I was thinking this morning about this blog, small and obscure, and I wondered, could there people at some future point in time who might need to know what I know, after I’m gone. And then I realized this blog will cease to exist because there’ll be no one to pay the annual fee.
Preserving Our Work as Christians
I often record things; my thoughts, the sound of nature, the environment when I hike or go to the pool. I like ambience, it helps me focus and write without the visual distraction.
This got me thinking that maybe I should verbally read and record all my, haha 50?, blog posts. And to back them up somewhere. There are free versions of blog and recording platforms that will remain after I’m no longer here and I wouldn’t have to worry about them going dark if the fees aren’t paid.
But the other thing is censorship. Anything can be taken down at any time. Not to mention shadow bans which are much more sneaky…slowly traffic drifts away.
I wondered, what benefit would there be to create a site that I didn’t try to promote and allow it to lay dormant and hidden? Let it remain a secret?
Then I started thinking about something else, that I keep thinking about.
Censorship and Destruction of Truthful Knowledge
We know that when any anti-Christian power prevails, things get burned, censored and destroyed. (The devil comes not but to steal, kill and destroy.) The devil is constantly trying to destroy all the road signs that his doom is eminent. That leaves very few ways for the word of God to be passed on to those who are left once the Church is raptured. It would have to be the word, or the seed of God’s word, preserving biblical knowledge from the heart, from one person word of mouth to the other. Not in all cases, there will be bibles and notes saved and hidden no doubt.
But for many, there immediate family will be taken and they will be left. These are the ones who will rationalize, finally, that indeed the biblical text was a prophecy and correct. But they are left with no knowledge or very little to move forward into chaos.
Hopefully, the world won’t be so treacherous immediately following the rapture because the Church will still be in the earth and God will not destroy a place until the righteous are taken out. Bibles won’t have been burned and blogs and videos censored. It will give those who are to be saved, ‘even though only as one escaping through the flames’, a chance to gather knowledge of Christ and the prophecies. There will hopefully be time to seek out information if only a small window of time, before the internet is locked down to all things biblical and Christian.
Persecution Will Arise and Get Fierce: The Darkness is Growing
But I don’t know that this will be the case. Much persecution could take place before the Church is removed, and it must be removed before the tribulation period can begin. This means the printing and selling of bibles could become illegal. And don’t try it, or your social credit score will be tanked and your cbdc chip will be locked.
No food for you rebellious troublemakers! With all your love and morality doctrines…
The forces of Darkness and Light are becoming so evidently distinct that even mainstream, once lukewarm Christians are taking notice. The Light is becoming concentrated and brighter, the Narrow Way is making Himself evident to all.
And here’s an interesting thing I’m noticing, even intellectuals are taking notice. It’s almost as if the next move of God will be coming from outside of the Church. There’s no telling what God is up to. The Jews would never have thought God would extend His message outside of their parameters, but He did. Through the Gentiles no less, of all ruthless people, those wild olive branches:)
And yet, here we are. “I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.” John 10.16
Small Footprints Can Still Make a Path
So I’d encourage you, if you also are Christian and you enjoy sharing His word online, think of a few different avenues to use in order to preserve the knowledge and wisdom God has given you. There will be many in the coming years/decades who may find themselves left in the cold and needing what you’ve shared in order to survive.
And you may think, as I do, that’s crazy there are plenty of resources out there. No one is listening now so why bother? But things don’t always work out rationally. And it’s not beyond my imagination that most of the popular well known avenues of biblical resources will be the first to be shut down.
All I know is this: if you’ve also been thinking about this, or what I’ve said resonates with you, it might be a good idea to follow the Spirit’s leading and preserve your work. God knows all, He already sees how all this will play out in the final days. Trust Him and act on faith – the worst that can happen is that you spent time spreading the knowledge of God to a few more platforms across the internet. That’s a positive any which way you look at it.
Because man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
