TIM BROWN: The Trump Political
Circus, Baphomet & The Curse Of Trans-Delusionals (Video) - Wednesday,
April 5, 2023 13:17 - Well, the Mockingbird media was all too happy to feed
into the frenzy of yesterday’s political circus in New York with former
President Donald Trump starring center stage, and we discovered that for the
next two years, more than likely, we will be subject to this distraction away
from what the DC crime syndicate is actually doing. We’ll talk a bit about that
and then focus some on the idol called Baphomet, which has been showing up more
and more in American culture and how this entity is tied to the trans-delusion
cult we are witnessing taking center stage as well in the Mockingbird media.
We’ll also make sure you understand what the Creator says about all of this and
what His remedy is to it all. https://beforeitsnews.com/u-s-politics/2023/04/the-trump-political-circus-baphomet-the-curse-of-trans-delusionals-video-2602726.html

The Wrath of God – Is it a Myth or a Reality?
by Dr. David R. Reagan
Published on: July 16, 2012
Researched by Pastor Gary Boyd
April 5th 2023
A popular radio talk show host on an
Oklahoma City secular station recently interviewed me live on the air via
telephone. He had seen an article I had written about the financial accountability
of Christian ministries, and he had liked it.
He began the interview by graciously
giving me the opportunity to talk non-stop for about ten minutes about the way
God had transformed my life and called me into the ministry. We then moved on to
a discussion of the scandals that had recently rocked the Christian community
nationwide.
The Unmentionable Word
Everything went well until the host
asked me to summarize the fundamental message of my ministry. I responded by
saying that God had called me to proclaim “the soon return of Jesus in wrath.”
Before I could proceed with my
explanation, the announcer cut me short. “What do you mean, ‘wrath’?” he asked.
“I mean that Jesus is going to return
very soon to pour out the wrath of God upon those who have rejected God’s love
and grace and mercy.”
“Your God is a monster God!” he
snapped. He then added, “I happen to be a Christian, and I can tell you that my
God wouldn’t hurt a flea!”
That was the end of the interview. He
hung up on me. I was not given an opportunity to respond to his blasphemy of
God.
Satan’s Grand Deception
The radio host’s vehement response to
the wrath of God did not surprise me. It is characteristic of both Christians
and non-Christians, and I have encountered it many times.
Satan has sold the world a bill of
goods concerning the nature of God. Most people, both Christian and
non-Christian, tend to view God as being a sort of cosmic teddy bear.
They see Him as big and warm and
soft, full of infinite love and forgiveness. He couldn’t hurt a fly, and He
certainly wouldn’t be so cruel as to condemn or harm any beings created in His
own image. On the Day of Judgment, God will simply give everyone a big hug and
wink at their sins.
The only problem with this
wonderfully comforting image is that it is a lie straight from the pit of Hell.
The True God
Yes, the Bible teaches that God is
loving, patient, caring, and forgiving (Psalms 86:15 and John 3:16). As the
apostle John put it, “God is love” (1 John 4:8).
Two of my favorite passages in the
Bible emphasize the personal loving nature of God. One was penned by the
apostle Peter. In 1 Peter 5:6-7 he says that we are to cast all our anxieties
upon God “because He cares for you.” That is a very comforting thought.
The other passage that I love to read
over and over consists of words spoken by the prophet Jeremiah in Lamentations
3:22-24 (RSV):
“The steadfast love of the Lord
never ceases,
His mercies never come to an end;
They are new every morning;
Great is Thy faithfulness,
‘The Lord is my portion,’ says
my soul,
‘Therefore I will hope in Him.”
But the Bible also clearly teaches
that there is another aspect of God’s character that is equally important. It
is the aspect that Satan wants us to ignore, and he has been very successful in
prompting ministers to overlook it. After all, it doesn’t produce popular
sermons! I’m speaking, of course, of the holiness of God (Leviticus 11:44;
Isaiah 6:3; 1 Peter 1:16).
Grace or Wrath?
The Bible teaches that God is
perfectly holy. Because of this attribute of His character, He cannot tolerate
sin (Numbers 14:18). The Bible says God must deal with sin, and He does so in
one of two ways — either grace or wrath.
Every person on the face of this
earth is at this moment under either the grace of God or the wrath of God.
Jesus Himself made this point in His discourse with Nicodemus.
In the same conversation in which
Jesus spoke the glorious words about God’s love in John 3:16, He also spoke of
God’s wrath in a verse that we like to ignore: “He who believes in the Son has
eternal life, but he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the
wrath of God abides on him” (John 3:36).
The apostle Paul emphasized this
point in his preaching and teaching. In Ephesians 5 he warns against
immorality, covetousness, and idolatry, and then he adds this observation: “Let
no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things, the wrath of
God comes upon the sons of disobedience” (Ephesians 5:6).
We come under God’s grace by placing
our faith in Jesus and appropriating His atoning sacrifice for our lives ( 1
John 1:7). There is no salvation apart from Jesus (Acts 4:10-12). Those who
have rejected God’s free gift of grace in Jesus are under God’s wrath (John
3:36), and they have no one to blame but themselves.
