Why Philippians 3:20 

In January of 2025, the Lord pointed me towards Philippians. It was during a time that I was experimenting with a type of Biblical study. I don’t remember exactly where I’d read it, but I remember what I got out of the advice. The idea was that it was beneficial to spend a month at a time in a chapter. So I had done so with Ephesians, but I had not done so with anything else. The LORD was pointing me towards Philippians 3:20, and so I proceeded in that manner. For a month, I studied Philippians,  and during this time, the Trump Administration began their transition into power. 

As I studied the Chapter, the LORD placed in my view one particular scripture. One that I read, and have read over and over. As the months progressed, and the Administration continued its process of attacking the concept of citizenship in this country, it occurred to me that the LORD did not select this chapter randomly. There’s a lot of good material in this chapter, but there was one scripture that the LORD kept bringing me back to over and over again. 

“20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,”-Philippians 3:30 

The time is rapidly approaching when we will all have to choose, and we will all have to suffer the consequences of our choices. Some of us have already chosen. Some of us chose a long time ago. And of course, the LORD has chosen since before the beginning of time. It is appropriate that this moment, as it rapidly approaches, takes place in Silicon Valley, among the WORLD CUP of Soccer. Revelations tells us that prior to Christ returning, the world, as a whole, has taken the “Mark of the Beast.” This is indicated by several scriptures. People from “every nation, every tongue, and every tribe,” rejoice at the death of the Two Witnesses. The “Kings of the Earth” gather at Armageddon to confront the Lamb. The Bible generally seems to indicate that the closer we get to Christ’s return, the more things essentially come down to two options. 

Serve Jesus Christ

Or

Serve Satan 

The Bible is a political document. While its central purpose, theme and focus is the RISEN Christ, it also does a great deal to illustrate the mechanics of the relationship between Spiritual Kingdoms and Earthly Kingdoms. This theme emerges in Genesis and plays out all the way to Revelation with the emergence of the final, all encompassing Beast System, and then finally, the Return of the Name Above All Names, the millennial reign, Satan’s short season and finally the New Heaven and the New Earth. 

Throughout all of this, we are constantly pointed to a consistent theme. Never that we must be perfect people, but that we must choose who we serve. And while we may stumble and fall along the road, we are often given a moment. An opportunity to make a definitive choice. 

I believe that the LORD pointed me in this direction, because we are now at that time. We are at the time when the WORLD will have to choose. The WORLD will have to decide what Kingdom it belongs to now and forever. 

Will our savior be found here, or do we wait for him, knowing the consequences we could suffer as a result. 

I urge you to take this to the LORD in prayer. 

May he reign forever and ever. Amen.
