One Thousand Years Is as A Day!!!

The LORD woke me up out of my sleep and reminded me of a quote used by William Cooper, the author of “Behold A Pale Horse” where he quoted a variation of an ancient Roman phrase, “panem et circences” meaning “bread and circuses”. Mr. Cooper was expounding on one of the greatest wiles of the devil. Used by many in specific contexts of politics and entertainment.

Coined by Decimus lunius luvenalis known as Juvenal, the satiric poet, from the late first and early second century AD. He “used bread and circuses” to criticize the Roman people for abandoning their civic duty and political powers for free gains and entertainment. Surmising that this led to the moral decay of a society. This method is used by authorities, governments, and corporations in modern times, as distractions, entertainment, and consumerism, to divert attention from significant issues and events, while maintaining public approval.

This was shown to me yesterday as I caught glimpses of a baseball game, along with snippets and commentaries from multiple games. As the cameras would catch the faces and reactions of players and fans, I couldn’t help but marvel at the display of pride, bewilderment, and even anger, just to name a few emotions. This can become a highly charged environment with fighting, vandalism, and other displayed sensations. Where the concept of sportsmanship is deteriorating at a rapid pace.

Events that Jesus Christ would never concern Himself with. Victory and defeat wrapped in pride will deliver many souls to hell. Just as powerful as public opinion and political sentiment. Giving people a voice over centuries, as it is being stripped away. Leading to a cataclysmic shift because, let's face it, your perspectives never really mattered.

Being unable to distinguish from reality, your souls are caught up in hell. You are being slowly and at times swiftly destroyed by the wiles of the devil. All sin leads to death and murder. Idiosyncrasies that are irrelevant in the totality of this life. Who in your striving will not shed one drop of blood for the redemption from the sins of others. Meditate on what is commanded of us in the 12th chapter of the Book of Hebrews. The entire chapter! With emphasis on verse 29, “For our God is a consuming fire”, and verse 4, “You have not yet struggled to the point of shedding blood in your striving against sin”. The key word in the latter, is “yet”, for the remaining “true” martyrs that are being prepared. We are told to “follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the LORD” (v. 14).
