PURGATION: THE DAY THAT GOD CAME FIRST

Something emanated from the previous century...................

Purgation is the "Day of the Lord"; the period of life that comes upon all to turn them from selfcenteredness to God centeredness. The outward visible sign of this "Day" is the initiation of pervasive, world wide rebellion-a universal throwing off of what was formerly built in, or inherent in humans, an inward "self restraint".

2 Thess.2:1,2,3,6,7,8,9,10,11"But we request you brethren,-in behalf of the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ......that you not be quickly tossed in your mind nor be put in alarm-either by discourse or by letter as by us,- that the Day of the Lord has set in.......because that Day will not set in-EXCEPT THE REVOLT COME FIRST......AND WHAT NOW RESTRAINES YOU KNOW, to the end that he may be revealed in his own time(he and his is the adversary), for the secret of lawlessness already is inwardly working itself,-only UNTIL HE THAT RESTRAINS AT PRESENT SHALL BE GONE OUT OF THE MIDST (of those individuals rebelling), and then shall be revealed the lawless one...whose presence shall be according to an inworking of satan.....and with all manner of deceit of unrighteousness IN THEM WHO ARE DESTROYING THEMSELVES, because the love of the truth they did not welcome that they might be saved;-and for this cause, God sends them an inworking of error, to the end they should believe in the falsehood (they will actually believe good is evil and vice versa),-in order that all should be judged who would not believe in the truth, but were well pleased with the unrighteousness"

Ps2:1-5"Wherefore have the nations assembled in tumult? Or should peoples mutter an empty thing? The kings of the earth take their station and grave men have met by appointment together against Yahweh and against His Anointed One, saying, LET US BREAK ASUNDER THEIR BONDS AND CAST FROM US THEIR CORDS! (of restraint). He that sits in the heavens shall laugh,- my Lord will mock at them; then He will SPEAK TO THEM IN HIS ANGER, AND IN HIS WRATH CONFOUND THEM......"

There was a "bubble"- a small and limited manifestation of this rebellion/throwing off of restraint in the teens and into the thirties of the last century, but World War II cut it off. It began in earnest in the 1960's and continues unabated up to the present day. So now we know what age we are in and can "pinpoint" our "position" in history. We are in the purgation/purifying stage of God's purposes in history.

The synptoms of this rebellion/throwing off restraint are too numerous to mention here. Some examples have already been written of in previous posts, such as the male/female role reversal/Jezebel feminazi stuff; the throwing off of all former moral standards and a flaunting, in-your-face immorality in it's place. By this they think they are free-evil has become good to them. The calling of noise made with instruments and voices as music, and the hands-in-the-air worship of those "performing" it.

The whole culture is in a headlong rush to commit suicide because of it's self hatred which the Psalmist calls, "the anger/wrath of God speaking to them". God is not "zapping" them with anger, but the anger is within them causing their own self destructive behavior. Another system is of course the wholesale, government/court sanctioned murder of innocents in the womb. There have been such things for centuries, but not the millions that have been done in this country since "roe v wade". This murder of innocents has it's opposite reaction in a fanatical, death worshipping religion-Islam- which has no compunction by ALSO murdering "innocents" by acts of terrorism- such acts being it's version of "calling evil a good thing". The people involved in the "baby-in-the-womb-murder-industry", do the same thing as the terrorists and male school/work place murderers do. The former don't see the parallel, being blind in their own hypocracy.

All these things are the results of the "climax" or peak of self centeredness in the earth. It is the necessary process in order to bring about "God centeredness" in the earth. This is why the Psalmist says that God laughs and mocks them, because He knows what the ultimate result of all this rebellion will be, for the consequences of it will bring about it's own correction and transformation into God centeredness. However, because selfcenteredness is in ultimate extremity, the transformation causes GREAT TRIBULATION in those involved in it.
The effects of this occur in the physical body as sickness and disease; psychologically in the mind and emotions with depression and mental illness, extreme mood swings, etc. An offshoot of this is man's attempt-his "running to and fro" of Dan 12:4-to find drugs to heal and suppress symptoms of which his own conduct is the cause of.

Zephaniah1:14-17" Near is the great day of Yahweh, near and very speedy,- the NOISE of the day of Yahweh; A strong man-there! Bitterly crying out! (an example of it's effects) A day of indignation-that day! Day of danger and distress; day of rush and crash; day of obscurity and deep gloom (they won't understand what's happening to them); Day of cloud and thick darkness; day of horn and war shout- AGAINST THE FORTIFIED CITIES; AGAINST THE HIGH TOWERS (high, God resisting, mental fortifications erected over the years to "keep the idea of God away"- cities are symbolic of the mind)And I will bring distress to mankind and they shall walk like them who are blind, because against Yahweh have they sinned......."
