poised to make a big impact on global affairs"
What big impact on global affairs are they going to make?
= = = =
We don't know. But I'd hazard guesses along these lines:
1. Millions more will build lasting relationships with God.
2. Millions more will be fed and educated by such good works of such groups.
3. Millions more will be rescued from natural disasters and war aplenty by such groups.
4. Some leaders will be given ultimatums delivered by humble nobody believers--SOME of whom God will supernaturally place in the inner offices and bedrooms of said leaders akin to Star Trek/SG-1 beaming transport somehow.
5. The leaderes who obey will be blessed as will their nations. Those who refuse will be obliterated--all memory of them wiped from the face of the earth--and their nations and people will suffer greatly. Probably the degrees to which the saints in those countries are praying and fasting will determine a lot how the leaders will decide to respond to God.
6. Children will call for angel armies to destroy vast earthly armies and generals and it will be done in a flash.
7. Groups of people will be seen walking on top of water to safety in floods and other crises.
8. Groups of people will be transported supernaturally to safety.
9. Groups of people will be fed supernaturally.
10. Many individuals and families will discover in their treks from piller to post led by angels that their clothes do not wear out and their food doesn't run out.
11. Whatever dramatic demonstrations of satanic power accrues to the global government will be matched and raised by the forces on God's side.
12. The sacrificial, servant hearted Love to the death of believers will be one of the most awesome things of this coming era.
I'm sure the above is just a hint of the global impact of such believers.
And, IF ONE CHOOSES TO CLING TO THE SIDE OF EVIL, YES, THEY SHOULD FEAR SUCH FORCES OF GOD'S KINGDOM.
But we are not interested in building our own theocracy. We've always botched such things. We are quite content to allow Christ to build His own government His own ways.
However, we will call for our Constitutional rights to be honored as long as we can. They have been mangled wholesale and increasingly now for 2-3 decades.
