Don’t Be Blindsided

Genesis 6:11 – “The earth was corrupt before God, the earth was filled with violence . . .”
Luke 17:26 – “Just as it was in the days of Noah, so too it will be in the days of the Son of Man.”
Yeshua warns us that upon his return, it will be just like the days of Noah, and of Lot. At first glance, one would think that Yeshua is saying that violence and corruption will be rampant when he returns, as they appear to have been especially during that last four years.

Luke 17:27-28 – “People were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage – right up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all. Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot, people were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building.” [See also Gen 6:2; Gen 7:7; Matt 24:37-38; 1Pet 3:20]
Matthew 24:37-39 – “For the Son of Man’s coming will be just as it was in the days of Noach. Back then, before the Flood, people went on eating and drinking, taking wives and becoming wives.”
Yeshua continues his warning but instead of talking about corruption and violence, he mentions eating, drinking, and marriage. In other words, he talks about the economy and everyday life which will be humming along quite ‘normally’. Hmmmmm

Trump and the Economy
Judges 3:15 – “When the Israelites cried out for help to the LORD, he raised up a deliverer for them.”
The people of the world, especially the citizens of the United States, called out for deliverance from the increasing violence and corruption – Yahweh listened – and appears to have sent a deliverer, in the person of Trump! Time will tell if Trump can once again put the economy back on a solid footing and life (as it were) will return to ‘normal’. Hmmmmm

Deceived, Deluded, and Blindsided
Matthew 24:4 – “Watch out that no one deceives you.”
Mark 13:5 – “Watch out! Don’t let anyone fool you.”
2 Thessalonians 2:3 – “Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way.”
Ephesians 5:6 – “Let no one deceive you with empty talk; for it is because of these things that God’s judgment is coming on those who disobey him.”
The Bible warns us many times not to be deceived. Scripture also tells us that Yeshua will return at a time when no one expects him [Matthew Chapter 24, Mark Chapter 13, etc.]. Scripture also tells us that those who truly belong to Yeshua at his coming will not be unaware of the timing. In other words it will not take Yeshua’s true followers “by surprise like a thief” (1 Thessalonians 5:4).

2 Thessalonians 2:11 – “Therefore Yahweh sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false.”
It may be that Trump, if the economy once again is booming, is nothing more than part of the strong delusion Yahweh puts in place to deceive those who disobey him. Don’t be deceived or deluded! Hmmmmm

Conclusions
• • The people cried out for deliverance, and Yahweh appears to have sent a deliverer in the person of Trump.
• • However, one is not to be deceived that this rescue from the previous four years of increasing violence and corruption will delay Yeshua’s return at the appointed time.
• • Don’t be blindsided by an economy and/or life that appears to have returned to be ‘normal’.
• • Remember, scripture tells us Yeshua will return at a time when no one expects it to happen.

Final Thought for 2025
• Prophecy continues to unfold as foretold by the Hebrew prophets. History is moving extremely quickly towards the prophesied one world government, the one world financial system, and the rise of both the Antichrist and the False Prophet.
• The escalation of wars and rumors of wars continues to unfold, both in the Middle East and around the globe.
• Time is incredibly short – The birth pangs are just over the horizon.
• The great day of Yahweh is getting really near, even at the door. It hastens forth and will not delay.
• Be sure you are believing The Truth, not The Lie, and maintain an attitude of thanksgiving.
• Be sure Yeshua is your Redeemer, King, and High Priest, and your sins are forgiven.
