We are now in the tail end of the End Times, which is leading to more and more practical problems, even for Christians!
"I heard a voice from the midst of the four creatures saying: ‘A scoop of wheat for a silver piece (= a day wage!) and three scoops of barley for a silver piece, but leave olive oil and wine alone*", Revelation 7:6 GNB (translation)
*Real food becoming increasingly unaffordable; greasy fast food and toxic, addictive drinks remain available and cheap...
Increasingly a prisoner
In general, daily life is becoming increasingly unaffordable. People are already choosing, for example, between a full tank of fuel or groceries just to be able to continue commuting, but what comes at the expense of groceries? And groceries are already 30-50% more expensive anyway due to the energy crisis in the Middle East.
Healthcare is becoming increasingly unaffordable; on the one hand, expensive health insurance and high undeductibles; on the other: increasingly expensive medicines.
Rents are going through the roof due to the unattractive new rental law, causing landlords to drop out en masse; and, of course, the annual rent increase without real reasons. Moreover, energy costs have risen extremely due to the wars; and environmental levies are added on top of that...
"From 2027, EU citizens throughout the European Union will be able to use a personal digital ID on their phone, the 'EUDI Wallet' regulated under the eIDAS 2.0 regulation"...
Slave to the digital ID
On top of the unaffordable cost of living comes the so-called '(still) voluntary option' to a digital identity as of January 2027. In this way, everyone will eventually be enslaved by their own identity, while the internet is totally unsafe and unreliable. Will it be any different with the governments that force citizens to be connected to it? The fact that the media says not a word about the imminent arrival of the digital EU ID speaks volumes. No opposition and no commotion desired...
"It compelled all people, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to wear a mark on their right hand or on their forehead. Thus, no one could buy or sell anything unless he wore that mark, that is to say: the name of the beast or the number that is the symbol of that name. And now wisdom is required: let him who has understanding unravel the mystery of the number of the beast; for the number refers to a man, and the number is 666.", Revelation 13:16-18. GNB translation
Choose saving faith
Many in church Babylon will find safety behind, but will have to endure plagues and Judgment. Only those who have left church Babylon and have accepted the saving faith unto eternal life will reap the Fruit thereof!
"Confess Christ as Lord and believe with your heart that God raised him from the dead and you will be saved", Romans 10:9 GNB translation
"This is eternal life: that they may know Thee, the one true God, and Christ Yeshua whom Thou has sent", John 17:3, NBG51 translation
Dealing with Adversity & Blockages
It is increasingly becoming a difficult time full of oppression, mockery, aggression, impatience, coercion, and even more worldly meanness, which I will not go into too much detail about.
"It was given to the second beast to breathe life into this image, so that it could speak and cause to kill everyone who did not want to worship the image," Revelation 13:15 GNB translation
Prayer as a guide on the narrow path
It may sound very easy, but prayer is the only thing that offers ways out; especially then!
Blockages? Pray for a breakthrough on a narrow path. That people will come to your aid. That God's Blessing will be with you. Pray very practically in case of illness, pain, and problems of your family, your relatives, and yourself.
Adversity? Pray to God and Christ; Present your situation to them and ask for the Comforter and solace, for new possibilities, for help on your way. Do not give up and personally remain that Christian in the Rest of God YHWH.
Just keep going!
Do not give up and continue on the narrow path and realize that prayer can also drive out the evil one and his followers!
Seek the ear of Christ!
Yeshua knows all about persecution and praying directly to him (John 14:13-14) with his one true name Yeshua (John 3:18 for without that true name you are condemned already!). And as a Christian, nevertheless remain proactively engaged with the Gifts of the Spirit and thus grow in the necessary Fruit of the Spirit! Only with that Fruit is there Salvation, Christ teaches in Matthew chapter 25.
As a Christian, remain ready for the Second Coming of Christ; a moment that no one knows and will be sudden 'like a thief in the night'.
Whatever you are going to experience: praise and thank God YHWH and Christ; incorporate them into your events and remain that Christian until the moment arrives!
