“Oh, the unspeakable greatness of that exchange,—the Sinless One is condemned, and he who is guilty goes free; the Blessing bears the curse, and the cursed is brought into blessing; the Life dies, and the dead live; the Glory is whelmed in darkness, and he who knew nothing but confusion of face is clothed with glory.”

The beast's 8th head arising

"There shall be wars and rumours of wars."

What we've seen in Minneapolis is very upsetting. Is it a fulfillment of Matthew 24? Of course, not in the fullest sense. But what is it then?

It's easy to get apocalyptic when major uprisings occur. From my great, great grandmother nine generations ago,

"Most loving and dear father and mother, my duty with my husband and children presented unto you with all my dear friends. My longing desire is to hear from you, how you're hearts are borne up above these troubles which are come upon us and are coming as we fear; for we have the rumors of war, and that almost every day. Even now we have heard from your island by some Indians, who declared unto us that the French have done some mischief upon the coast, and we have heard that 1200 Frenchmen have joined with the Mohawks to clear the land both of English and of Indians. But I trust in the Lord, if such a thing be intended, that he will not suffer such a thing to be. My desire and prayer to God is, that he will be pleased to fulfill his promise to us, that is, that as in the world we shall have troubles, so in him we shall have peace. The Lord of comfort, comfort your and our hearts, and give us peace in believing and joy in the Holy Ghost. Oh that the Lord would be pleased to fill our hearts with his good spirit, that we may be carried above all these things! and that we may remember his saying, “When ye see these things come to pass, lift up your heads, knowing that your redemption draws nigh.” Then if these things be the certain sign of our Lord’s return, let us mind his command, that is, pray always that ye may be counted worthy to escape all these things, and to stand before the son of man. Let us have boldness to come unto him in the new and living way which he has prepared for us. Through grace I find the Lord doth bear up the spirits of his in this place, in some comfortable measure to be looking above these things, the Lord increase it more and more unto the day of his appearing, which I hope is at hand. Dear father and mother, the Lord hath been pleased to give us here many sweet and comfortable days of refreshing, which is great cause for thankfulness, and my desire is that we may highly prize it, and you with us give the Lord praise for his benefit. I pray remember my love to all my dear friends with you in fellowship. Sister Sanders desires to be remember to you all, so doth sister Clarke. Your loving daughter, to my power.

Yes, we Burdicks have been getting apocalyptic for 400 years. But that's because we've been faithful to Jesus when He said, "And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch." (Mark13:37).

The church of Christ has been waiting for its Lord  since the day He left. "And when He had spoken these things, while they beheld, He was taken up; and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 11 which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven. " (Acts 1:9-11).

So how can the latest riots be connected to Jesus' second coming?

A writer from an online newspaper recognized the presence of extremist far left (Antifa) and far right groups fueling the aggression on the streets in Minneapolis, los Angeles, New York, et al.

But how could Antifa coordinate with right wing extremist groups? And why would they? Wouldn't those groups naturally fight each other rather than have a common enemy? The online news source gave this possible motivation for both extremist groups:

"Depending on your filter bubble, it could be white nationalists seeking, as Gavin Haynes put it in these pages last week, to give the system “just one final heave-ho before it crumbles” in favour of a new racist utopia. Or if you follow different blue-ticks on Twitter, it’s Antifa creating mayhem in order to bring down Donald Trump." But her article involves a much more complicated picture.

My concern is that the unrest is more than young, hopeful grads having low income jobs with high college debts, or poor uneducated young wanting to see some action. They certainly might easily become pawns for the bigger forces, but what are the bigger forces?  That would leave powerful, very well organized, movers and shakers among both groups.

Might we say that the ongoing mayhem harks back to the French Revolution, and even the
Bolshevik Revolution? If so, then it could be as the online article said, "just one final heave-ho before it crumbles”--before our beloved old America crumbles. 

It was the Jesuits who organized the two revolutions just mentioned. Their powerful efforts were for bringing in the New world order. Hitler's national party and Lenin's socialist party had the same goal. Is this what we're looking at with the recent reign of terror? Is this a hacking away at the old way of life, in preparation for the new imaginery Utopia? Is it the 8th head of the Beast raising it's ugly head, having ascended out of the bottomless pit of hell and going into lawless perdition?

We need to be apocalyptic. And we need to be praying.
