not want a light to shine in their secret chamber, they do not want their motives to be exposed. They are hostile against being exposed as people who serve the will of the beast as servants to the global government of the beast. Today, we can say about the leaders in the churches and of this world what Ezekiel said, “Then said He unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark,” They love the darkness more than the light, “And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.” John 3:19-20

Those who live for the false god wants us to believe that Jesus Christ is not coming back, and that God has forsaken the whole earth, “…for they say, the Lord seeth us not; the Lord hath forsaken the earth.” “…knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.” 2 Peter 3:3-4

The scoffers do not deny that global warming is already here, but they have no idea that global warming is the Fourth Plague in Revelation 16:8-9, “The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was allowed to scorch people with fire. They were seared by the intense heat, and they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify him.” Revelation 16:8-9 Global warming is instrumental in collapsing the power center of the beast (Fifth Plague) which renders the world government and its global culture powerless. In that powerlessness, the Battle of Armageddon arises in the Sixth Plague. The Day of the Lord comes, and Jesus Christ returns as promised.

‘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.”
