What Will 2021 Behold?
The CHRIST Culture Blog | January, 2021 | Rev. Dr. Carole Hulslander
2020 will be recorded in all bona fide historical records as the “Year of Insanity.” 2020 began with a pandemic but ended with a Bethlehem star! Now the question that fills our hearts; What will 2021 behold?
First, the enemy’s message that “Everyone should do what is right in her or his own eyes (Judges 17:6) has gained acceptance. Attached to this deception is a “feel good” message of self-righteousness that sounds something like this: “If you refuse to be guided by any religion’s ideology but stand for what you think is right; you are “dead on!” The attempt to prevent people coming together as a CHRIST’s culture, HIS Church, and learning to love each other, making them true disciples of CHRIST, is still the main target for the enemy.
Behold, in 2021 even more Churches will be attacked and closed. Many continue to live their lives “doing what they think is right” yet still proclaiming they are CHRISTians, all while possessing no awareness of what CHRIST taught as right or acceptable to HIM. Those caught in this lie will hide alone, deceived and disconnected from others, not able to really trust anyone. But behold, CHRIST confirms that those who cling to HIM will grow in love for HIM and therefore each other- and the enemy will be astounded with their strength and joy!
Second, the enemy has gained control of the culture’s news media, High-Tech Social Platforms, Universities, Public schools and Government officials, along with Hollywood, and are spreading the corrupt desires of the people who are “believing and doing what they see as right in their own eyes.” The enemy’s next step is to get these same people to be addicted to the emotional rewards of hate and self-righteousness while calling it by other names such as victimization, racism, even made-up words to place in front of the word-phobic. This tactic is to silence and to do away with any idea that might lead to real open conversation. The results are people living in fear of saying the wrong thing or even saying it in the wrong way. This has caused more separation and hiding from real relationships, real solutions.
Behold, in 2021 the free speech movement will grow, and CHRIST culture is among those who are leading this movement. We want to be free to search for truth, to gather to ask questions and share the excitement of new findings and ideas! The HOLY SPRIT amidst HIS people will give knowledge and wisdom in many areas, but especially in theology, prophecy, and science.
Third, the enemy is poisoning those who consider themselves “elite” with dreams of power over those they deem as “untermenschen” ("inferior people.") People are considered thusly if they disagree with the establishment -this is now the enemy’s culture. The “elite” have begun to take over the official seats of power on all levels so that many choose to submit to whatever is required. Many have agreed to giving up their faith in JESUS and their Spiritual gifts and of course their Constitutional rights and now live as scared animals because they have a new “god” who will destroy their reputations, their livelihood, their families and even kill them if they are not in agreement.
Behold, in 2021 the “elite” will be brought down but their riches will open an escape for them. They will continue to send out propaganda and resources to destroy anyone not living in fear of their power. The love of money will once again cause many to fall and bring grief to us. But CHRIST will bring forth HIS faithful servants of many years to cause shame to fall on the “elite” and they will be revealed, unmasked for who they serve.
Fourth- Public schools and Higher Education, with the aid of gaming joining with social media have changed the physical and spiritual structure of the brains of those addicted and they are no longer free thinkers. They will go to sleep if not stimulated with gaming or on social media. Their anger will be out of control if they are denied access to their new indoctrination and their anger will come all at once and surprise their loved ones. Families are losing their children, and some are not yet aware of it.
Behold, in 2021 parents and loved ones of faith will begin to free their children from the control of smooth, stimulated darkness. This will be like a war, but it will prevent many from losing their children and so much worse - their children losing their eternal life.
Fifth-The destruction of our young people as we sent them with hope to our higher educational institutions; the leadership awaits them with sly indoctrination and hate. When these students return home, they bring their dysfunction and their destruction with them.
Behold, in 2021 some young people will stand strong against the establishment and once again reflect the love for JESUS, their country and their families and return to strengthen the weak, bringing hope and restoration with them.
Sixth- this pandemic has revealed the greatest fear of many: death. This fear allows the new cultural rulers to exact complete submission. Therefore, covering their faces in shame, they run in breathless fear to stay one step ahead of that final darkness, not aware that the darkness has secured a throne inside them.
But behold, 2021 the faithful will know the truth that sets free those caught in fear of death! For we who believe in CHRIST are already dead and live now a new life, and HE will call our name and raise us to be HIS disciples and then to eternal life!
Seventh-just as 2020 began in fear of death with a pandemic and one birth pain after another, people gave up their rights and concerns believing they were doing so to prevent a deadly disease only to find out it was not as deadly as the propaganda taught. Even as many doctors and nurses attempted to spread the truth, they were shut-up and attacked. Control and submission were demanded and it was all to prepare us for more of the Communist re-set or State Capitalism, as it is called.
Behold, 2020 ends with a star that reminds us of new life, the one who slept in a manager and the one who fills the throne of heaven today! While humans are concerned with the rulers of earth - as we should be - make no mistake; CHRISTian's hearts are focused on the throne of heaven. As we battle against the forces of evil to bring everything to the feet of our KING JESUS! We remember HIS promise:
Those who overcome, I will grant to them to sit down with ME on MY throne, as I also overcame and sat down with MY AVI on HIS throne.
Revelation 3:21
2021 will be filled with the excitement of HIS throne and HIS strength revealed in our JOY! HIS Church will be victories over the gates of hell for this is CHRIST Culture!
