Glad I found this. Sometimes I get sick to my stomach over it, but then I start worshiping God again. He's told me everything He's told you...ahead of time...and promises to be our All all the time. What I know to do is walk the walk moment by moment, awake and seeking His face, open to the opportunities to share the Truth wherever there is an open door. It isn't about this planet. The planet is predetermined to burn. It is about persons - some of them won't be in the fire, praise God, and I get to be part of His work to pull them out/off/up/away! It's really too cool when you think about it that way, Quix. God is always coming up with ways to save and to deliver, and "my very real and satisfying food is to do the good, pleasing, and perfect will of Him who sent me," we (can) now say as the Holy Spirit moves in us, as the same Spirit in Jesus Christ testified in John 4 when all those Samaritans got saved! Anyway, thank you for a great post, putting out there what I know, too, but don't share a lot here or anywhere.
My only conclusion so far, has been, that we are setting ourselves up; we are being set up . . . as a culture . . . as humans . . . to DEMONSTRATE to all creation . . .
Let's demonstrate our great Redeemer!
