JD Farag Bible Prophecy Update

Y
It's sure interesting what with the rumours about the supreme leader in Iran in a coma combined with the rumours that his son was given full power by his father about a month back. IF those are true, it's rough timing for Iran, losing so much of their capability AND their leadership just when they are dialing up their attacks on Israel (and losing their proxies one by one).

Personally I think there's no better time for Israel to take care of business. Israel knows their lives are on the line (even if WE know God won't let them die) and their moment might be now while Trump is waiting in the wings and Biden is creating havoc in Ukraine.
Yeah hopefully they don't dilly dally.

Imagine whilst in a coma the Lord visits the Ayotollah like a Paul in Damascus moment and he wakes up at of his coma denouncing Islam .

What a shockwave in the muslim world that would be !!!

Carolyn Glick had a program last week. Israeli courts decided to tie Netanyahu down. If I recall, he's going to be required to attend hearings, 7-hr days. That's ridiculous when he's directing a war. The court's response was that he has to and if he can't juggle all of that he's unfit for office.
 
Im in the same boat about JD. Listened to his updates for years, but once covid came around, he lost credibility with me, but only on his prophecy updates. 4 years later, at some point in the majority of his updates (if not every one) he still brings up the jab. This, and other conspiracies he brings up led me to not listen to him anymore. However, I do skim through the transcripts of his weekly updates, appreciate parts, learn a few things, and disregard the rest. But when it comes to the gospel, he is excellent.
I have the same view with him. I still love him for everything else but I stopped listening to his prophecy updates. I would still watch his regular sermons if I had more time. He really supports Andy Woods and many of Jd’s church members visits Sugarland to buy one of Andy’s prophecy books.

@Dicv it still brings me comfort to see that cat icon in the forum lobby. Its times like these when I've noticed over the past several days the habits i used to have at JDF in posting. And just noticing that will take some getting used to for a while. Because it was a 4 year habit. Seeing you here and posting is like a torch light along the wall as i travel down a still somewhat unfamiliar walkway. I'm a lot more familiar with CCF than before. But I guess its starting to catch up to me, the patterns of posting at JDF. So thanks again brother for your postings.

One strong reason i was so frequent at JDF was because my views differ so, it was for me reminders too in some of the real dangers associated with our age. And that part of the appeal for me there was to faithfully check myself. And i am also glad too for as we go into some pretty different terrain in 2025, you bring that spirit with you that helps me consider my views. They have not lessoned. But i believe it has been and is super healthy to be able to really take to heart features of our age i don't normally consider as much. So, again thanks.

Right now, in America, we are in a nation showing signs of a massive ship slowly doing an about face. Will it make it enough? Will it make it all the way? Will it end up being a dud? Will it end up being Luciferian Light? I keep these consideration as potentials. It seems kind of surreal right now. But in all honesty, even with my view and all, i find it hard to believe that America would shift all that much. But there does seem to be some writing on the wall for that to absolutely be the case. Just letting you know that even with my view i'm kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop myself...lol. And maybe the greatest awakening for me, is coming out from underneath my own perspectives.

And this may well be the case. I guess we will have to see. But on the merits, after reading that Musk article, I still notice a divide between age of grace and tribulation age. I mean if Musk starts handing out brain chips all over the place, I'm pretty sure something like that would shock me out of my view significantly. But the way this kind of article reads for me in general is one of contrast to a degree.

I know, for those of us here that lean toward an America founded on freemasonry, it is a harder sell to discover that although America did have masons signing on for it, significant themes came from Cyrus (not an overly well known factoid). It would seem that Cyrus's sense of government predated democracy by 300 years (as the Greeks are more known for it starting democracy). What is kind of ironic in that is that a monarch was used in American history to discover how true authentic diplomacy in rule can look like. So in one way, it would seem that the fullness of America's more intimate infrastructure brings the sensibilities of Cyrus rule most to fruition. In perhaps ultimate expression of its democratic stature.

