Brazil in Chaos... A Perspective From a Native of this Country...
What is so fascinating about the turmoil that exists in our world is that is goes right along with God's prophetic Word, and how it will all play out... Never before in the history of mankind can things change in such a dramatic fashion in such a short period of time due to the technological advances that made it possible... God knew what He was doing as these advances have been allowed by Him to come to fruition as we near the end of the age before the return of Messiah... Daniel chapter 12 points out that "knowledge would increase," and that "many would run to, and fro." ... A time like no other time in human history...
John the apostle was also shown visions of our time, and tried as best he could to describe the type of technology we are now utilizing during our day in a time when such things did not of course exist... Can you imagine how astonished these two prophets were having been shown such visions?...
Yet, there are not too many who are emphasizing these prophesies any longer... God has given us a heads up on these things in order for us to remain sober, from a spiritual standpoint, and not allow ourselves to be fooled into believing mankind can achieve peace in the overall spiritual state we find ourselves in... Without God, and obedience to what He considers just, and right, there will never be peace.... Just a pipe dream, and a viewpoint that can be distorted due to the mystery of lawlessness... As sin, and the practice thereof, continues to become the norm in our world, and define the inhabitants thereof, deception is more easily accepted...
In other words, Satan, and his demonic cohorts have a field day with the majority of mankind... He is the "pied piper" of our world, and is leading many down a path that will lead to self destruction... Lucifer's path is wide, and crooked... A path that declares peace, and safety, but the reality is otherwise as 1 Thessalonians chapter 5 verses 1-3 point out...
Our trust must remain on the return of the ONE TRUE MESSIAH, and our encouraging, and reminding one another of His much needed return that will usher in a true peace.... One of His many titles is of course the "Prince of peace."...
As the author of this article, Marcos, so correctly points out that the "powers that be" are setting up the South American Union by fomenting, and orchestrating chaos... What I found very interesting is the government has allowed for foreign military entities to come into the country in order to help stir up unrest... While the government is purposely placing the country of Brazil in debt... Only adding to the turmoil, but to bring about an order which is desired by the one who orchestrates confusion on a worldwide scale... Satan is not referred to as the "prince of the power of the air" for nothing...
Reminds me of articles that I have read concerning foreigners who are of teenage years, being allowed to come into our country illegally... Will these individuals be trained to cause chaos on the civilian population of the United States?... Since they are not from here, they will more than likely care nothing for the citizens of this nation... As Marcos points out, this is occurring in Brazil right now...
The setting up of the 10 nation superstates on a worldwide scale has been prophesied to take place within God's Word as I have pointed out in prior posts... There will be ten kings ruling over these 10 nations before the emergence of the man of sin, or beast... The one who the dragon, or Satan will give his authority to as pointed out in Revelation chapter 13 verses 1-4...
This 10 nation superstate is also the ten horns on the beast, as well as the 10 toes on the image King Nebuchadnezzar was shown in Daniel chapter 2... The feet that were mixed with iron, and clay...
After Satan gives his ultimate authority of these ten superstate nations over to the man of sin, and beast, the 10 kings will of course have to submit to his rule... As Daniel chapter 7 verses 23-25 point out, 3 of these kings will be subdued... In other words by conquest they will have to submit to the rule of this false messiah... In verse 24, this little horn, or beast, will establish his rule, and be given a pre-appointed time frame of 3, and one half years to rule, and to persecute the saints who will not submit to him...
This is the very reason that the Great Tribulation is for a 7 year period... The first 3, and one half year period will be used so that the beast, or man of sin can fool the masses, and by great military exploits, he will be considered the king of the world, and the "savior" of the Western world... Again all of this being orchestrated, as are many events that have, and continue to occur in our world... There is a plan, and a purpose for chaos... And it is ultimately for the control of mankind...
Not trying to rain on anyone's parade at all, but it so easy to get caught up in the affairs of our own personal lives, that distractions such as wealth, can certainly cause even the most fervent of believers in Messiah to stumble... None of us can afford to allow to take off any portion of our Spiritual Armor, or to lesson the Spirit of God in us... We have to have God fully in us through His Spirit, in order to have any chance of finishing the race...
I believe our Savior, and God is giving us 7 years to prepare for some very trying times as the 7th head or kingdom come to fruition as God's Word points out in Revelation chapter 17 verses 9-14.. Again the same kingdom that Satan will give unto the beast, thus allowing him to ultimate rule over the ten kings who will rule over the 10 horns, or nations that comprise of this kingdom... But through trials we can be made stronger in faith... That is course if we do not allow for the flesh, and the desire thereof to supersede our desire for God's will to be accomplished in our lives...
