What do you mean reset?

Whatever “reset” is, everyone seems to be talking about it. Try a “reset” book search on Amazon. You will find that worship is restarting. COVID-19 is resetting us. They have restored grace and prayer. And your diet, oh many diets indeed. Real estate, the internet, and even menopause all reset.

There’s more: the economy, nervous breakdowns, hormones, your child’s brain, wellness exercises, video games, and church. And so on.

None of that is what I intended to cover in this article. I’m talking about a geopolitical reset, a shift of the nations into a form that will match, when all the tossing and shaking is over, the very picture God painted of the end-time world.

I am not imagining myself here. Humanly speaking, the financial part of this restructuring was proposed in May 2000 by Prince Charles of the United Kingdom and Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum (WEF). The idea is to “rebuild the economy in a sustainable way after Covid-19”.

You may believe that Covid-19 was a freak of nature. An accident. You may think that it was deliberately sent by China. Or that the elites got together and planned the spread of this virus to bring down the economic patterns of the world and force a restructuring. It doesn’t really matter what we believe about it right now. Satan is behind it, God is allowing it, and men are using him to demand change. Big changes.

Biden and Trudeau on this side of the pond are all in. We are prepared to “build back better” for a “more responsible capitalism”, they tell us.

They mean socialism. Our new Democratic Party. Our new American-style socialism.

And for a season of grace, only Trump’s America stood in the way of this happening around the world. Incredible time to be alive, it was. Not so surprising at this writing. The plan to restart resurfaces.

But as the topic forms within me, I realize that I needed to talk about more than one reboot. Things will keep changing. There is no static alignment of nations and governments in our foreseeable future.

Men of this world, you have such small vision, such limited resources to see our future. God saw your “reset” before time began. You will bend over and scrape and do everything you can to make the world better. Then you will die. What have you achieved? Why did you give yourself to this?

As a poker player “calls” and “raises”, I see your reset through the eyes of God. I see it, and I propose one: A major restart that will enslave all humanity, based on the efforts that have been made in this generation. What do you say to that? Do you think I’m lying?

Then will come a reset greater than both, the final freedom from their shackles. And more: the wonders of an eternity with God. He doesn’t have anything I want, sir. You are disappointed, myopic and doomed to fail.

However, Reset One seems to be in the process of happening now. The controversial 2020 US election may have meant the end of nationalism and a rapid move towards that world government so desired by the men of this world.

When the world has been reorganized for the first time, the one whom the Bible calls the man of sin, or the antichrist, will take what has been accomplished and call it his own. The lineup may look somewhat similar, but their policies will be so horrible that they’ll look like a second reset.

Third will come the reign of Jesus, when He descends from heaven, resurrects His people, and defeats those nations that have persecuted Him and His people. The long-promised visible kingdom of God will be manifested on earth. Jesus will reign. Reset three is in place.

As I examine the prophets and the last book of the Bible from the Prophet/Apostle John, it is interesting to note the restoration of the concept of “nations”. Jesus will rule the world, but there will still be national groups, all giving their glory in some way to the New Jerusalem and the New Head of it. Nations have been his idea since the first chapters of Genesis.

The fourth reset, eternity, is barely mentioned in the scriptures. There will be a time “after the thousand years” when the brand new heavens and the brand new earth will house a brand new people in brand new ways. We can only speculate.

How many reboots will occur after that, we don’t know. But wonderfully good things will come to those who can only bear the first major changes.

Seat belts fastened! The time seems to be now. Those defeated at the polls in 2020 and before must understand that our battle now is not political, and never was. Politics is God’s business. He raises up one nation, then another, according to his will.

Consider the early church. When did the church enter the political struggle against Nero or other Roman leaders? Against Herod? Pilate?

It was when the church slowly became a political entity, based in Papal Rome, that it lost its vitality, its power. And when the church-state monstrosity finally withheld the Scriptures from the people, the world was plunged into darkness.

Didn’t Jesus say that if the light that is in us is darkness, how great is that darkness? The Gospel and the Scriptures are the light of this world. When the church loses its meaning, its purpose, what is left for the world to see?

Our business is the Gospel. Every member of every nation needs to hear the message of the death and resurrection of Jesus, the forgiveness of sins and the coming of the Kingdom of God into hearts and sight.

Meanwhile, the background noise will get louder and louder. Hang there. God resets are promised and cannot fail.
