In
response to this wonderful message: (Shan Cosner 18 July
2013, Home of the Five Doves)
"The world
we knew was barely functional...but now "it" is
deteriorating at speed."
"It is July 17th. 2013 at 1:30 pm pdt. I am just now
going through today's news, in detail...something I do
everyday for 18 mos. now, and noticed something...
The increased frequency and magnitude
of deadly serious happenings just in the
social/political realm is stark. I do not
exaggerate for sake of "sensation" when I say the old adage
"the world IS falling apart" and few notice. Even without
adding the threats of pole shift and EQ's and freakish
weather...I mean just the political/economic realm
worldwide is beginning to implode now! Conditions
have been creeping toward the precipice for some time...but
in the last 14 days have been pushed over the edge...the
point of no return...the law of gravity in free fall. The
RAPTURE must occur soon!! I believe at the moment of impact.
I can see the bottom from here. ...the end is in sight...
Standfast bretheren! We REALLY ARE going home
any moment now!! "
Our Only Hope
I can only
say, "Amen and Amen" to your words, dear Shan. I
was just discussing the same with a sister in the Lord
yesterday.
Hardly do
we seem to go from one perilous situation than we are
faced with another...worldwide. And it can only
increase, as the Word tells us that in these last days
things would wax "worse and worse". And why is this?
We who
follow the Lord should already know that answer.
God does not want us anxious and
disturbed in our spirit. And there is but one way for
us to be at peace in such times. We can read
about the young Uzziah, king of Judah, only 16 years
of age at the time. But fortunately, he had
parents that knew the Lord and were living in
righteousness. He determined to follow God in
the same way, and purposed to learn from God's
prophets the ways of the Lord. "Casting all
our care upon Him...(1 Peter 5:7)
The Bible says that "As
long as He sought the Lord, the Lord made him to
prosper".And so we read how he DID
prosper and was king for decades, leading his people
into truly prosperous times. Only when pride got
into the picture did things deteriorate and
eventually, when he forgot to seek God and His
ways, he was stricken with leprosy and died.
A godly man forgot...
But we must not forget. For
it tells us that our prospering in such troublesome
times as we are now experiencing will depend on
whether or not we are seeking God for answers to our
problems, directions for the days ahead, His strength
and help in times of need.
Our nation is stricken with
spiritual leprosy...but our obedience to
that Word will take us though it all.
