Prophecies of Isaiah, Pt 2
One of the interesting things about the book of Isaiah is the fact that, under God’s direction, the prophet constantly goes back and forth between the rebellious nature of Israel and the future of Israel when they will fulfill their created destiny of being a true light to all nations. Because of Israel’s hard hearted nature, rebelliousness, and sinful attitudes, the nation has reaped what she has sown. For most of Israel’s history, nations have plotted against her and she has often been overcome with many Israelites taken into captivity and dispersed throughout the world. This, of course, has been allowed by God for His ultimate glory. In fact, that is why He does anything, not only related to Israel, but related to all people throughout the world.
Prophecies of Isaiah, Pt 1
The prophet Isaiah’s name means “the salvation of the Lord” signifying that true salvation comes from God, not human beings. God offers His salvation, yet men and women since the fall have sought their own means or methods of “salvation,” which are not salvation at all. The book of Isaiah makes this undeniably clear, yet in spite of the truth found throughout Isaiah and history that proves the merit of Isaiah’s prophecies (as being God-inspired or “breathed”), people continue to reject God’s truth to their own peril and detriment.
Speaking the Truth in Love
It’s easy for us to judge. It’s easy to want to pray the type of imprecatory prayer that David prayed. He can be excused because he did not have the entirety of Scripture at his disposal as we do. However, the Christian’s strength is in seeking God, in submitting ourselves to Him and allowing Him and His love for the lost work in and through us in order to reach the lost of this world. That is how He set things up and that is how He expects us to move through this world.
Walk-Ins? Really?
The subjects of walk-ins is a deceptive concept. The belief among many within the New Age is that many of our current leaders are “walk-ins”; individual spirits so advanced and who have chosen this specific time to be in adult bodies, that people follow them willingly while ignoring all of the illicit things they do for selfish gain. These leaders are often charismatic (not in the sign gifts sense), and because of it, they tend to mesmerize people. A coming delusion sent by God Himself will ensure this (2 Thessalonians 2:11).
Standing Still and Watching God Work is Difficult
That is a tall order for any God-fearing person, isn’t it? It is very difficult sometimes to stand still and do nothing else. But in this case, their standing still would be evidence of their complete faith and trust in God and His promised victory! Sometimes, standing still is the only thing we can do when we are not sure of God’s will. However, God revealed His will to the people through Jahaziel. God told them what He was going to do and because of what He was going to do, the people should simply stand and watch God work.
What is AntiFa Really?
The point is simple. AntiFa wants to shut down ALL dissent. Anything that does not agree with their narrative must be silenced. Should we take AntiFa seriously? Obviously, they’re capable of doing more than simply making noise. These people are not afraid to get physical against people with whom they disagree and their are many videos on the ‘Net that prove it.
Nicolai Sennels and Problem of Islam’s Mindset
We know that continued inbreeding can result in diminished cognitive ability. Islam is an ideology that believes death through vigilantism against non-Muslims (infidels) is rewarded in heaven. If you start with offspring who have diminished cognitive ability and brainwash them from an early age to believe that Islam is the only way and all infidels must be fought against violently in order to please a particular god, it stands to reason then that Muslim children will grow up believing that violence against infidels is for the greater good and rewarded by Allah. This is what much of the European world is now experiencing and it is coming to America.
Erdogan Gains Virtually Unlimited Power to Dictate
Turkey has been pursuing a policy called “strategic depth doctrine” or “neo-Ottomanism,” which is a push to resurrect at least part of the old Ottoman Empire. As can be seen in the image of the map of the Ottoman Empire, numerous areas highlighted in Ezekiel 38 were once part of that empire. Will it rise again? Certainly, in part, it appears likely and with the greater power just given to Erdogan, either he or a successor will likely be able to move with greater speed and clarity toward this new “caliphate” (a geographic area controlled by a caliph in Islam).
Difficult Roads Often Lead to Beautiful Destinations
Though this life is often filled with storms, difficulties, and problems, the Christian is on the only path that ends well. Christians, due to their faith in God and His extended grace and forgiveness, will end this life with the greatest reward of all. Our path – and only our path – leads to heaven, where God dwells, where we will not only never sin again, but will never even be tempted to sin. The path that we are on is often difficult because it is opposed to the world’s system. That alone creates the drama, the problems, the issues that normally would not be there and will not exist in eternity.
Qatar-Turkey Pipedreams Need Ouster of Syria’s Assad
Will President Trump become more involved in what’s happening in the Middle East and Syria in particular? It appears that the Trump Administration is moving ahead to unseat Assad. Trump can’t not know about the Qatar-Turkey Pipeline and Assad’s resistance to it. If Assad is taken out and some puppet placed in, while this might not upset any of Trump’s other positive plans for the US, it will go a long way in making the Clintons exceedingly wealthy, giving them tremendous power as they (along with several countries in the Middle East), take control of the gas/oil situation in Europe and kill Russia’s economy at the same time.
