It’s such a blessing, relief, encouragement, help

when you articulate my own convictions better than I do

or sometimes better than I manage to slow down and do.

Thx.

Thank you so very much for your encouragements, dear brother in Christ!

sometimes better than I manage to slow down and do.

I suspect that your reaction to those who do not see what you do in current events vis-à-vis Scripture - is roughly the equivalent of one seeing people standing in the path of an oncoming train.

Further, I suspect one in such a position would not take the time to explain the physics of what would happen to their bodies if the train arrived at a certain speed, etc. Nor, I suspect, would such a person think about the words he was using - whether those standing on the hypothetical train tracks would be deeply offended. The idea, after all, would be to get them to move out of the way - especially difficult if they can't see what he does, i.e. the oncoming train.

But I am never troubled by such things. After all, this oncoming train has the glorious result of God's will being done, finally ending the rebellion against His will, ushering in the new heaven and new earth in which all of us who are His (whether on or off the tracks) will live with Him forever more.

Maranatha, Jesus!!!