So in that sense there is this curious thing of bringing on an age America might have innately in her inner soul. A rule God used to free Israel from Babylon and permit her rebuild her temple and city. That is just pretty amazing to consider on some levels. Because in my view, what is coming for America (and I feel embarrassed kind of to say because it is rather contrary to any version of mainstream) might be apocalyptic sliver of the 1,000 year reign for Israels sake. Which would not only make America useful in protecting Israel, but Epicentric in its moment for cause. I guess it seems rather (more than counterintuitive) strange after all the end time buzz a boy holding a balloon, and like Oliver asking for "more please" in Oliver Twist, stands up and says, "Excuse me sir, but i think America will be demonstrative in a taste of the 1,000 year-reign." And after, crickets. And deer staring into headlights. Just blinking.

Its interesting to me this is not a discussion anywhere at all, except maybe NAR for really bad reason. I don't even see the Christian Nationalists making a b-line for an argument kind of available for the choosing should any consider that the great glee in God's heart is what comes after the tribulation. And I suppose why that might not be something considered, that He would want to assist in alerting also in this way. If true it would be I guess a sense of what is known in cinema as finding an Easter Egg in the movie -- a surprise moment hidden in the context of the movie but discoverable as one watches the movie. What kind of intrigues me at the moment is the consideration of the monarch angle. America being her most built upon the foundations of the monarch Cyrus. I guess we could ask, and interesting that i've never heard this before (but seems to have an ounce of merit): was Cyrus a "type" for Israel of the 1,000 year reign perhaps? I don't know. I've never heard that before. But it is a curious question. Especially now as the USA has some form of some sense of an upcoming moment to potentially express possibly more of her constitutional wares.

Anywayz...didn't really think i would go here. Or quite this far...lol. See with thoughts like these @Dicv, I'm bound to need a contrast. Or a cup of cold water to go with that. And hopefully not splashed in the face. But we are here now. So its gonna be what its gonna be. Blessings. :)

I'll bite, that is something I've touched on but from the angle that before you get Antiochus Epiphanes- the best OT type of the Antichrist, you have Cyrus.

Cyrus who sets up Israel to return more fully, who helps them rebuild their Temple in 539 BC and dies in 530 BC 9 years later.

which then gets desecrated by Antiochus Epiphanes about 372 years later. Dec 15, 167 BC

Jewish Prophecy has a repeating element in it. You have foreshadowing elements that point to the full prophetic fulfillment.

In order for a Temple to be desecrated (Abomination of Desolation) it first has to be rebuilt.

So If Trump is a type of Cyrus (or perhaps better said, Cyrus might be a type of Trump) then Trump may well establish the right of the Jews in their land (which he already did with Jerusalem, the Golan Heights and parts of the West Bank) and possibly even set up a legal right to rebuild their Temple for the 3rd time

So that the AC can come along to desecrate it in the Abomination of Desolation.

However I will throw cold water all over what I just said because there is a hint by the grammar in Daniel's prophecy of the covenant in Dan 9:27 that suggests the right to build the Temple or the protection to do so is part of that covenant --because both before and after the mention of the covenant is the mention of the Temple or Sanctuary. To a lot of theologians that suggests that the covenant includes permission to rebuild the sanctuary.

BUT IF there is another possible way that this could be fulfilled, it might be in the type of Cyrus coming with permission to build along with settling the Jews more firmly back in their homes.

And perhaps giving permission or legal grounds to begin building the Temple while the AC actually starts the building project by guaranteeing Israel's safety in his
Covenant that Daniel foretells.

So Trump could easily play a role in establishing the legal framework for a Temple rebuild while the AC could guarantee Israel's safety while doing so.

Just a lot of conjecture on my part but a lot of fun to think about.

Maybe Trump could act the way David did.

"David prepared with all his might for the house of my God". (1 Chron. 29)
But Solomon was the one to build it.

Thanks Margery. I understand the connection you are making. It makes sense. I would not see though Cyrus as an AC type though. Because God called him "My Shephard." In those days building a temple meant coming out of God's judgement of exile. So it meant rebuilding what God wanted as His witness in them to the world. It was the Jews who were not as exited over time to do so. Like we find in Malichi and Haggai. But it was under the economy of His mercy toward Israel. And the 3rd temple will be under the preparation of baptism by fire for them. Kind of different economies in how Israel would be housed i guess as it were.

