Rebellion Against God: The Eternal Error Of The ‘Earth Dweller’:

Throughout the nations today, we see the rage and rebellion of a core group of people.  They go by many names and belong to many different groups, but they all exhibit the same hatred for God, His Word and His people (both Christian and Jewish).  Whatever name they claim for themselves, the Bible also has a name for them: earth dwellers.

To be more specific about the nature of earth dwellers, the first clue as to their character and belief system is found in the word “dwell”.  It is the Greek word katoikeo which refers to their desire to settle down and feel at home.  In other words, their focus and ambition is solely connected to the earth and the pleasures of it.

This hatred of the light is on full display in Revelation 13:6 when the Antichrist and no doubt all of his “earth dwellers” speak blasphemously against God and His “heaven dwellers."  The world and its systems today are largely facilitating a constant supply of vices which appeal to mankind’s debauchery and his hunger for darkness.  Men who love darkness are not going to search for light.

In simple terms, an earth dweller represents each unsaved person at the time of the end who steadfastly continues in his or her rejection of God.  Even though the target of the preaching of the gospel by an angelic messenger is the earth dweller (Revelation 14:6), not a single one will follow after the Lamb.  They will, as Revelation 17:8 testifies, marvel after the beast.

But even though the use of the word “katoikeo” in reference to the earth dwellers is in a negative sense, it is also a term of comfort to believers.  Ephesians 3:17 says: “that Christ may dwell [may settle down and feel at home in] in your hearts through faith.”

Isn’t that amazing?  The heart that was once deceitfully wicked above all things, the heart that was at enmity with God, is the very same heart that, through a saving faith in Christ, is now open to Him in order to settle down and feel at home in.  John 14:23: “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.”

The way I see it, the United States has had it. There is total disarray. The finishing touch will be the Rapture. It will take a little while for the dust to settle before the AC can go to work; I’m thinking perhaps 2 or 3 months. I’m looking for us to be gone very soon for things to be able to proceed. What do you all think?  

Kent, I agree with you, the government of our country is corrupt and has been that way since the 1800s. The government stopped putting "We the People" first. The corrupt government is the mystery Babylon and in 24 days will answer for their crimes. The 25th day is Pentecost and it's a good day for the church to be born and depart this evil world. The first day of the year for Israel, based on Deuteronomy 16, was March 11. That is when the wheat was green (aviv). It was well documented by Christian organizations in Israel, but ignored by their government. God knows when the wheat is green because he makes it green, it doesn't matter what Israel thinks. In the very near future, Israel will meet their true Messiah.
