Are we in some kind of Shaking Time in America?

[Joe Knapp]

I saw a YT short of a woman saying "I am glad Charlie Kirk is dead. He got what he deserved".  A comment was that some people are evil now. It is evil to wish people dead. 

Is there a growing spirit of evil in America? 

We always talk about a shaking time in the church, but could there be a shaking time in the general population?

Great point!

Death is the ultimate enemy. No matter how much I may dissagree with someone, we should discuss, share what we understand, peaceful protest, and who knows, someone may end up like Saul/Paul. 

I would have loved to approach the Charlie Kirk "Prove me wrong" and point out that the sign should have read NOT "Prove me wrong" but "Prove the Dragon right." He saw the danger of the dragon of Revelation 12, but ran to the beast of Revelation 13 for protection from the dragon, and wanted people to argue with him in trying to prove the dragon right, and if the dragon was wrong then join him with the beast.  Most that approached him would have tried to prove the dragon right. Charlie's eyes opened to the Sabbath. Maybe his eyes could have been opened to the truth that the beast he so trusted in is just as wrong as the dragon, and he could have changed from an evangelist for the beast to becoming an evangelist for the lamb, the true lamb. 

God uses us to bring glory to his name: either through what God can do to our hearts and life, or by showing the ugliness of evil as it works out in their life.  Neither of these two paths allow for us to put them to death or wish that they would die. 

I read in Liberty in I think the 1990s that Patrick Henry wanted to push for the US, or at least VA to be a Christian state and was opposing Thomas Jefferson and James Madison in their wanting liberty of conscience. Jefferson wrote to Madison and suggested that they pray that Henry would die. Madison replied that instead of them praying for Henry to die, to instead support him to become the governor of VA. This would get him out of the state legislator so that his voice for a Christian state against liberty of conscience would no longer have the influence, and that he would probably prefer the promotion and this was a better choice than death.

Quote

His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clear His threshing floor; and He will gather His wheat into the barn, but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”  Mat 3:12

I don't know much about Charlie Kirk other than he was murdered. 

But could God be using people like him, to separate the peoples? 

Could he be preparing a people to receive the truth in the end time by separating the people? 

On the internet, I see many young woman wearing tattoos and piercings  and multicolor hair.

I wonder if they are being winnowing out.  

[Theophilus]

Why just women?  

I dont think tattooing and multicolor hair is the test. I'd bet many Christian folk have tattoos, perhaps from youth and perhaps regret them now. 

And the person said that about Kirk --could be that she felt discounted by something he said.

I would be more worried about people who are justifying the events occurring in the US. But they may feel discounted as well, and this makes them feel better.

This is why Jesus is judge, and not us.

Thank you, Lord.
