Chapter 22 – The Elephant in the Room

It is a fact that we have come to a point in time when it seems like no one is willing to tell it like it is. Our political system is a joke, the media has their bios, and even most churches avoid telling the real truth. There is an apprehension that hangs over our society like the preferable sword of Damocles. It seems that no one wants to admit that our planet does have an expiration date; either folks aren’t aware of it, or they don’t want to believe it.

I admit it is difficult to wrap ones thoughts around such an idea. It has been predicted in Scripture for thousands of years, that God would allow sin to run its course, within His pre-determined blueprint. It ends with the destruction of our planet, but who’s studying their Bibles these days, it is such an antiquated book? But it is a book that reveals God’s blueprint and scheduled events as planned, and very likely to occur before 2034 AD.

“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night (unexpected); in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness”, (2 Pe. 3:10-11).
It is the Elephant in the room that no one wants to recognize, many are simply distracted, others are looking away on purpose, “willingly ignorant” (2 Pe. 3:5). “Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD” (Jer. 8:7).

God has called certain individuals, and many know just who they are, that have been appointed to stand up and give the trumpet a certain sound, but there is apprehension. That blast of the trumpet is the sound of warning, “Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh”. (James 5:8)

No one wants to stand up and declare the Elephant is in the room; that we are near the very end. All the Scriptural signs prevail, no matter  the rhetoric we hear from those demanding an optimism that preserves society in some form or another forever. I hear the radio commentators daily, things are really bad they say, but we will prevail, we will recover, we will once again have our day in the sun. God’s word declares, “Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shin And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogances of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible”. God is ready to end this thing we call time. “Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger”. (Isa. 13:9-11, 13)

Part of this anger is directed against those who know the truth but are not willing to stand for it. This is not just a few misguided individuals but an entire movement, Jesus says, “I know your works, that ye are neither cold or hot. I could wish that ye were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold or hot, I will vomit you out of my mouth. (Rev. 3:14-16)

Of course, society will criticize, make fun, and isolate any who dare to point out the Elephant. The enemy of souls will see to it, to make certain any who dare to sound the warning, that they suffer persecution and distain. God’s people have not been called to blend in, but to stand out, not to stand down, but to stand tall; it’s going to take a Holy boldness, which the Spirit will provide.

Faithful Noah was ridiculed, considered an alarmist, a crazy man, delusional (get ready – the same declarations will possibly come your way if you’re faithful). I’m sure even his family had some doubts. None of this dissuaded him though from the message God had given, though he may have been standing alone, He warned the World of coming destruction, and God provided him with the exact year this would take place. The experts of the day, “the mighty men of renown” the philosophers, the PhD’s, those with all the alphabet soup after their names, made their case; nature is fixed, even God could not cause the earth’s destruction. How arrogant, how foolish, how deadly for the vast majority to heed such boasting, they all had been led systematically down the primrose path, the path to destruction, how sad.

It’s decision time, the Elephant is not only in the room, but it is trumpeting loudly, it is stomping violently, can’t you feel the vibration of warning? Everything in our world is in agitation and shaking! It is so obvious only a drunkard would think to ignore it. Let us not be drunk with the cares of this world, or distracted from the globalist mindset, but let us be sober, vigilant, and ready to meet our God, it could occur at any time now, anytime before 2034 AD. God’s blueprint is sure, but He alone will cut the time short, it will not be altered; take a moment, think things through, let God speak to your heart, eternity is at stake!
