Before the nation of Judah was taken into captivity, the King was told by a prophet that it was going to happen. It would be best if they just took the punishment, and went quietly. The King fought, he planned to flee, and instead of saving his life and that of his family, they were all destroyed. He was told to not buck Gods plan.
The same thing is going on today. We are going into captivity no matter what we do, we need to prepare our hearts and minds, not food and weapons. We will be saved from destruction, just be true to Jesus, and trust that God loves you enough to give victory to you in the end.
It is going to be a rough ride. Trump is fighting a good fight, but if we are in the timeline I believe we are, he will lose. Not because of lack of trying, but because Gods plan cannot be defeated. Make no mistake, the Man of Sin and the worldwide system will come into being. It is Our Fathers plan, Satan just thinks it is his plan. We can fight, or we can pray and trust in God. Both ways you will end up in the right place after death, but one way lets you make it through while still “working in the field”. The other will leave you angry, and with a less fruitful life. JMO...
I disagree. First, because the Almighty sent a prophet with specific warning at that place in time. No such prophet has arrived in our time, as yet; assuming it isn't you. :)
Secondly, what we do have is the Almighty's scriptures. 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, "If My people, upon whom My name is called, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their evil ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
Since the Almighty dignifies us with free will, the power to make decisions of our own rather than having God or fate predetermine what we do, means our fate is in our hands.
Will we, as a nation, turn back to God before it's too late? I seriously doubt we will, but consider the ramifications if we did.
It would mean one of three things; 1. This is not the end-times; 2. The prophets of old will be proven wrong; or 3. The bible is a living document whose wording miraculously changes as mankind's future changes.
I tend to go with the latter, having looked for hours for passages I know I've seen but can no longer find. And as strange as the possibility may seem, isn't it also strange we live on such a perfect planet?! So, if He is capable to create heaven and earth, then the Almighty is certainly able to adjust and communicate our future based on our actions, IMO.
What I'm getting at is if we continue to be good servants, work to turn others back to God so His will on Earth be done as in heaven, He will honor his pledge to heal our land.
Keep reading the bible and pray for a change!
And if there is no change, what are you going to eat once you go inside your house, shut the door and wait for this to pass as the bible tells us, unless you are prepared to do so?!
