Signs

If someone told you that in twenty years, we would still be here, would you believe them? How about 10 years? Or 5?

How about next year?

Do you really believe we are living in the last days, and if so, what does that mean to you?

Zec 12:3
(3) And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

If you click on the Jerusalem link on the left side of the page, the news articles will only list Jerusalem news. It is AMAZING how many nations have burdened themselves with Jerusalem. Guess what? America is at the forefront.

I'll say it again because this is what I believe: if you look outside, you look upon a society of people who have turned against God and His hand of blessing is becoming harder to see in this nation. Do the snapped telephone poles make this land appear more like the 'promised land', or less? How about the wild fires and floods? Hurricanes? Drought?

Abraham was told by God that those who bless him would be blessed. As a nation, we are losing that blessing. As an individual, I don't have to, nor does anyone else that blesses and supports God's people. Science writes this off as cyclical - or worse... man-made. (If the globe gets any warmer, I may freeze to death.) I'll contend that a truly blessed nation that walks in the light of God and under His rules would experience unprecedented properity - period. Look at Joshua's reign over Israel. When did it go awry for him? When they failed to do what God told them to do. I realize this is very hard-line. Even Joseph went through trying times, right? True - he did. But he kept his eyes on the Lord and look how he was elevated. Is that what we are doing as a nation? Are our eyes on the Lord?

My outlook on this really isn't all that bleak. Jesus said that even as the days of Noah were, so shall the coming of the Son of Man be. Look up, for our redemption draweth nigh.
