I have expected something like this for years. Somehow I missed it when Andrew first sent it around.
I have had inklings of such things off and on for many years. This puts it all together much better than the tiny bits I had occasionally.
PRAISE GOD.
PING to this new thread about
a coming
ROAR OF THE LION OF JUDAH.
Have long expected some word from The Lord about such things. Have only had tiny bits and pieces for years.
This is one of the most encouraging things I’ve read in a very long time—many years.
Very profound.
Reading 1
Is 26:1-6
On that day they will sing this song in the land of Judah:
“A strong city have we;
he sets up walls and ramparts to protect us.
Open up the gates
to let in a nation that is just,
one that keeps faith.
A nation of firm purpose you keep in peace;
in peace, for its trust in you.”
Trust in the LORD forever!
For the LORD is an eternal Rock.
He humbles those in high places,
and the lofty city he brings down;
He tumbles it to the ground,
levels it with the dust.
It is trampled underfoot by the needy,
by the footsteps of the poor.
Ps 118:1 and 8-9, 19-21, 25-27a

Gospel
Jesus said to his disciples:
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’
will enter the Kingdom of heaven,
but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.
“Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them
will be like a wise man who built his house on rock.
The rain fell, the floods came,
and the winds blew and buffeted the house.
But it did not collapse; it had been set solidly on rock.
And everyone who listens to these words of mine
but does not act on them
will be like a fool who built his house on sand.
The rain fell, the floods came,
and the winds blew and buffeted the house.
And it collapsed and was completely ruined.”
