“But
now, thus says the Lord, your Creator, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O
Israel. “Do not fear, for I have
redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are Mine! When you pass through the waters, I will be
with you; and through the rivers, they will not overflow you, when you walk
through the fire, you will not be scorched.
Nor will the flame burn you” (Isa. 43:1-2). “For I am the Lord your God!”
Hey Gang: I believe all who have not buried heir heads
in the sand are dealing with deep mixed feelings. We are being shaken, I mean really
shaken. In a recent article, Jan Markell,
who heads a ministry that tracks Signs and Woes of our day, wrote an article: “Things
that I thought I would never see”.
She wrote: never,
in my wildest dream, did I believe I would see women’s sports curtailed because
transgenders can now participate as women, or that Lucifer would be brought
back to television by popular demand, or that my tax dollars would be invested
in killing babies, or studying why lesbians are obese. Is this not the fulfillment of Isaiah 5:20 “There will be a day when good is called
evil and evil good”. There is also
another verse in the Word that says,
“When this kid of smut hits the world, look up for I am coming after my
children.
I believe
anyone who is locked into Jesus as Lord and into His Word and in contact with
Him constantly could make a list: “I never believed I would see items as long
as their leg.
Getting back
to the subject of the last morning message.
I warn you again, this is me, Kermit R. Hainley, Hillbilly; my word with
two bucks can get you a cup of coffee.
Please check me out.
I tend to
believe with Bill Salus that there is an intermediate step between now and Gog
Magog, namely the fulfillment of Psalm 83.
If you have not read blogs one and two of this series, you need to stop,
go back and read them now. I will wait!
Now that you
are up to speed, let’s quickly move on to a conclusion. If, and again I repeat “if” Salus and your truly are right, then Israel will have a very
large piece of land. Strange as it may
seem, but then again when you consider the Author of this entire operation, NOT
SO STRANGE, the boundaries are very similar to the boundaries given to Abraham
of the covenant land God said would be eternally Israel’s.
They would
suddenly be a very wealthy nation and since all their hostile neighbors would
be no more, they would have peace, for a wee-bit of time anyway. But, it would also salivate the taste buds of
the bear from the North, really tick off the Mede-Persian beast from the South,
and fire the boilers of the Gog – Magog confederacy. After fighting a war against the local
neighborhood hoods, their arsenals might be a wee bit-thin and vulnerable.
The question
that is being waged today on many fronts: How does all of the present signs fit
into the time of the rapture? If the
Psalm 83 prophecy is a coming event, will it be before Christ comes for His
body? Or will the believers see this war with wide angel lens. Something to think about.
I pray you
have enjoyed this series as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Not sure where God will take me next. Tune in and see.
Blessings,
Gramps