I do see though how your view in its natural trend to Antiochus. Who for sure was an AC type. There is a channel i frequent called Beyond the Fundamentals. It is a pretty far out there approach but understanding that channels history, i understand why they are where they are. On some things i like and some i think are a bridge too far. But one thing i have liked over the years is their statement: "Things that are different are not the same." A hermeneutical principal. And even though we can see things like Israeli adherence to OT law had its place until it didn't (something that is the same but yet now way different), and even though the interesting anomaly with Dan 9:27 understood by some camps to be relating to Christ's first coming and other camps AC...I do believe there are ways to see the most thematic themes of something in their face value of that too...to a degree.

So yeah, we would probably see Cyrus differently. Even though he was Zoroastrian and never recanted that we know of, and even though Pharoah seems to represent Israel in Romans 9 (according to my theological grid--shared by established theological camps as well) i would tend to see a statement testimony from God regarding Cyrus as under the ministry context of things not related to AC by virtue of the Father's testimony seemingly holding more the weight in that respect. But i understand why you might be looking at it as you have expressed.

I'm not so sure Trump will be involved in a 3rd temple status, myself. I tend to think not. But it is totally possible of course, amen. The thing i would imagine more likely is that the temple arrives nearing a time of the two witnesses because its initial start seems to be implied at their arrival in Rev 11 (at least in how i take it). I tend to put more weight on Ez 38 than the temple in light of our current sociopolitical trends. And if that is accurate then it would make sense for the temple to be built after Ez 38. For if it exists before then (and Ez 38 is a near term event) the temple would have surely been attacked severely in Ez 38. Of course there is a potential of it being revived. But i guess i just tend to go with a similarity to WW2...and an interest to help Israel in light of recent calamity. And the temple built from the wake of that. Something the church will not likely see. But just a guess of course.

. . . . .

Something interesting about the associated timeframe of Cyrus, some 10 years or so after his death Zechariah dedicates a portion of chapter 11 to a coming antichrist which seems to be a different coverage of that figure than how Cyrus operated. Yet written within a decade of his activities towards Israel can be noteworthy to a degree. It would seem Cyrus might have been one of the 4 craftsmen in Zech 1. But even if not, maybe Alexander the great. But interpretations vary. What Alexander did was pave the way for a one world language, Greek, for the new testament to be more easily spread (as God He would be giving the mantle of God's speakers on earth to the church--extending language outside the Hebraic camp). Alexander could be seen as the first globalists...lol...but he took steps not to interfere with Isreal. A person of the world we could see as an associated figure of worldly dominance...used for God's extreme good purposes. Nebuchadnezzar could have been a great AC architype had it not been for his repentance and involvement in being involved in an actual chapter of holy writ. So my trajectory commonly will always predominantly echo away from evil models where God might give cause for them to be in proximately to His good purpose. I guess the ultimate of that being my take on seal 1. The ultimate un-AC view on it in a world view that really has no other view pretty much beyond that it is. So i guess this is my lane...lol. Over here...in da peanut gallery :) Cheese :) Or it can kind of feel like that at times.

One last point on this. Ok so i used to be very different than this you guys. I used to be seeing things very much like JD or like another channel i also still respect even though my views have changed: OnPointPreparedness. He is a believer that sees very similar concerns that JD does with Trump. Only Mike at OnPoint is Post Mil. I used to be pre mil but like Mike and like JD. But several things changed for me along the way. Its a long story...lol. But one snapshot highlight is a video production company called Parable that does a lot of videos on America. One i saw called "Is America a Christian Nation." It was two hours. And before i ramble further I will say that i agree with that video that America is not a Christian nation. But for reasons other than that video's.

But in closing here (because it seems i will be on this path until i am not or we get raptured, amen), i literally took 40 hours to research out as far as i could the first hour of that video's claims. And in looking at the public records in detail it became clear to me that there were quite a bit much richer and deeper nuances to the claims that video was making -- which was pretty much indicating America as a cursed and diabolical Babylon the Great like construct and entity. Prior to that i would have seen the statue of liberty as goddess Semiramis and such. But after 40 hours of honest research i started to see huge gapping holes in the videos presentation. And it started to seem like a whisperer over there in the corner spewing mischief in how to view a nation's history. Kind of spooky actually.

