| Artistic Depiction of Jesus' Olivet Discourse |
18 November 2021: In Jesus Olivet Discourse Jesus spoke these words: "You will hear of wars and rumors of wars..." The one Koine Greek word Matthew, Mark and Luke used for "wars" is polemos. Luke went further and combined polemos with akatastasia.
Polemos means warfare, either literally as in kinetic warfare (WWI, WWII, Iraq War, etc.) or figurative warfare. The phrase Jesus spoke "wars and rumors of wars" of the often quoted Olivet Discourse has the meaning of both kinetic and figurative war.
The readers of Eschatology Today should be, but perhaps are not completely familiar with the terms used here over the years which constitute figurative war. Information Warfare (IW) is figurative war. It is war of a different kind, a non-kinetic or physically destructive war. Cyber Warfare (CW) is another type of figurative warfare and can be both physically destructive as well as non-kinetic disruption of computer code. There are other types of figurative war, but you get the point.
What is occurring of late on the Poland-Belarus border is a war, at the moment it is a type of figurative war which virtually no one here is likely to be familiar with. It's also abbreviated as IW, but this IW stands for Irregular Warfare. Irregular warfare is warfare waged against the things of value or worth in a given society. In this case Vladimir Putin is waging irregular warfare on the eastern border of the EU and NATO against the heart of axiological values that Western Civilization has with regard to human life.
As the 1945 website put it a couple of days ago, "Putin’s irregular warfare (IW) playbook aims to hit the West at the heart of our axiological fabric, where values and assumptions about the sanctity of human life clash head-on with the irreducible duty of the state to provide for border integrity and security."
Get that? It is the exact same thing that is taking place on the U.S. southern border with Mexico. What Vladimir Putin has done on the Polish border is take a page of the Deep State/Globalist playbook in its ongoing takeover of our government. Refugees are the weapons in this type of irregular warfare.
Now, getting back to Luke's Gospel, another point that it even more important to make here is how Luke presented Jesus' words about the sign of "wars and rumors of wars." Luke, the good doctor, used the educated words polemos and akatastasia. Akatastasia (ak-atastah-see'ah) has the meanings of instability, states of disorder, disturbance, confusion, tumult.
So, as anyone can see Luke's account of this phrase within Jesus' Olivet Discourse is the most accurate in describing the big picture of the world as we know it today as a sign of the nearness of His coming, of the nearness of the Harpazo. "Wars and rumors of wars" has garnered most of the eschatological headlines over the years and is the leading phrase in books on Bible prophecy, in common use in Christian circles and on this blog as well, but as a specific response to the apostles question, "And what be the sign of Your coming and the end of the age" Luke's gospel account is the most complete, the most accurate in the meaning of the words he used: "But when you hear of wars and instability, states of disorder, disturbances, confusions and tumult..."
This SITREP is the result of a Word from the Lord. Maybe others have given a similar teaching elsewhere, but I'm not aware of that possibility. This is what He led me to write last evening.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm glad you listened, it is encouraging the Lord knows how were feeling and sends a comforting word. The daily barrage of ak-atastah-see'ah and BS coming from so many fronts has been very frustrating.
ReplyDeleteWell, I think we should all know the season we're living in. But then again I've come across some American folks lately who profess Christian belief, but deny that our departure is near.
DeleteI look at Luke's polemos and akatastasia descriptors and I see Kenosha, Seattle, Portland not to mention the Polish and Lithuanian borders, Aghanistan and the U.S. southern border and think to myself "how incredibly blind such people are."
The critical last hours in which we live are completely undeniable. And this is only one of the prophetic signs; the other specific signs are just as prominently in our face. I guess some lamps simply have no oil in them.
And the 1599 Geneva Bible reads thusly at Luke 21:9
ReplyDelete"And when ye hear of wars and seditions, be not afraid: for these things must first come, but the end followeth not by and by."
It appears that Putin's irregular warfare against the EU/NATO on Poland's eastern border is now in the throes of complete defeat and retreat.
ReplyDeleteLarge numbers of MidEast Muslim migrants are being flown home (mostly Iraqis) from the Belarusian capital at Minsk. 400 went wheels-up today. 2,000 others have been removed from the border crossing to an indoor warehouse serving as a waypoint for follow-on transport out of Europe.
Big win for the EU/NATO.
In keeping with the theme of this SITREP, another we are tracking just popped up again.
ReplyDeleteChiCom preparations to invade Taiwan have been completed.
Chinese Military now set for Taiwan invasion
Additional notes:
Beijing will not wait for US 2024 election, perhaps not even 2022 election.
US will offer only token resistance so as to not provoke nuclear war.
Taiwan has surprises up its sleeve, there will be massive numbers of casualties on both sides.
ChiComs have turned off all of their AIS merchant vessel tracking data; over 1,000 of their merchant vessels are now troop transports.
Public Service Message:
ReplyDeleteFight SARS-CoV-2 infection with a healthy diet. Supplement this with good antiseptic oral rinsing 2-3 times a day (Listerine, Scope, etc.).
Also keep watch for new nasal sprays that are highly effective in blocking infection via the nasopharynx. Brand names are Nasitrol and COVIXYL-V; were clinical tested sucessfully with ICU doctors, nurses and staff treating COVID patients. Good old Vick's inhaler (pre-2004 formula) or similar as a standby. North American Herb and Spice's Oreganol P73 product is an oral anti-viral I've used for more than a decade to great effect.
That's real interesting. When you mentioned those meds I did a quick search on the daily meds I'm taking.
DeleteI have been on Loratidine, Famotadine and Fluticasone Propionate for y e a r s.
A quick search of articles suggests that all three of these can have a suppressive effect on COVID-19.
Does your investigation corroborate this and add these to your list?
Herzogdan101,
DeleteIn a word, yes, all three have been in clinical studies with positive results noted for each. Only Fluticasone Propionate was noted as needing a higher dosage than normal.
Rhonda,
ReplyDeletePrecisely, exactly why Kenosha was included in my comment to this SITREP yesterday evening.
AKATASTASIA is not coming, it is here.
It seems that we are experiencing what the Holy Spirit described to Mark as "the beginning of birth pains," which will last for an unknown (to us) period of time. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark%2013%3A7-8&version=NIV
ReplyDeleteIt is certainly possible that we are about to be Harpazoed at any moment.
It is also possible that we are in a period of foreshadowing, like the reign of Antiochus Epiphanes was of the Abomination of Desolation. As Solomon wrote, "What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun."
We wait upon the Lord and renew our strength through our faith in Him.
Miriam,
DeleteMark 13 is, as Matthew (Ch.24 & 25) and Dr. Luke (Ch. 21) also wrote in their gospels, near if not verbatim quotes of our Lord's words in His Olivet Discourse (on the Mount of Olives overlooking the Temple Mount).
The "birth pangs" are a similie describing how the several signs He gave would increase in frequency and severity in the progression of time. The "birth pangs" herald the birth of the millennial (1,000 years) Kingdom of God on this Earth. The "birth pangs" conclude with the Harpazo, followed by Israel's '70th Week of years' which is simultaneous with the judgments of all the nations on earth.
And by the way, the seven years of 66-73 AD (the Jewish revolt against Rome) were a also general foreshadowing of what will occur during Israel's 70th Week. This has all been written about here before, years ago in fact, but it's good to repeat these things once again.
Marana'tha!
A new SITREP coming in hours regarding the massive intelligence compromise and breach of security involving Defense Minister Benny Gantz, Shin Bet and the Islamic Republic of Iran.
