well i certainly don’t bring any of this up to crow- they are just some interesting facts and it appears historic events and prophecy are possibly at the least- beginning to play out-
Crowing is easy to fall into — it would get you a lot of biblical company. Paul mentioned how God permitted what apparently were demons to plague him (thorn in the side) in order that the exceeding greatness of the revelation did not, in essence, feed his pride. He knew that he could not be personal master over those demons; that He had to count on God to deal with them at the proper time and in the proper way.
We’re dirty rotten sinners who, at best, are being saved. Understanding and supporting from the heart what God wants will, in turn, bring a proper relationship to current events. That has always been so and will always be so till the curtain has rung down on this mortal coil.
