Sing a New Song

My wife and I live in Taiwan—and although they do actually have a few good churches here, the vast majority of Taiwanese churches invariably lean toward some species of salvation by works and other associated doctrinal errors. I can only speculate as to how this came about, but virtually every church in Taiwan—regardless of the name on the door—seems to be of the opinion that "good works" are required to keep a solid grip on one's salvation.

Along similar lines, many Taiwanese Christians also believe (because they have been taught it and accept it without question) that they will stand at the Great White Throne Judgment to learn whether or not they made the cut, so to speak, and will enter heaven. Many believe that if their works fall short and they don't make the cut, they will be sent off to something that has the distinct odor of purgatory, although that word is never used because the Roman Catholics have had dibs on it since the fifteenth century.

 A Blast From the Past: 

The Last Roundup

Countless works have been written on the book of Revelation, and those written by people who see the Rapture as preceding the official launch of the seven-year Tribulation also see multitudes of people coming to faith in Christ during that seven-year period. These people are not part of the Church, and are often referred to as Tribulation saints.

Two of the clearest references to these people in John's vision in the book of Revelation would be (a) the martyred believers who start showing up in heaven during the fifth seal judgment (Rev. 6:9–11), and (b) those who are saved as a result of the evangelistic efforts of the 144,000 Jewish apostle Pauls that God unleashes on the post-Rapture world between the sixth and seventh seal judgments (Rev. 7:9–12).

Some commentators, however, see people continuing to be saved up until the bloody end of the Tribulation—all through the trumpet and bowl judgments and all the way up to the grand finale at Armageddon. These commentators have God continuing to pour out His mercy on people and draw them into the kingdom up until the final days of the Tribulation, since He is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to a knowledge of the truth (1 Tim. 2:4). In other words, they see no end to God's efforts to bring men to repentance, and they have a comparatively rosy view of God's grace and mercy in drawing people to Him all throughout the Tribulation.

I've been spending time recently in the book of Revelation, however, and I have come to see things differently...and the way I have come to see things is not quite so rosy.

 Weekly Commentary: 

5/6/2025 — From the "Not-Quite-So-Proud" Department...

The month of June is Pride Month, and it is a month that Americans can expect to have six-colored rainbows emblazoned on everything in sight and endless parades of pink-haired people of ambiguous gender marching through every city in the country.

(I mention the six-color thing because the gay rainbow only has six colors, while God's rainbow has seven. The LGBT folks left out one key color.)

Color me surprised.

Up until this year, corporate sponsorship for this full-blown assault on American society had been growing, as companies jumped on the LGBT bandwagon for whatever reason—presumably because they assumed it made them more popular with most average Americans and so made sense in terms of profit. That's where most things like this end with corporate America: $$$.

But this year has been a radical departure from this trend, as many corporations are greatly reducing or flat out canceling such generous financial support for Pride Month and all its attendant activities. This loss of support—which has all the appearances of a solid and growing trend—is leaving the LGBT community scrambling to find other more grassroots-oriented ways to raise money. To which I offer the following heartfelt rejoinder:

Good luck with that.

Of course, if companies jumped on the LGBT bandwagon because they thought it would make them more popular with most average Americans, the fact that they are jumping off that bandwagon sends largely the same message:

It seems that it is beginning to dawn on corporate America that most average people in this country are sick and tired of having the LGBT agenda shoved down their throats everywhere they go, and having their children indoctrinated to support what the majority of people see as a perversion that needs to be kept in check rather than proudly paraded down every Mainstreet in America.

Ya think? I was considering giving you a list of major corporations that have canceled or curtailed their support for Pride Month, but the list is just too long. Suffice to say that it reads like a Who's Who of corporate America.

Of course, as a born-again believer who understands that God's Word clearly and unambiguously condemns homosexual activity as sin, I can't help but find this encouraging. But at the same time, I also know that God's Word clearly and unambiguously tells us this sin-sick world is on track for His judgment, and taking down a few six-colored rainbow flags and seeing fewer parades of pink-haired people of ambiguous gender marching down the streets certainly isn't going to change that.

But that fact doesn't make diminishing support for something as offensive and revolting as Pride Month any less encouraging.
