Information Overload!
Information overload
Daniel 12:4  "But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase."

 

Greetings! 

 

Hope you are well as things continue to increase in momentum on a global basis!  I know that everyone is basically "overloaded" especially with information.  It becomes critical that we discipline ourselves to gather the right information in these days. 

 

In Dan. 12:4 the Lord instructed Daniel to shut up the words and seal the book until the time of the end.  Three times in Daniel God instructs the prophet to seal the prophecy until the time of the end.  Each of these instances it is things revealed to Daniel concerning the anti-christ.  However, in this verse He tells Daniel that many shall run to and fro and knowledge will increase.   These verses are being fulfilled before our very eyes. 

 

We are living in "The Information Age" making this sign seem even more obvious. Even the most skeptical mind must admit that knowledge is exploding in all directions. It is said that 80% percent of the world's total knowledge has been brought forth in the last decade and that 90% percent of all the scientists who have ever lived are alive today.

 

An I-phone has more computer technology in it than the 1969 Apollo 11 lunar landing. 

 

What most Christians are lacking is the correct information in the context of what is prophetically happening to Israel in the light of Scripture and the decisions that need to be made individually and congregationally to prepare us for the days that are quickly approaching. 

 

We have the governments of the world handing out dis-information, news agencies giving us mis-information and Bible teachers giving us false information.  How do we know what to believe?

 

Jesus, Paul, John, Peter, and Jude all warn us about false teachers in the last days.  Jesus' opening words in the Olivet discourse on His second coming start with:   

 

Matt 24:4 And Jesus answered and said to them: "Take heed that no one deceives you.

 

Here we are living in a time with the most information, the greatest deception and the greatest things at stake.   And somehow we are to gather the information and make decisions that navigate the gauntlet of the last of the "last days".

 

In George Barna's new book "Futurecast" he keenly observes these following points:

 

Information is critical for decision making.

 

Information for its own sake is worthless;  valuable information

is that which can be converted into action.

 

Not all information is created equal:  Some is accurate and adds value; some is unreliable and potentially harmful.

 

We cannot make good decisions if we have bad information.

 

More information is not the same as useful information.

 

The earlier in the decision-making process we have good information, the wider our range of options for productive action.

 

Good information improperly or inaccurately interpreted leaves us worse off than if we had no information.

 

Information without context is usually misleading. 

 

Great strategy is built on current and accurate information, placed in a proper context, interpreted within that context, and resulting in specific and targeted behavior.   

 

My specific calling the Lord gave me in a trance in 1980 is to prepare people for the hour that is coming on us in the very near future.  I do this through attempting to keep a hand on the pulse of global events, Islam, Israel, deception in the body of Christ, end time prophetic Scriptures and the current prophecies floating around the church. I prayerfully work through information with a team of people that are committed to the same cause of preparing believers for the "time of Jacob's trouble" or what the Lord called the "great tribulation".  Contrary to some teachers who teach that this time is the wrath of God, we believe it is only a "great tribulation" and not the wrath of God but a time of unprecedented shaking of the heavens and the earth--a time that never was or ever will be again.    

 

Matt 24:21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.

 

As I said in my last email that 5/6th's of the bible is about Israel which is over 83% of our bible and that replacement theology has robbed us of Israelology: The Missing Link in Systematic Theology.  Most leaders have yet to approach the Scriptures from a Hebraic perspective which causes them to unwittingly "misinterpret" end time prophecy through "isogesis".   

 

My call is to equip by sending out in emails, post on the web, doing end time seminars and am involved in Naioth a prophetic end time school in Asia and Israel.   

 

I encourage a reading of Barna's book and want to encourage you to read my emails with relevant topics that will prepare you for the "Great and Terrible day of the Lord".
