Responding to Endtime Crisis and Chaos – Chapter 9, Part 2

​This week we’ll continue with our review of chapter 9 in Isaiah Decoded – Ascending the Ladder to Heaven. Last week we summarized Isaiah’s ladder to heaven using Israel’s Tabernacle as a template. This week, we’ll use our last few posts to consider Endtime events and how to properly respond to them.  When we look at current events and how they relate with Isaiah, we see an upheaval in the status quo in the world and here in America. This contrived crisis and chaos is meant to destabilize us and instill in us a sense of uncertainty, confusion, and fear. Fear is a powerful emotion that can get us to do things that we normally wouldn’t do. The perpetrator’s end-game of these crises and chaos is to usher in their version of order from chaos.

Isaiah Predicts Endtime Confusion and Chaos
One of the aspects of Isaiah's Endtime scenario is that the World and especially America will experience a period of confusion and chaos. A lot of this confusion and chaos originates with both political and religious leadership.  Isaiah predicts that religious leader will create confusion by serving "all tables are filled with vomit; no spot is without excrement" for doctrines - Isaiah 28:8. He also predicts that political leadership especially here in America will create confusion and chaos.

"The ministers of Zoan are utter fools; the wisest of Pharaoh’s advisers give absurd counsel. How can you say to Pharaoh, We ourselves are as wise as the first rulers? Where are your wise men indeed? Let them please tell you, if they can discern it, what Jehovah of Hosts has in mind for Egypt! The ministers of Zoan have been foolish, the officials of Noph deluded; the heads of state have led Egypt astray.  Jehovah has permeated them with a spirit of confusion; they have misled Egypt in all that it does, causing it to stagger like a drunkard into his vomit. And there shall be nothing the Egyptians can do about it, neither head nor tail, palm top or reed." - Isaiah 19:11-15

One thing that we have to remember is that Yehovah is using these leaders intentionally to create this confusion and chaos as part of His judgment and as a motivation to repent.


Isaiah Predicts Social Anarchy and Collapse
A logical result that we see with the intentional promotion of social chaos and confusion is a breakdown in the cohesion of society. Having recently moved to a state that is implementing policies that promote social chaos, I am witnessing this first hand.  My new city has gone soft on crime. Businesses have been forced to hire their own police forces to control their loses.  Businesses will close if their loses become too great and find less accessible modes to sell their goods and services. Less accessibility to goods and service will force the "have-nots" to take from the "haves". ​As leaders further corrupt our money by excessive spending, inflation escalates further exacerbating the situation.  

Dr. Gileadi -

"Economic distress leads to anarchy and the division of God’s people into clans or bands, each fighting for survival: “Jehovah of Hosts deprives Judea and Jerusalem of both staff and crutch—all food supply and water supply. . . . I will make adolescents their rulers; delinquents will lord it over them. People will oppress one another, every man his neighbor. . . . Then will a man apprehend a kinsman of his father’s house:‘You have a tunic: be our leader and take charge of this ruin!’ But he will raise [his hand]in that day and swear, ‘I am no physician. There is neither food nor clothing in my house; you cannot make me a leader of the people’” (Isaiah 3:1, 4, 6–7)."

Our Current Situation
Many of us can see what is happening to the world and in America. In America, our culture  - built on the foundation of biblical liberty under a covenant with God  - is being assaulted on multiple fronts breeding social chaos and confusion. From gender and identity confusion, an invasion of unassimilated immigrants, media confusion and propaganda, and the massive corruption of government spending, we are a nation in a battle for America's survival. Consider this short video from CBN.

Isaiah Predicts a Foreign Invasion
The result of suffering a social collapse is the invasion of a foreign power.

Dr. Gileadi -

"Just as the names Babylon and Zion, Assyria and Egypt act as codenames Isaiah uses to designate end-time nations and entities, so “Judea” and “Jerusalem” act as codenames of those who profess to be God’s end-time people. Their corrupt state and internal collapse lead to foreign invasion: “Your land is ruined, your cities burned with fire; your native soil is devoured by aliens in your presence, laid waste at its takeover by foreigners” (Isaiah 1:7). All is not lost, however, as a repentant remnant of God’s people escapes destruction: “Had not Jehovah of Hosts left us a few survivors, we should have been as Sodom or become like Gomorrah” (Isaiah 1:9)."

​Moses' and Malachi's Prophetic Warnings
Both Moses and Malachi warn us to turn back to the law when we see these calamities come upon us. Malachi adds that God will send His Endtime Elijah to turn us back to the Law.

Moses -
"And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath driven thee, And shalt return unto the Lord thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul; That then the Lord thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath scattered thee." - Deu 30:1-3

Malachi -
"Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse." - Malachi 4:4-6


Responding to Endtime Crises and Chaos
Many believers have misinterpreted scripture promoting a "pre-tribulation rapture"  as their salvation from the calamity of Endtime events. What they don't understand is that God will prove those who are committed to Him down to their core. 

When we consider how to respond to Endtime tests and events, we will need to heed Moses' and Malachi's warnings and live God's Law that promises His protection.

