Hi John and Doves.

I can't believe it. They stole it.

How much prayer would there have been in the USA to God for Justice to be done and the wrongs to come out?

I am in Australia, so it is less painful over here than it must be over there that this could happen.

I just prayed to God and opened the Bible.

Ezekiel 3:8
But I will make you as unyielding and
hardened as they are.


What is God doing?
Is he taking away Israels protection to usher in the time of the end?

2 Thes:3

Don't let anyone deceive you in any
way, for that day will not come until the
rebellion occurs and the man of
lawlessness is revealed, the man
doomed to destruction.


Maybe the above verse does actually mean rebellion instead of rapture.
Maybe the world does need to descend further into full on rebellion before Christ comes.

2 Thes:1-3

1Concerning the coming of our Lord
Jesus Christ and our being gathered to
him, we ask you, brothers,
2not to become easily unsettled or
alarmed by some prophecy, report or
letter supposed to have come from us,
saying that the day of the Lord has
already come.
3Don't let anyone deceive you in any
way, for that day will not come until the
rebellion occurs and the man of
lawlessness is revealed, the man
doomed to destruction.

4He will oppose and will exalt himself
over everything that is called God or is
worshiped, so that he sets himself up in
God's temple, proclaiming himself to be
God.


....

9The coming of the lawless one will be in
accordance with the work of Satan
displayed in all kinds of counterfeit
miracles, signs and wonders,

...

11For this reason God sends them a
powerful delusion so that they will
believe the lie


Where is the encouragement? Where is the hope??

2 Timothy 4
In the presence of God and of Christ
Jesus, who will judge the living and the
dead, and in view of his appearing and
his kingdom,


17But the Lord stood at my side and
gave me strength, so that through me
the message might be fully proclaimed
and all the Gentiles might hear it. And I
was delivered from the lion's mouth.
18The Lord will rescue me from every
evil attack and will bring me safely to his
heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for
ever and ever. Amen.


TITUS 2
13while we wait for the blessed hope--
the glorious appearing of our great God
and Savior, Jesus Christ,
14who gave himself for us to redeem us
from all wickedness and to purify for
himself a people that are his very own,
eager to do what is good.

TITUS 3
5 he saved us, not because of righteous
things we had done, but because of his
mercy. He saved us through the
washing of rebirth and renewal by the
Holy Spirit,
6whom he poured out on us generously
through Jesus Christ our Savior,
7so that, having been justified by his
grace, we might become heirs having
the hope of eternal life.

Revelation 1

5b Jesus
Christ, who is the faithful witness, the
firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of
the kings of the earth.
6To him who loves us and has freed us
from our sins by his blood, and has
made us to be a kingdom and priests to
serve his God and Father--to him be
glory and power for ever and ever!
Amen.

7Look, he is coming with the clouds, and
every eye will see him, even those who
pierced him; and all the peoples of the
earth will mourn because of him. So
shall it be! Amen.

8"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says
the Lord God, "who is, and who was,
and who is to come, the Almighty."


13and among the lampstands was
someone "like a son of man," dressed in
a robe reaching down to his feet and
with a golden sash around his chest.
14His head and hair were white like wool,
as white as snow, and his eyes were
like blazing fire.
15His feet were like bronze glowing in a
furnace, and his voice was like the
sound of rushing waters.