God bless you all, and may the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you... Even during the most tumultuous times, He can grant us an inner peace that no other can... For He is God, and worthy to be praised...

PS... I would like to point out the comment made after Marco's article, and the link to the Club of Rome's long term plan's to "save," as well as govern mankind... Again these individuals are the so called "elite," and will stop at nothing to ensure that their plans for world governance comes to pass...
The Club of Rome came into existence in 1968, and still does help shape how the governments of our world are run... This of course coincides once again with God's prophetic Word, as these individuals think that their version of peace will be achieved outside of the parameters of how our Creator defines peace... As mentioned above their goals will only lead to destruction because it does not entail the principles that God has decreed from the beginning...
The Way of life that humanity has shunned from our beginnings in the Garden, and has lead us to having to endure hardship, and suffering of our own making due to the mystery of lawlessness...
Those who are a part of these plot to achieve worldwide communism are being used as well.. And one day that will be made abundantly clear... For Satan, and the fallen ones care nothing for those of us who have been made a little lower than themselves... But in the end, God's judgments will deal with those who have sided with the one who is called the devil...
Would it not be wonderful if the world decided to repent on our Creator's terms, and this inevitably harsh lesson would not have to be learned... Sadly, these spiritual problems that continue to bring about these chaotic circumstances have not been recognized for what they are... And will never be remedied with physical means...
Again, the need for our God, and Savior's return is truly necessary to end this madness, and bring about a change that begins within all who have been created in His image...
As you read this, (especially chapter 5) it is interesting to note while this individual is declaring solutions to these problems that have already been discussed... This is a case where those who have the solutions have helped to create the problem so as to allow for their solution to be implemented...
Re: Brazil in Chaos... A Perspective From a Native of this Country...
This article concerning Brazil that I commented was written 7 years ago... We are in a situation here in America where the same tactics that were used to destabilize Brazil is being done here in the USA as well with the open border policy occurring... There have been reports of late teen's, and into their 20's aged males mostly being given permission to enter this country... Subverting this nation is order to ensure that their New World Order comes to fruition... Are individuals being trained with arms behind the scenes in order to form an army to be used to overcome US citizens via force?... As I wrote in the previous post above, eventually what began as NAFTA will bring together Mexico, Canada, and this nation being ruled by a king... Represented in scripture by the 10 horns on the 7th head of the beast that the woman Babylon rides, and controls... The woman riding the beast as written of by John through the revelation of Jesus Christ is essentially nothing more than Satan utilizing his beauty, and deceptiveness to control the nations via lawlessness... Which is of course is the cup of abominations she wields... Chapter 17 of Revelation reminds us of what is being orchestrated during these times of spiritual seduction via Mystery Babylon... Politically, economically, and religiously as well as confusion reigns... We must not allow for this to shake our faith, nor find ourselves inadvertently participating in... This must to come to pass, and as believers in the One True Messiah, the Son of the Living God, our hope must be without question in HIS return as KING of kings, and LORD of lords... This hope of the saints has always been the solution to mankind's suffering... Rejecting God's Way has ultimately only lead to despair, and suffering... As Jesus reminded us through John's recording of our Savior's Words to us:
"17 One of the seven angels who had poured out the seven bowls came over and spoke to me. Come with me, he said, and I will show you the judgment that is going to come on the great prostitute, who rules over many waters. 2 The kings of the world have committed adultery with her, and the people who belong to this world have been made drunk by the wine of her immorality.
3 So the angel took me in the Spirit[a] into the wilderness. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that had seven heads and ten horns, and blasphemies against God were written all over it. 4 The woman wore purple and scarlet clothing and beautiful jewelry made of gold and precious gems and pearls. In her hand she held a gold goblet full of obscenities and the impurities of her immorality. 5 A mysterious name was written on her forehead: Babylon the Great, Mother of All Prostitutes and Obscenities in the World. 6 I could see that she was drunkdrunk with the blood of Gods holy people who were witnesses for Jesus. I stared at her in complete amazement.
7 Why are you so amazed? the angel asked. I will tell you the mystery of this woman and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns on which she sits. 8 The beast you saw was once alive but isnt now. And yet he will soon come up out of the bottomless pit and go to eternal destruction. And the people who belong to this world, whose names were not written in the Book of Life before the world was made, will be amazed at the reappearance of this beast who had died."