An excellent resource for beginners are the teachings of Rabbi Steven Berkson. You can find his teachings on the MTOI website.​ Select the image below.

Beyond turning back and living God's Law, we will need to expand your knowledge of the Gospel by understanding Isaiah's Ladder to Heaven that we have presented in this blog. Please note that I will be compiling the posts in this blog into a pdf file for download that may be printed.

​Transcript of CBN video
​A Nation on the Brink: Why is there so much chaos in America right now?

​A nation on the brink, crime unchecked in American cities migrants pouring over the border fentanyl drugs murdering American Youth what or who is behind this effort to unleash chaos on the people of the United States.
 
Well here to provide some insights is former prosecutor Fox News legal analyst and co-host of the five Judge Jeanine Pirro her new book  Crimes Against America: the left's takedown of our Republic.  Judge Jeanine, it's a pleasure to see you again. first a three-year covid pandemic.
 
Now all of this, so why is it happening to America? I think that there's an effort on the part of many people to take down this country to make this country instead of the exceptional blessed nation that it is to turn it into a country where it is not exceptional in any way and where America is last and the people who want to do that are the ideologues and people on the left that we have watched for the last several years try to destroy this nation starting with you know those protests in 2020 when they tried to burn down cities and the mainstream media convinced us oh these are peaceful protests while buildings are burning down behind them.
 
And in your opinion how are immigration and an open Southern border a part of that plan. we are no longer a Sovereign Nation with borders we are nothing more than a globalist landing spot with benefits for anyone who demands that they enter and then demand that they be given the Cornucopia benefits education medication housing and all of the social safety net that we give American citizens and make no mistake I mean we are all immigrants.
 
And no one has a problem with that but most of us I would say pretty much all of us came in legally our families respected the process they swore allegiance to this nation.  my father was a veteran from World War II my grandfather as well and now they come in.  we don't even know who they are you know and governors had to go to court to force the Biden Administration to at least give them an alien registration number because the Biden Administration was simply releasing them en mass into the interior of the United States.
 
So we don't know who's a pedophile who's a drug dealer who's a terrorist, MS-13 gang member, identity thief, a drunk driver who thinks he can beat his wife and you know there are many who come here to work there. but if we don't have the ability to distinguish then how are we to keep American citizens safe.  if we don't have the ability to distinguish how is it that New York City now has thrown kids out of gyms in order to put illegals in those gyms and kids are being forced to literally or figuratively play stck ball in the streets.  so and that doesn't even mention the cartels and being operational at the border fentanyl being you know brought in from China in their undeclared war against the United States imprinted into pills in Mexico where they're laundering money and then divvied up through arteries in the United States.
 
And in your book, you discuss the lockdowns early in the covid pandemic and how that has harmed an entire generation of young Americans.  all of the public schools in this country were closed during covid Catholic schools are open charter schools are open Lutheran schools are open they're open in China they're open in Russia they're studying quantum physics but not our kids they're suffering emotionally psychologically academically. and I start the book Crimes Against America: the lefts take down of our Republic with the fact that so many of our kids who were graduating from school can't even read or write proficiently that is a consequence of teachers not being involved in schooling and reading writing arithmetic but instead involving critical race theory convincing white kids that their supremacists that their oppressors they should feel bad about themselves.
 
and schools now trying to convince our kids that they're of one gender or whatever gender they feel like and that created the whole mess in Virginia which got Glenn Youngkin elected or a parent's daughter or a couple daughter been raped in the girls room in the girls bathroom by a guy who that day identified as a girl and the guy went in and raped the daughter.
 
the parents are outraged they go to a school in Virginia and what happens the police and the school board arrest the parents and then Merrit Garland the head of the Department of Justice the Attorney General says that parents are domestic terrorists and they're a threat to teachers. are you kidding me! this is why I wrote the book Crimes Against America it is why and how the left is taking down this country and they are now they are now embedded with the mainstream media and they have the loudest voices in the room.
 
We're seeing crime skyrocket in some of our big cities in Los Angeles recently bicyclists assaulted a man downtown in broad daylight. many criminals go unpunished and now before calling a grand jury New York DA Alvin Bragg charged former Marine Daniel penny for accidentally choking Jordan Neely to death on a subway.  this is all the left takedown it started when Barack Obama who was a Marxist student of Karl Marx when he said that there's going to be a transformational change in America.  and they defunded the police they denigrated the police and now Americans are left to their own to defend themselves just like that Marine did a week and a half ago on a subway car in New York City when he protected those people in a moving subway car that was locked underground as a schizoid schizophrenic psychotic in the middle of an episode says you know he doesn't care if he goes to jail for life or if he dies.  that tells you he's suicidal and homicidal.  and now they've charged him with manslaughter.  our criminal justice system isn't about Justice it's about political and identity politics it's about weaponizing the justice system what whether it's the Federal Department of Justice or the local DA.
 
And I know what I speak here.  when you've got Soros funded DA's whose job is to let criminals out of jail and tell the victims too bad you had a bad go of it or who were convinced that whatever happened is due to the fact that the criminal had no choice but to brutalize another human being. then we're not going to be that shining City on the hill but Ronald Reagan so eloquently described and we are certainly not going to be America first.
