Graveyards Filled With Tombstones, Waiting For Names

By Rob Pue

Recently, I spoke to you about worry and fear — the “fear mongering” that’s propagated by the media, which Christians seem to crave so much.  It seems Christians, especially, seek out and eat up the bad news of war, pestilence, and imminent threats to our homeland and all of mankind.

Yes, God’s Word does speak of a time of great tribulation, which the world has never seen before, coming in the last days.  And Christians love to see the prophecies of the Bible fulfilled in our time, because they desperately long for Christ’s second coming, when true justice will be meted out and Christians will be welcomed into God’s everlasting kingdom.  Then, “God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”

Of course, we all long for that time.  Yet no one knows the day or the hour of Christ’s return.  And I reiterate that as Christ-followers, our job is not to sit back and wait for the “rapture” but rather to be about our Father’s business every day, doing His will and following His commandments, occupying until He returns, serving as a restraining force against evil and wickedness.  Far fewer Christians are willing to do any of that.  It seems they’d rather just let wickedness prevail and cheer it on as the world spirals into an inevitable time of great tribulation.

There was a time in this nation when we feared the Lord.  “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.”  This doesn’t mean that we were afraid of Him, but rather that we had reverence and awe of His mighty power, His creation of this world and the sustenance He provided, as well as every single blessing He chose to bestow upon us — as a nation and as families and individuals.

Today, that fear of the Lord is gone.  The vast majority of our people no longer even consider God throughout the whole of their lives.  Others, who attend church weekly and consider themselves to be “faithful Christians” know very little about Him, and their “worship” is often in vain.  They gather together in the “safe spaces” of their “holy huddles,” rarely, if ever, impacting the world.  Their “faith” never leaves the church building.  They never open their mouths in public to correct lies, object to our Lord’s name being used as a curse word, and they do not instruct their children according to God’s commandments.

Marriages and families become dysfunctional because the one key component to build such a firm foundation for life and future generations is never even spoken of — God almighty.  Ineffectual “prayers” may be offered at holiday meal times, but there’s no relationship with Jesus, and certainly no serious fear of the Lord — there is no reverence and awe left, for the most part, even among professing Christians.  Most families no longer have home Bible study or prayer times.  Children today don’t even really understand what a church building is used for, and church-goers don’t understand that the “Church” is not a building.

We shouldn’t be ignorant of current world events in the news.  But we also shouldn’t be so gleeful when we see destruction coming upon the earth at a record pace.  Certainly, we cannot and will not change what God chooses to do, nor can we change His divine timeline of events in this world.  But at the very least, we can pray fervently, without ceasing.  And also, at the very least, for those of us who name the name of Christ, we can be salt and light in this world, rather than cowardly — more worried about what people will think of us or say about us or how they’ll treat us, if we were to open our mouths to speak the truth, share our testimonies and the Gospel of our Savior.

The end will come someday, but that will really only be the beginning.  When we enter into eternity, that will be a day of reckoning for all mankind.  Every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.  Many today are eager for a wholesale “rapture” and many have a terribly wrong spirit regarding those who are lost.  They look forward to the evil men and women in this world who will spend eternity in hell.  Some are well known figures on the world stage.  Others are those within peoples’ own families and communities.  They refuse to do anything to snatch those lost souls from the claws of the devil.  They refuse to be watchmen on the wall, speaking truth and warning of the urgent need for repentance and reverence for God.  The blood of the lost will be on their hands.

And even as so many now look forward to the “last day,” sitting back and waiting to meet the Lord in the air, they’re oblivious to the fact that for at least 200,000 people, today is their “last day.”  Every day, 200,000 people depart this world — some professing Christians, and some not.  Today, for those who pass away, there are no more opportunities to repent. No more opportunities to have a relationship with Jesus.  No more opportunities to “get right with God.”  God Himself will one day close the door of this “ark” we’re living in, in these earthly bodies, and the time of salvation will have passed.

Does this not concern you?  When your time comes — whether it be at the end of your earthly life, or whether that Great and Terrible Day of the Lord comes first — what fruit will you have to show for your time here?  Will you have even a single crown, earned in this life, to cast before the heavenly throne?  Or will you hear those terrible words, “depart from Me, you workers of iniquity.  I never knew you?”

Please friends, grasp the gravity of your current situation.  If you think your Christian walk is “good enough,” and that God will understand why you were too ashamed of Him to represent Him as an appointed ambassador on this earth, you’re wrong.  If you’re in an ineffectual “church” where you’re never trained up for the work of the ministry, and taught how to go out of that building and make disciples, and encouraged — even required — to do so, you’re in an apostate “church.”  God is not pleased.  Vain prayers and obligatory religious rituals do not make you a child of the Most High.