The Coming Wrath
God’s wrath will fall when Jesus
returns (Jude 14-15). The passage in Revelation which pictures the return of
Jesus says that He will return in righteousness to “judge and wage war”
(Revelation 19:11).
The first time Jesus came, He came in
loving compassion with eyes filled with tears. But when He returns, He will
come in vengeance (Revelation 6:12-17), with eyes like a flame of fire
(Revelation 19:12). He will come to destroy the enemies of God (Revelation 19:
11).
The presidents and kings and prime
ministers of the world will get on their knees and cry out for the rocks and
mountains to fall upon them, so great will be the terror of the Lord
(Revelation 6:15-17). The unrighteous will stumble about like blind men, and their
blood will be poured out like dust (Zephaniah 1:17).
The Meaning of Wrath
Does this make God a “monster”? No!
On the contrary, it proves His goodness, for how could a good God ignore the
evil of sin and allow it to go unpunished? His wrath against evil will
demonstrate His righteousness.
The prophet Nahum summed it up best.
Writing of the love of God, he said, “The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day
of trouble, and He knows those who take refuge in Him” (Nahum 1:7). But a few
verses earlier Nahum had also spoken of the holiness of God:
“The Lord is avenging and wrathful.
The Lord takes vengeance on His
adversaries,
And He reserves wrath for His
enemies.
The Lord is slow to anger and great
in power,
And the Lord will by no means leave
the guilty unpunished.”
— Nahum 1:2-3
God’s wrath is never motivated
primarily by a desire to punish. Rather, it is designed to bring people to
repentance so that they might be saved. Even in His wrath, God remembers mercy.
God demonstrates His mercy in wrath
by never pouring out His wrath without warning. He tried to warn Sodom and
Gomorrah through Abraham. He warned Noah’s world through the preaching of Noah
for 120 years. He sent both Jonah and Nahum to warn the pagan city of Ninevah.
Consider too how He sent prophet
after prophet to call the nations of Israel and Judah to repentance:
“And the Lord, the God of their
fathers, sent word to them again and again by His messengers, because He had
compassion on His people and on His dwelling place; but they continually mocked
the messengers of God, despised His words and scoffed at His prophets, until
the wrath of the Lord arose against His people, until there was no remedy.” — 2
Chronicles 36:15-16
God’s mercy in wrath is also
manifested in the fact that He always leads up to His final outpouring of wrath
through a series of progressive judgments. These judgments are outlined in
detail in Deuteronomy 28:15-57.
This characteristic of God’s wrath is
demonstrated in the prophecies concerning the Tribulation. Rather than simply
pouring out His wrath on the rebellious nations of the world, destroying them
in one instant of overwhelming catastrophe, He subjects the world to a series
of judgments that sequentially increase in scope and intensity (Revelation
6,8-9,16).
Although most people refuse to repent
in response to these judgments (Revelation 9:20-21), there is “a great
multitude, which no one could count, from every nation and all tribes and
peoples and tongues” who do repent and respond to Jesus in faith (Revelation 7:9).
These radically different responses
to the wrath of God illustrate the point that is often made by Billy Graham:
“The same sun that melts the butter also hardens the clay.” The wrath of God
melts some hearts in repentance, but it has the effect of hardening the hearts
of many others.
Wrath and the Redeemed
Many Christians respond negatively to
Bible prophecy. It’s not at all unusual to hear a Christian say something like
this: “I don’t want to hear anything about prophecy because it’s too full of
gloom and doom.”
Well, there is a lot of gloom and
doom for those who refuse to respond to God’s gift of love in Jesus. But there
is only good news for the Redeemed.
The Old Testament ends with a passage
that presents both the gloom and the joy of end time prophecy. Malachi says
that when the Lord returns, the day will be “like a furnace; and all the
arrogant and every evildoer will be chaff” (Malachi 4:1). That’s the bad news.
But consider the good news: “But for
you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its
wings; and you will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall”
(Malachi 4:2).
There is no reason for any child of
God to fear the wrath of God. Paul wrote that since we have been justified by
the blood of Christ, “we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him”
(Romans 5:9). And in a most comforting verse, Paul told the Thessalonians that
Jesus will “deliver” the Redeemed “from the wrath to come” (1 Thessalonians
1:10). The reason, Paul explained, is that “God has not destined us for wrath,
but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Thessalonians
5:9).
A Plea
Are you under grace or wrath? The
choice is yours. Jesus is coming soon. When He appears, will He be your Blessed
Hope or your Holy Terror? Will you cry for the mountains to fall upon you? Or,
will you go forth leaping with joy like a calf released from a stall?
God loves you and He wants you to
accept His Son as your Savior so that you will come under grace and can
participate in an event described by Isaiah:
“And the ransomed of the Lord will
return,
And come with joyful shouting to
Zion,
With everlasting joy upon their
heads.
They will find gladness and joy,
And sorrow and sighing will flee
away.”
(Isaiah 35:10)
