Then explain why He hasn't destroyed the Papacy?
He kept Saul around a lot longer than I would have.
He kept Marx, Stalin, Mao around a lot longer than I would have.
He let Swaggart go longer than I would have.
He has let me get away with more longer than I would have.
He is merciful and compassionate.
He clearly has His reasons. It may be that He has chosen to as an object lesson along the way and particularly at the end.
Ask Him. He may answer. Then again, He may not.
He may expect all of us to increasingly SEEK HIM AND HIM ALONE--at least in that sense.
I just know that even individual congregations are going to be sifted more and more. That the candlelight of God's anointing is going to be withdrawn from more and more congregations where the leadership AND THE PEOPLE have ceased to SEEK GOD FIRST AND FOREMOST AND TO FOLLOW GOD REGARDLESS OF ALL ELSE.
And, I believe that increasingly as we get closer to the more dramatic parts of the END TIMES . . . such groups and organizations which claim to be Christian but are not or cease to behave like it . . . will suffer increasing hardships and even obliteration.
Some, of course, are already well along toward being consumed into a one world religion of the globalists. Those will certainly suffer their due fate in due course. I hope it's none that any of us are a part of. But horse sense tells me otherwise is the case.