The pastors in this nation have so much power, so much ability to effect real, positive change.  They have a captive audience every week.  They know the Scriptures (or at least they should), yet they’re afraid to speak the whole counsel of God for fear of offending lost sinners.  And so, we have innocent blood on our hands; our children are driven to madness and suicide; our marriages and families are broken and our nation is in chaos and turmoil.  The vast majority of our modern American churches are nothing more than social clubs where people go to be mesmerized by the so-called “praise choruses,” entertained by motivational speakers and then fattened up on pot-luck dinners, resulting in lazy, complacent false converts with pot bellies.

And as so many professing Christians continue to “salivate” at the idea of World War 3, now I’m seeing a great many almost “gleeful” over the recent American bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities.  And wars and rumors of wars continue.  Wars have been going on the whole of my life, all throughout the world.  We’ve learned nothing from history, nor have we come to understand that the only ones that “win” any of these wars are those invested in the weapons of war.

We were duped into the “Korean conflict.” Again, in Vietnam.  Again, in Iraq and Afghanistan.  You know, the Soviet Union was at war in Afghanistan for ten years, from 1979 to 1989 and then they pulled out, because it was a lost cause.  Not to be outdone, America waged war in Afghanistan for twenty years, and then finally pulled out, defeated, leaving a treasure trove of weapons — along with American citizens — behind.

In 1979 we had the “Iran Crisis.” Yes, Iran has been an avowed enemy of the US for nearly fifty years.  The “Iran Crisis” lasted 444 days, as Iran held 52 American hostages.  Ted Koppel can thank the “Iran Crisis” for his career, which began in earnest with his nightly special reports.  When the hostages were released, the day Ronald Reagan took office in 1980, those reports became the ABC late night news program “Nightline,” which aired for 25 years.

The government of Iran has hated America ever since.  School children in Iran are required to trample the American flag every morning as they enter school and then chant “Death to America” on a daily basis.  This has been going on for fifty years.

Today we have an unnecessary war with Ukraine and Russia.  That should have never happened, but the military industrial complex requires endless wars.  Now we have European nations — along with the US — feeding the military industrial complex machine in that conflict.  But still, not enough blood has been shed.  We also have Russia, China, North Korea and Iran — along with all the Islamic nations of the world coming together against Israel, and the US as its proxy.

Here in America, many of our people are so insane, they’re siding with our avowed enemies.  Especially our young people, and the Liberal Leftist cult.  They’ve been taught for years to despise our American history and heritage.  They may as well be chanting “Death to America” and trampling our flag like Iranian school kids.  And many of them are.

I had hoped that Donald Trump would take a “hands off” approach to world affairs and focus on rebuilding our own nation.  We have no business meddling in the situation with Ukraine and Russia.  We have no business fanning the flames of war in the middle east any longer.  If we were to remove the American influence from these wars, hostilities would quickly end.  But the banker boys and the Military Industrial Complex need the endless wars to continue.  There’s big money to be made there — and both Democrat and Republican politicians have invested heavily in the companies that manufacture weapons of war, weapons of mass destruction.

One might argue that bombing three nuclear weapons facilities in Iran was a good thing.  Only God knows what Iran would have done — or may still do — as they continue hostilities worldwide.  The demonic angel known as the “Prince of Persia” is still active, and hatred continues to boil over in that region.  A spokesperson for Iran has vowed that 50,000 Americans will return home in coffins because of this recent attack on their nuclear facilities.

Let me ask you some questions.  These are not original to me.  “How many times must the cannonballs fly, before they’re forever banned?”  “How many years can some people exist, before they’re allowed to be free?” “How many times can a man turn his head, and pretend  that he just doesn’t see?” “Yes, and how many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?” “Yes, and how many deaths will it take ‘til he knows that too many people have died?”

Wars will continue because the politicians and weapons manufacturers want the money. Should we not defend the helpless and oppressed?  Of course we should, but that’s not what any of this is really about.  And if we’re so concerned about the oppressed, we should begin in our own nation, on our own soil.  There’s been enough bloodshed.  We have graveyards filled with tombstones, just waiting for the names.

The fear mongers in the media are now speculating that Iran or another foreign enemy may destroy America with a nuclear explosion or bring down our entire grid with an EMP blast.  Fear not, friends.  The kings and rulers of the earth didn’t spend all that money building the 5- and 6-G — and now the AI — infrastructure just to allow it to be destroyed.

There may be some “false flag” attacks here on American soil, but they’ll be limited in scope. They don’t want a desolate wasteland as their spoils of war.  They want our digital infrastructure intact so our survivors can be easily controlled with technology.

I’d be more concerned about retaliation from the sleeper cells of Islamic terrorists and military-age illegals from enemy nations around the world — you know, the ones I’ve been warning about for years now.  They weren’t all given free cell phones as they freely invaded our country so they could call their Grandmas back home.

We’ve managed to make enemies around the world, but now those enemies are inside our gates, and one day, perhaps soon, those phones are going to ring.  And all those who’ve profited from the deaths of millions overseas all these years will come to understand just what they have done.  That’s what I predict is coming to America, but don’t live your lives in fear of what might happen. Instead, fear the Lord and seek His wisdom and be about your Father’s business.  While there’s still time.