At that point, i had no interest to dive further into the second hour because what I discovered by that point seem to point to the vidoes significant use of a hand full of fairy tale like anecdotes. But boy oh boy did it sound convincing had i not the time to take endless meticulous objective notes of 40 hours of getting at the core and root elements considered in that video. After that it kind of reminds me of the authority in Phil 4:8. Because i had the evidence in my lap to see kind of the Ronald Feagan popular saying: The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so. Borrowing that, it super applied to that video and some trends similar out there in the watcher world realm. So yeah i'm over here in the peanut gallery, but at heart Parablian. I guess. Because the thing that turned me from never a single thought of end times to, "Wait a minute???" Was the Gotthard Tunnel opening performance video. And my next turn was a journey through the Christian music industry -- for example with Michael W. Smith using Rune symbols and Amy Grant's wink toward white witchdom...yeah we do have Babylonia. And she is our neighbor. And good to be awake and discern. Which is the best, amen, any of us can do. Thanks for sharing and letting me share as well dear sister. Blessings.
 
Just to clarify, I don't see Cyrus (or Trump) as any type of the Antichrist. Cyrus and Trump are both benefactors to Israel - building up Israel and in Trump's case a possibility of the Temple,

while Antiochus and the AC are enemies of Israel and similar to each other in that both desecrate the Temple of their time and both hate the Jews and persecute them.

Just as Cyrus comes before Antiochus, so Trump comes before the AC. Even if Trump doesn't build the Temple - GREAT POINT @Kaatje but merely creates a legal opening to do so in future, he has fulfilled a type of Cyrus by helping the Jews reclaim territory.

The thing i would imagine more likely is that the temple arrives nearing a time of the two witnesses because its initial start seems to be implied at their arrival in Rev 11 (at least in how i take it).

I like your train of thought there. YES it DOES make sense to put the Temple building after the possible earthquake in Ez 38/39. That would be especially likely if it's part of the AC's covenant. (if the Temple Mount loses all "walls" that might mean all the buildings currently on the Temple Mount have been shattered by God in the quake, making it open to building on)

(I think in probabilities, so I entertain several possible ways the Temple could be built - in a ranked order of probability and I actually assign a higher probability of the Temple being rebuilt after the Rapture, in the period after the great quake of Ezek 38 and quite probably as part of the Covenant with the AC in the aftermath of Ez 38. I play with the possibilities like trying out puzzle pieces in a puzzle- does it fit here or there? I keep a lower probability (still possible though) that it will be built before Ezek 38 perhaps before the Rapture and if Trump follows closely in the pattern of Cyrus it could happen under his presidency.)

With regards to the Temple and Ezek 38- the great quake here, could very well remove the Dome of the Rock and anything else in the way of Israel building her Temple
Ezek 38: 18-20
18 This is what will happen in that day: When Gog attacks the land of Israel, my hot anger will be aroused, declares the Sovereign Lord.

19 In my zeal and fiery wrath I declare that at that time there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel.

20 The fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the beasts of the field, every creature that moves along the ground, and all the people on the face of the earth will tremble at my presence. The mountains will be overturned, the cliffs will crumble and every wall will fall to the ground.

That's going to be some quake. Cliffs crumble, mountains overturned, and every wall falls to the ground. To my way of thinking if the Temple hasn't been built by then, it sure clears the way since the various muslim structures built on the Temple Mount won't withstand that kind of shaking. And after a severe defeat of the largely Muslim invasion of Ez 38 the Muslims should have realized the God of Israel is stronger than their Allah.

Thanks Margery for the clarity. I was a bit confused. But i could see the connections you make with patterns. I think patterns are an important part of prophecy. And when you say "probability" you are singing my song. A word and concept term i probably use too much in general in my own life. But nice to see how it looks on someone else. It looks good on you :) Blessings.

Hmm, I am careful to link Trump as Cyrus. Thanks to NARly Lance Wallnau declaring Trump as 45th President because he ripped Isaiah Chapter 45 out of bible.

