Crazy Week

 

How to describe this week.  A week ago we were in apoplexy about our PM putting the country in some kind of overreach lockdown.  Seizing bank accounts, going after enemies of the state.  By Wednesday that was all shut down and Canada is all peace love again.  Thursday Russia invades Ukraine.  No one really knows what is going on yet, but the propaganda is glorious.  

The same people who saw the media mislead the past few months and years are all in now.  "It is all true."

Our Lord says in Isaiah 66:4 "I will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not."

We also know that the Lord hardened Pharaohs heart, even when he knew he was in the wrong, he doubled down to go after the Israelites.

II Thessalonians 2:11 "And for this cause God shall send them a strong delusion, that they should believe a lie."

People who are on this side of the rapture still have time to put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ as their saviour.  But once the saved and dead rise.  The Holy Spirit will be gone as a Satan suppressing presence.  He and he minions will have free reign, those left behind will fall into the most base element.  It will not be a good time to be alive.  Satan is the father of lies.

I will sit and think of all of this, search out the Scriptures references and write something up.  In the mean time, please know, ye must be born again.  Night.

Canadian Flag

 Took my flag down, needs maintenance.  Not flying freely. 

Melt Down

It is my hope to stay out of politics on this blog.  For some reason, our nations response to the C-19 threat has been turned into a political circus.  With some on both sides running around claiming to 'follow the science'.  Pretty apparent to me that most of the science presented is groomed to support whatever result is requested prior.

The government has declared the Emergency Measures Act in force, designed for use against insurrection and or invasion, against a moderate amount of trucks idling in downtown Ottawa.  There were some slow downs and even for a couple days some blockages on a bridge and two border crossings, which the police onsite cleared with no violence.

Our leadership (elected) who should be making every attempt to unite our nation, instead seem hell-bent to burn it all down.

It is not the first time those in leadership have lost control of the narrative and panicked in human history.

First time for my nation.  

Pray for our nation.  Pray for our elected leadership.  Pray for those in positions of influence.  Pray for those who have been living in fear for the past couple of years.  Pray for the people of Canada.

God bless.

Isaiah 46

8.  Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors.

9.  Remember the former things of old: for I am god, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,

12.  Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that are far from righteousness:

13. I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.

A week

 Well.  It has been a very interesting week.

Found this picture from a group of pics, taken by a professional photographer in the city of Toronto earlier this week.  Are the truck fellows going to make a difference?  Is the government overreach going to back off?

Well I have no crystal ball.

The only thing I can see, from my reading of history.  Is there is a chance of our politicians and governing types to get in front of this and become hero's.  Absolutely, some are trying.  Unfortunately, I don't see it succeeding.

So far they (governing authorities) are doubling down, going all in on attempts to mislead, mislabel, verbally attack and maybe even use their policing agencies to take firmer steps.  We have seen corporate media step in with support, i.e. FB and other social media types blocking or suppressing posts and of course GoFundMe trying to rip off a few million bucks.

My fear is (though as a Bible believing Christian I have no fear in this, a phrase of expression is being used) that our governing class will try to push all of this under the rug, ignore it and eventually move on to the next restriction or burden on the underclass of our society.

And you know what?  They will get away with it, for awhile.

These kind of things (when you read history you can learn a lot, it doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme) have a tendency, when suppressed to fester.  You ignore the peaceful suggestion from your dogs growl to back off, over and over and eventually you get bit.  Usually much worse than expected by the history of your interactions with your puppy.

Crowds and populations can be the same.

And here's the other thing, reasonable people start the push back, but over time, fanatics take over.

All that aside, I know how the Book ends.  God is in control.  We are to be salt and light.  People on this earth are not my enemies, only Satan, and I only push back at him, as did the angel Michael, with the Word of God.

Pray for wisdom for our elected and appointed leaders and those in positions of power and influence.

Have a great day folks.  Stay strong.

Convoys and Reactions

Well as stated, I try to avoid politics.  This convoy for freedom stuff involves people I know and family.  Plus the military community I once served and stay in touch with.

The reaction by some has been completely over the top (I am not going to comment on the government reaction excepting to say that the former premier of NFLD is suing the government over what he says are violations of Canadians Human Rights, being one of the only still living signers of the Constitution and Charter of Rights, I will just leave that there).

I went and looked myself (both in person and online) and saw a cross-section of working class Canadians, of all colours, make ups and creeds.  More flags than I have ever seen.  Made me proud of my country.

What I don't understand is the reaction of folks that normally would not trust the media or government to tell the complete truth.  I mean, you can see the video of average Canadians and working families of all shapes, colours and sizes involved, yet some are saying it is a "racist" and "marginal" movement.

Ex-military folks completely triggered by the term "freedom", "convoy" or "warrior" being used.  Its not like any of the protests of the past couple of years those terms have not been used (well, in the case of convoy anyone over 50 remembers the song and CB radios).  Canadian military folks.  Normally well aware of the history of our governmental parties and media have treated and maligned groups of soldiers  and minorities in the past.  It is not exactly a new feature for the military to be tossed aside in Canada when their usefulness has been expended.

Why is it?  Why the overreaction?  Well, one can wonder if maybe it is because the vaccines are not working.  I mean, it is pretty obvious.  The variants have spread everywhere, the countries with the highest vax rates and restrictions are doing the worst (not that anyone is doing that well, but when you keep doing the same thing expecting a different result...?).  

Everybody stepped up to take them with the understanding that when we reached whatever number 70-80-90% (the ever sliding bar) we would be free and get back to our lives.  Of course it hasn't happened.  I don't think it will ever happen.  C-19 variants are here to stay.  But it doesn't explain the anger.  

Not sure if I know why.   Have a great day, On Purpose.

God is in control.