Chapter 17 of Revelation continues to give us a summary of events that are going to transpire before our Savior's return... Important that we study, and realize that fighting what will surely have to come to pass is futile... God's Word is Truth, and preparing in, and through what our Messiah, the very Word of God, represents, is vital in one's growth in grace, and knowledge as we work out this process of salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ... John continues in Revelation 17:
"11 The scarlet beast that was, but is no longer, is the eighth king. He is like the other seven, and he, too, is headed for destruction. 12 The ten horns of the beast are ten kings who have not yet risen to power. They will be appointed to their kingdoms for one brief moment to reign with the beast. 13 They will all agree to give him their power and authority. 14 Together they will go to war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will defeat them because he is Lord of all lords and King of all kings. And his called and chosen and faithful ones will be with him.
This eighth king is Abaddon being released from the bottomless pit (see Revelation chapter 9), and utilizing a human vessel to control through possession who the bible refers to as the man of sin (2 Thessalonians chapter 2)... Satan has authority over these kingdoms, but as Revelation chapter 13 declares, give his rulership over the 10 kings, and this 7th, and final empire before the beast is completely destroyed in lake of fire by the return of Jesus Christ (see Revelation chapter 19), and for a 3, and 1/2 year period, will be revered by all people's from every tribe, nation, and tongue... Save those whose names are written in the Lambs Book of Life as we read in Revelation chapter 13:
"4 They worshiped the dragon for giving the beast such power, and they also worshiped the beast. Who is as great as the beast? they exclaimed. Who is able to fight against him?
5 Then the beast was allowed to speak great blasphemies against God. And he was given authority to do whatever he wanted for forty-two months. 6 And he spoke terrible words of blasphemy against God, slandering his name and his dwellingthat is, those who dwell in heaven.[a] 7 And the beast was allowed to wage war against Gods holy people and to conquer them. And he was given authority to rule over every tribe and people and language and nation. 8 And all the people who belong to this world worshiped the beast. They are the ones whose names were not written in the Book of Life that belongs to the Lamb who was slaughtered before the world was made.[b]
9 Anyone with ears to hear
should listen and understand.
10 Anyone who is destined for prison
will be taken to prison.
Anyone destined to die by the sword
will die by the sword.
This means that Gods holy people must endure persecution patiently and remain faithful."
Losing one's life for the sake of eternity spent with our Almighty God is certainly worth the price to pay... Many have lost their lives for causes, or ideal's of far less value... Our Savior's death, and resurrection as the First Born among many brethren who would follow HIM to the very LIFE ETERNAL that Jesus alone represents... As God's righteousness is sought, and embraced by those who did not love their life even if taken on a physical level for the sake of the gospel... For those who endure to the end, 1 Corinthians chapter 15 describes the reward for having relied upon our Spiritual High Priest, and trusted in HIM unequivocally:
"50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I tell you a [m]mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O Death, where is your sting?
O Hades, where is your victory?
56 The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."
What a glorious future for mankind once the establishment of God's kingdom occurs on earth after the return of the Lamb of God... 1,000 years of rest from wars, suffering, and death as Jesus will rule with a rod iron with the saints who had been called through HIM, and endured to whatever end God had planned for these faithful one's... Those, who over the centuries, have ensured that their growth, and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ was top priority in their lives... Jesus gives us a glimpse of this millennial reign, and those who will have the honor of serving mankind as priests, and kings within this everlasting kingdom of God:
"2
Now it will come to pass that
In the last days
The mountain of the house of the Lord
Will be [firmly] established as the [a]highest of the mountains,
And will be exalted above the hills;
And all the nations will stream to it.
3
And many peoples shall come and say,
Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
To the house (temple) of the God of Jacob;
That He may teach us His ways
And that we may walk in His paths.
For the law will go out from Zion
And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4
And He will judge between the nations,
And will mediate [disputes] for many peoples;
And they will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks.
Nation will not lift up the sword against nation,
And never again will they learn war."
Perpetual peace with the very love our Righteous Father defines perfectly, directing the nations into a time that will have eluded HIS creation because of the mystery of lawlessness... May we stay abreast of these events as they unfold, and prepare for a spiritual battle that will require for one to have the fullness of our Beloved Savior through His Spirit within oneself to wage war against the spiritual principalities that represent this fallen, and spiritually lost world... God's kingdom will come, and God's will shall be done on earth as it is in the heavenly realm.. Blessings...