Those NARly apostles and prophets are jumping for joy now because they will claim God validated their prophecies. More sheep will be fleeced over $$$ and false teachings.

@TCC , you can read Isaiah 47 since Trump is incoming next year. Haaa.....

Another interesting take, someone observed Trump's cabinet appointments are mainly pro-Israel which makes him think that Trump will Make Israel Great Again (MIGA) not MAGA. The MAGAdonians will not be happy to hear this, LOL.

Throwback video that I did on Alan Didio... I'm noticing that he's being welcomed (and defended) more and more into the non-charismatic circles, similar to Jonathan Cahn who I also warn to stay away from. These men are being allowed into a whole new community and they're bringing the false mystery religion with them. We are called to separate from the world, not embrace it. Be aware of who is being allowed into your backyard.

I appreciate the concern brother. We do see things rather differently. Because NAR falsely makes Cyrus references does not mean Cyrus may mean nothing today prophetically. I am not saying for sure. But America was predicated upon several governance themes of his. And if that is related to our day, it would be for cause relating historically to over 200 years before NAR existed.

The way I would see this is that just because NAR uses Cyrus in an idolatrous way, does not mean they own the interpretation of how Cyrus might actually relate to our day, or not. I see a great connection of Cyrus and the USA. In one sense I could ask, “What is harder to say, that Israel has been protected by the USA for the length of its existence and in this way has been protected by a governmental ancestor of Cyrus (the USA), or that NAR owns every interpretation of Cyrus echo by virtue, or lack thereof of their flawed theology?” I would choose the former. Because I don’t believe we should rule out biblical themes that may have merit just because a fringe group of people get any potentially relevant connection wrong. I would see doing that as two wings of the same bird though.

On one hand, NAR stresses how they look at things as though it were coming from God prophetically. While, on the other hand, some segments of the watcher movement that are not NAR claim their perspectives too are the prophetically correct view. Like I said, I do appreciate the concern. But I don’t subscribe to either extreme. But I do take into account a two-wings of the same observation in how in general the church is looking at things. And my discoverings along the way suggest to me that both extremes are inaccurate.

What I would make of a Trump/Cyrus connection, or the fact that Israel also lauds Trump in this way not to be false prophecy. As much as symptom highlighting Trump. Not that the way NAR looks at it is accurate. But just that the drama surrounding and the emphasis on Trump to be more so a social artifact of our day.

The concern against NAR claims is understandable. For many reasons, I agree. But our concern in greater part with NAR is their dismissal of a coming tribulation and an embracing of post mil/amil. When they see Cyrus they see a seven mountain mandate by which to welcome Christ’s return without a tribulation. They connect Cyrus to the value they see they are (their sense of being the church). When I see Cyrus connections I see it as relating to the millennial kingdom. Not because there is no tribulation. But because in God’s good character, the 1st seal may be a small taste of the millennial kingdom for Israel’s sake.

These are very different values. NAR values their worth in our age. While implications to Cyrus seem to point more toward the value of Israel. And that, on steroids. So I understand how my thinking the world gets an apocalyptic taste of the kingdom to come could look very much like how NAR sees Cyrus. But its apples and oranges. I believe it is error for the church not to see that. Or at least consider it. That view of course may not be accurate. But the very reason we are having this conversation kind of testifies to that. Because of the unprecedented gravity of opinion that surrounds Trump. To have such strong views pro or con toward him, infers to me the nature of Trump as a polarizing figure by fiat. And that level of approximation to such a man, to me, suggests him being a lightening rod for attention.

I believe the church has a very important role in the age of grace last days. But I would suggest that what might be coming might look a whole lot like what NAR is thinking. Not that God would grant false prophecy. But rather transcend it and use NAR as a mirror of sorts for the more sound church to also reflect. A reflection that accentuates the dismissal of the church’s role in coming days. In other words, a reflection that perhaps signals how the church does not exactly fit in what is likely coming not too many days from now. In this way I would view NAR as a testimony how the church does not match the soon coming age.

