Charlie Kirk’s going to be with the Lord in such dramatic fashion, I believe, is a profound prophetic marker at the end of this quickly fleeting Age of Grace. I believe what happened might indicate that a prophetic division might have been set in motion by the assassination that took place before the eyes of all the world in terms of its aftereffects.
A divine division, it seems to me, was possibly initiated in some prophetically scheduled way with that shot heard and seen around the world. I’ll try to explain.
Evidence of this specific hour in history fits the time Jesus and the prophets described when God will begin bringing the end of one age to an end and the next into being. The end of this age, the Age of Grace, and the start of the next era, the Tribulation, looks to be almost certainly at hand. Jesus could call all believers into His presence at any moment.
Those who are spiritually attuned to all that has been transpiring over recent years, months, weeks, and days sense that Heaven’s judgment is poised ominously above the earth. The evil, the absolute wickedness, cannot be dismissed as simply being things as usual, even though life in general continues seemingly as normal.
It seems to me that the Charlie Kirk murder, witnessed by entire populations of the world through cyberspace platforms, has resulted, through divine arrangement, in dividing those who want God’s order from those who want no part of it.
This divine division, I believe, involves particularly the young adults of this judgment-bound planet. These, I mean, are those of Gen Z. Of course, it involves many more and diverse ages than those, but these are the most vociferous in expressing their emotions following the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
On the one hand, the young continue to cheer in the most hate-filled and vulgar terms imaginable, applauding the bloody death of the man who engaged them in debate about their anti-God beliefs and comportment. On the other hand, there is a sudden, explosive movement by the young in support of all that Charlie Kirk championed—many expressing newfound understanding of and belief in what Charlie taught about His Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
The mainstream news and entertainment media—which was, for a hesitating moment, somewhat unsure of how to report all attendant to the Kirk death—has now recovered its anti-God balance, and I suspect we can expect these to soon return to supportive incitement of the young haters—spewing lies and angry rhetoric against both the godly things Charlie Kirk tried to get across to the young audiences in his reasoned debates with them and, of course, against anything and everything involving Donald Trump’s efforts to govern.
However, there is a growing sense that the evil intended in this assassination of a man who professed Jesus Christ as the answer to all that’s wrong with America and the world, God will use for good.
And it is the divine dividing line, as part of that good God intends, that I think we could be witnessing as the Rapture of the Church approaches.
The Lord has used such dividing in the past to separate those who want His governance from those who want no part of divine order.
Perhaps the most relevant to today’s rebellion against God’s order is found in the book of Numbers.
Moses was leading Israel and was told by God to follow His order in doing things that would move His program for the nation forward. Korah, a man who was charged with bringing the people in line with God’s order, rather than doing so, did all he could to prevent Moses from following what God commanded.
The Lord told Moses to tell Korah to obey or face God’s anger. Korah refused and complained bitterly that God had led the people out of the land of milk and honey to die horrible deaths in the wilderness.
Following Moses’ declaration of the Lord’s command and Korah’s refusal to follow, God’s divine dividing of the obedient from the rebels was executed forthwith.
And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them: And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods. They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation. (Numbers 16:31–33)
It is true that God was dealing with His chosen people in the case of this rebellion against His divine order. But Israel is a Heaven-ordained archetype for God’s dealings with all of humankind. Rebellion against Almighty God will always result in a divine cleavage of the good from the bad—the obedient from the disobedient.
There is coming such a dividing, and I believe we are seeing the beginning of divine preparation for that division. It is God’s dividing line I believe we are seeing being drawn.
In a sense, people today are being told, as Joshua told the Israelites millennia ago: “Choose you this day whom you will serve” (Joshua 24:15).
We are seeing God’s order in the process of being issued to humanity, I believe, in this turbulent time following the bloody slaying of Charlie Kirk. It is particularly being manifested within the great masses of the youth whose passions are in full-blown turning to God or else turning angrily away from His order in these last days of this Age of Grace. The divine demarcation is becoming clearer by the hour—God’s end-times dividing line.
Whether you are of Gen Z or a different vintage, here is the only Way to be obedient to the God who is on the prophetic verge of having to judge all rebels during the coming Tribulation:
That if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10:9–10)
Amen! Maranatha Lord Jesus!
Good observation. Terry, I wish you’d establish a Substack presence. It’s much more interactive and many could use your perspectives and insights. Just something to consider…
I’ve said to a number of Christian friends that I believe Charlie Kirk’s ministry and murder are part of God’s final wake up call, especially toward the youth in our world. I call these young people the Covid Generation, and many have been trapped in the pervasive darkness that has spread since early 2020.
Everything that is underway is not coincidence, it is all God’s sovereign plan.
Maranatha!
Yes Terry you are entirely correct. What used to be a line in the sand dividing the followers of Christ from the Godless, morphed into the furrow left by a plow share.That furrow then became a ditch as seen along a county highway.The ditch became a washout or wadi that form in parched desert regions where this is very little water. That wadi has now become the size of the Grand Canyon. where the divide is so wide and deep that there is no middle of the road ground.(nor has there ever been) But now the divide is so pronounced that eventhe unbeliever can see it, and know that something is amiss. Thanks again for the article Terry, greatly appreciated. Lord BlessMark
Great analogy Mark, you are spot on!
Well written Terry!
I am a service technician, and I have noticed that just about every device has some sort of service or operator’s manual. Humankind are no different. God’s gift to His creation was a guide we call the Bible, a book for us about His Son:
2 Peter 1:3
“According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue”
What people do with this Book, and with His Son, will matter for eternity.
The line in the sand has never been clearer. Choose your side, human.
Jesus is life and light.
John 8:12
“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
Reject Him at your peril.
I am reminded of an old hymn:
Someday you’ll hear God’s final call to you
To take His offer of salvation true
This could be it my friend if you but knew
God’s final call God’s final call
How can you live another day in sin
Thinking some day with Christ you will begin
O will you hear above the world’s loud din
God’s final call God’s final call
If you reject God’s final call of grace
You’ll have no chance your footsteps to retrace
All hope will then be gone
And doom you’ll face
O hear His call God’s final call
Indeed, there is a dividing line being established between true believers, N.A.R. (New Apostolic Reformation) apostates and their Dominionist (Turning Point USA) companions. The later portion has permeated social media with false prophets claiming dreams and visions of the Rapture and elevating individuals as Messianic figures.
I truly believe these organizations are seeking to create and establish the One World Religion. The evidence is clear as thousands of professing Christians were deceived by one man in abandoning the Truth of God’s Word and following a lie.
