From the Kingdom of Darkness
In Colossians 1:12-14, we give thanks to the Father for making us part of the saints' inheritance in light. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of His beloved Son, through whom we have redemption and forgiveness.
In this world, death is inevitable. Ministers of God's word often weep for those lost without salvation, having turned away from the Blood of the Lamb. They've chosen a path leading to eternal darkness. These ministers are not at fault; the responsibility lies with those who chose darkness over light. Those who die in sin will face judgment in that condition, despite receiving the truth.
Ministerial Duty
According to 2 Corinthians 4:5, ministers preach not of themselves but of Christ, serving others for His sake. Their duty is to deliver the truth, not for personal gain but for the glory of Jesus. The Father has translated us into the kingdom of His Son, which implies two meanings of translation:
1. Physical Translation: As seen in scripture with Enoch, who was taken to heaven without experiencing death.
2. Spiritual Translation: This refers to a transformation of character, a shift from a carnal mindset to the mind of Christ, involving a profound change in one’s heart and thoughts.
Some believe that being translated protects Christians from Satan's attacks. This misunderstanding is dangerous. The translation involves a spiritual change from deception to truth, not immunity from the world’s challenges. As long as we live, our bodies remain targets for darkness.
The Example of Paul
Consider Paul's experience in 2 Corinthians 12:7-10. To prevent pride, Paul endured a "thorn in the flesh," a messenger of Satan, illustrating that even those deeply connected to divine truth can suffer. He embraced his weaknesses, finding strength in Christ's power. Despite all wisdom, we coexist with darkness as stated in John 17:16.
2 Corinthians 4:3-4 highlights that the gospel is veiled to those who are lost, blinded by the god of this world, Satan. This word serves as a warning and a call to vigilance.
Prophecy and the Present
The Book of Revelation presents a troubling pattern. Post-letters to the churches, the absence of the church is apparent, indicating a shift in prophetic focus. Despite the availability of scriptural prophecy, many ignore its insights. Several factors contribute to this:
1. The Church's Absence: The gospel's focus shifts from Gentiles to Jews, fulfilling prophecy with the 144,000 sealed Jews. While Gentiles can still repent, prophecy unfolds as written.
2. Global Reign of Darkness: Revelation 11:10 depicts a world celebrating the death of prophets who tormented them with truth.
3. Self-Preservation: Revelation 6:15-17 describes humanity hiding from divine wrath, consumed by self-preservation.
4. Divine Delusion: According to 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12, a strong delusion blinds those who reject truth, leading them to believe lies.
The power of darkness has been broken for believers, who now possess the ability to think and act in righteousness. We have been delivered from Satan's grip, embracing a life led by Christ's teachings. Righteousness and truth embody God's kingdom.
A Call to Awareness
Have we become blinded to the truth of Biblical Prophecy due to recent global calamities? What are you seeking that Jesus cannot supply? It’s time to reflect on this.
Conclusion
We must remain vigilant, embracing the light, and fulfilling our call to truth and righteousness in a world overshadowed by darkness.