I guess I would see it as a humbling of the church of sorts. To perhaps see “some” things occur that “seems” to line up with NAR. Ultimately it does not line up with. But in the ways permitted that it might seems to imply a question: “Why would God allow false teachers to get such a measure of end time roll out perhaps more accurate than the sound church?” And I think that is the right question. Because it would then likely mean an implication that God on some levels would want the sound church to ask. And the answer would seem to mean that perhaps we were not listening so much. Not out of spite. More so out of mercy I think.

It kind of reminds me of the Steve Lawson phenomenon. Lawson is guilty of his sin. But it is becoming a mercy for the reformed church to consider what they believe they might not be getting right. Because what is being slowly and so very tenderly from Him revealed, is that the American reformed faith is caught in their lack of the soundest biblical leadership infrastructure. It would seem God is allowing the massive holes in the restoration system of the reformed American church to be exposed (judgement comes upon the church first… we in general are not without error). So like in that analogy, Lawson would be NAR. And the sober minded church the reformed leadership. Putting aside notions of a great awakening, God is allowing things to be uncovered.

In closing, I will demonstrate a very difficult concept. And this portion of my post will likely be the most difficult. I am aware my words here will likely not share agreement by most. Much less what I am about to say here. And admittedly I could be in error in looking at things this way. If I am, I am sure it be seen likely as gross error… lol. But in light of more to be revealed that changes things, this view expressed, although raw, seems to have a reasonable measure of merit – dispite I am sure what it otherwise sounds like… lol. Because if I did not think along these lines for what I perceive to be cause, I would likely not give what I am sharing here much credence. So its cool. I am not posting this to convince. I’m posting this because I find it odd that the interim years of Trump’s presidencies, I was posting for 4 years on JDF, and now Trump is re-elected. And in God’s grace affording that, before it is to happen… if it happens. It’s just on my heart I reckon.

. . . . .

In the days of Trumps last presidency, Trump visited a church out of the blue after golfing. And asked the pastor to pray for him. It was an odd move. At the time David Platt was known for being a woke pastor. So it did cause some small stir. But what I find incredibly ironic about that is that it turns out a documentary recently came out showing how David Platt pulled a hostile takeover of that church. And used it for Southern Baptist money laundering. It was kind of like Trump meets the criminal syndicate church asking for prayer. And I see that to a degree metaphoric. In that God, the authority above all authorities, uses government to tap on the church shoulder. Almost possibly poetic in highlighting the Grand Shot Caller above in the authority over and above a church age gone rogue. In that metaphor, God who ordains government would be Trump. That might sound quite a bit too far. But regardless what we think, He is that authority over authorities And in proper context, that is a good reminder. Blessings.
 
At the time David Platt was known for being a woke pastor.
I would never have considered David Platt as a woke pastor, brother. His books such as Radical, Counter Culture and Follow Me? challenged me, both as a Christian and a minister. He challenged the prevailing ethos in the church today-- which is too often a spirit of contentment and comfortability. Truly following Christ requires a radical mindset, a focus on the value of people's souls above all, and the willingness to lay down one's life to follow Christ wherever he leads.

Pastor, thanks for sharing this. I have not read his material. And no doubt a man of Platt's calibur will write some profound and helpful things. I used to be a huge Tim Keller fan. In the face of a super conservative church who for the most part was not having it. Although Keller was considred a social justice warrior (and with some a Marxist) that did not bother me too much because I had heard literally hundreds of his sermons and learned quite a bit. It turned out to be that he believed in evolution that gave me second thoughts. I don't actually mind if CRT on some level is addressed from the pulpit. I believe CRT does not exactly belong in the pulpit. But because it is a cultural issue in our politics and society, it would be good to consider on some level where CRT might have a point.

At the time of Trumps prayer, David did get some blowback from his congregation over doing so. From what I know of Platt, he may not subscribe to CRT, but he has made overtures to it. Again, for me that is not too much of an issue if he did or does. If the pastorate is genuinely desirous to discover if there is anything on any level real about CRT, I actually think that is a good thing. At the time of Trump's prayer, he was known in several circles as being a social justice warrior. Was that fair to come to that conclusion? Honestly I don't know. The fact he prayed for Trump by surprise had me thinking the CRT concerns were not that much of an issue. But the stigma was there.

