It's All Happening!!!

IT’S ALL HAPPENING!!!

Yes, “it’s all happening” to quote the patented phrase of my favourite Australian TV Cricket commentator Bill Lawry… in the spiritual realm to be more precise. These words of that legendary Commentator uttered in the climactic stages of a thrilling Cricket match would always further spice up the "thriller"!!! Well...human history as it were is now reaching a climactic stage what with the Global Pandemic (Luke 21:11) portending the imminent Church Rapture shaking up the Whole World (the Advanced Countries boasting of many medical facilities have also not been spared). Even while praying for Divine relief to arrive soon as also for the comfort of many bereaved families, in this message Yours Truly has endeavoured to focus on the technological advances-prophesied accurately in the The Bible- which constitute a part of the Glorification Doctrine of the Church.

Well for the uninitiated in the Christian theology, I would like to state that in Christian faith there are three doctrines…

1. Justification

2.Sanctification and

3.Glorification.

The bare fundamentals of these 3 paramount doctrines can be summarised thus...👇

If Justification is all about a sinner (a child of the devil-John 8:44) being justified (read the relationship with God is set right) by the Blood of Jesus in God’s sight (Col 1:20) and becoming a child of God (John 1:12-13), then Sanctification is all about this new child of God being transformed progressively into the image of God’s Son-Jesus Christ (2 Cor 3:18…with the help of the indwelling Holy Spirit which starts indwelling him from the point of his regeneration). Then readers at this stage may well ask what then is the Glorification doctrine (also known in Christian theological parlance as Eschatology)? Well…

1) it is about this Christ-like Child of God one day physically departing from this World (read dying) and being ushered into Heaven in an ethereal resurrected body to dwell with all the Saints of God in the presence of the Almighty till the time of coming to rule the World along with Christ one day (also known as Second Coming of Christ-Rev 20)

or

2) a) being ethereally transformed (read acquiring the resurrection body in the twinkle of an eye-1 Cor 15:52) in the first phase of Jesus’ Second Coming (also known as the Church Rapture) and being caught-up in the mid-skies to dwell therein for 7 years (during this period the World with a Global villain scripturally known as Anti-Christ at the helm-2 Thess 2:3- would go through a terrible tribulation time with horrific , frequent natural calamities (Rev 6, 8-9, 11,16) causing much more human suffering than what is being induced by present Covid-19 pandemic) before

b) coming to rule the World with Christ one day along with those Saints who had died physically but are in Christ’s presence now clothed with Resurrection bodies.

Well this message of Yours Truly has everything to do with the Glorification doctrine. The Book of Revelation (the last Book in The Bible) is largely eschatological in its outlook giving detailed accounts of what would happen in the 7 year Tribulation period subsequent to the Church Rapture. One of things which would occur during the Tribulation Period is the insistence of Micro-chip implantation in all the bodies of all the people under the realm of Anti-Christ (also known as Man of Lawlessness-2 Thess 2:3) as borne out in the following Scripture portion…

Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave,[a] to be marked *on the right hand or the forehead*, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name-Rev 13:16-17 (ESV)

The Beast (a metamorphic description of a man with seemingly outward good actions but a blasphemous heart inside-Rev 13:1) referred to here is the Anti-Christ and the Mark referred to in the above Scripture portion is nothing but a Micro-chip implanted (in human bodies) facilitating varied transactions in the Global economy of those days including purchase of food. With natural calamities causing severe food shortage in order to monitor the rationing of the food during that time of food scarcity Anti-Christ would insist everyone be “chipped”!!! This chip besides making several transactions very simple (being connected to Global Data Centre…may be at Silicon Valley) would facilitate the World Government (Anti-Christ would extend his sovereignty over several nations) in the matter of ensuring that each family as per its size get’s a proper proportionate share of food as (I reiterate) food shortage (induced by several natural calamities) would reach horrific proportions then. Also at one shot (in the Indian context) microchip would enable the citizens to store information of their Aadhar card, Pan card, Debit and Credit cards, driving licence card etc under the safety of one's skin unlike in a purse where there is a possibility of losing them all at one go. Now with vaccination having started the information whether the person has been vaccinated would also be stored in that microchip.
