And therein lies the rub. Not enough of us will likely respond appropriately, and far too many of us will rather "up the ante" by responding most inappropriately. G-d already knows this, as He knows both the beginning and the end.
"The time of Jacob's trouble" *is* coming, and from such indicators as are available to anyone with a discerning eye, that "time" is coming more swiftly than most can imagine. Now, more than ever before, the prayer should go out, even as He, through His Son, taught us...
"Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on Earth, even as it is in Heaven."
More than this, such should be uttered, not monotonously as has been all too common over the last few centuries, but with as much reverence and feeling as one can possibly muster...

I've always loved that verse,a wonderfull promise,but when I read your post just then,it looked almost like a threat.
"More than this, such should be uttered, not monotonously as has been all too common over the last few centuries, but with as much reverence and feeling as one can possibly muster..."
Amen.Though I'm praying that those who are watching will not need to muster anything.That their cup will overflow.
I sometimes wonder wether I'm getting excited (to use a poor word)or just plain scared at all that is unfolding.I'll set my face like flint,swallow hard and say "Jesus is Lord"
God bless us all.