Pastor I would go as far as to say if a Pastor wants to be about social justice, then he probably should. Navigating a CRT landscape in one's own honest convictions I believe is commendable. Do I think there is systemic racism? I kind of do actually. But I would not agree that CRT is the answer for it. But that leaves room for a lot of wiggle room, to me it does. If the approach is to shame whitey...yeah...I don't think that has a place in the pulpit though. For its own CRT merit. But even more for the lack of discernment in being led by the spirit of the age. Because CRT is a lapdog of the political left whom I do believe at its core leadership level are Marxists. And since that is the framework that gives CRT its leash, for pastors go along with that (for reason of it being a political influence) would be a "spirit of the age" thing, though, I believe.

I've never read Platt, nor listened to a sermon. But he does strike me as one who leans towards the Russell Moore camp side of the Southern Baptists. And although even with Russell, I would see some contrary things that I might actually like in some ways, he was a force in his authoratative Southern Baptist role that did quite seem to be a man led by the spirit of the age on some significant levels.

I believe there were many who were into Steve Lawson. I even found one of his sermons to be the most helpful on a subject matter verse more than my own home church. But there would be a lot of people asking the question if they should still read Lawson books in light of his fall. I would say if it truly helped someone, he was a very informed man, and for the mercy of God's flock, I believe God would allow profound things to come out of even sinning servants like Lawson. So you know, its a strange age Pastor. Because even though I don't listen to Macarthur anymore, there had been recent times I would. On purpose. With good faith intent. And that even knowing in super great detail how adverse I am to much of his exegetical style. Not expository preaching. I think we should do that. My concerns are more so his approach to how he does it I reckon...lol.

So I think even if Platt is a part time part way CRT supporter, that in and of itself does not invalidate where God has used him. My apologies in that I do come from a kind of foot loose and fancy free orientation of seeing our age as Laodicean. I used to think that a good tree means good teaching. A bad tree means false teaching. But my view has changed quite a bit over the years to more so look like: God will use many who will be off here and there...and maybe even significantly off...and yet still well use them. This is what I have seen over the years. And in general I guess I believe the Laodicean view is not to rest on critical laurels. But rather to see the good in it quite a bit more. But I believe I am so comfortable in that, I may not realize how I might come across to others who may not share that sentiment. And I think it is helpful for me to be better minded in that. So in that way your reply is helpful for me to better consider.

As for Platt though, regardless of if he is woke or not, which is not that big of an issue for me as it might be for some, there has been a recent documentary out about him. And it brings up some genuine concerns I believe. You know, in another feature of my previous analogy, I think there is another way I would look at it too. And I realize my metaphors can be pretty untamed. But maybe Trump went to Platts church to extend an olive branch. If Trump caught wind that Platt might be somewhat woke, maybe Trump was thinking that it would be good to be the president of all the people, even the woke. Maybe a way in which the man might think.

If your interested you might check out the documentary that is out. Its release I believe is fairly recent. But there is quite a bit of chatter online over the years as to whether or not Platt is woke. It wasn't because I just thought it. I really would not have much of an idea. But I thought to include a short and a bit longer video on how Platt was viewed in the more conservative circles in general. From my standpoint. Well there is one 13 minute video and one closer to an hour both from 3 years ago.



I admire the quality of heart brother in sharing your honest observation. And I will take this moment as edification in the sense of being more mindful about how I might share things. Because if someone today for example is benefiting from Platts ministry and that is how God is moving in that persons life, no documentary or online CRT chatter should be something to take anyone away from the things that are sound that they are learning. Because their relationship is with God. Blessings.

I appreciate you sharing your insights on David Platt. I haven't read his books that I assume are from an earlier phase of his ministry.

There are a few pastors who I'm cautious with due to the social justice movement. That seems to derail the gospel presentation and biblical teaching.

When I first got saved I wasn't attending any church and had no Christian friends so I went to my library to see what was there. I ended up watching a series by Rob Bell - who would later dive into false teaching.

We need to keep the good pastors like Adrian, Andy Woods, and whole ministries like One for Israel in prayer.
