I
the Lord do not change. (Malachi 3:6)
Approximately
80% of the Word of God is in the Old Testament.
Certainly, since God
devoted so much writing to this part of Scripture,
He wants us to get
something out of it.
It is the story of the
absolute Sovereignty of God over His Creation.
It is the story of the
hopeless nature of fallen man.
It is the story of the
hopeless nature of the people of God
Without the continual
intervention of God.
The Old Testament
is the record of God dealing with His people Israel.
It is the story of God
raising up nations and tearing them down,
When their iniquity
became full.
It
is the story of God's chosen people continually going astray
In spite of all that
God did for them;
The fact that God
continually sent them Prophets
With the Word of God
for them.
There were some bright
spots, but in the end,
The people of God
always ended up going astray.
This culminated with
the advent of Christ Jesus
And Israel's rejection
of Him as their Messiah.
Their House was left to
them desolate.
It was left desolate
until 1948 when miraculously,
And as Scripture had
foretold, Israel was re-instituted as a nation.
The
Seven Letters to the Severn Churches
sent by Christ Jesus
Tell
us that even before the last apostle died,
The
Churches of God were in trouble.
Of
the Seven, only Two were commended.
Here
we stand, 2,000 years
after the resurrection of Christ Jesus.
During
these 2,000 years the people of God always went astray.
And
the only reason they were brought back to relationship with God
Was
by God's Sovereign interventions among them.
It
was the story of Israel all over again.
Today,
without the Sovereign interventions of God Almighty,
There
would be no one in right standing with God.
The
Gentiles proved they had no greater ability to remain faithful to God
Than
did Israel before them, the New Covenant not withstanding.
In
the Old Covenant there was always a Remnant
That
remained faithful to God.
In
the last 2,000 years
There
has always been a Remnant that remained faithful to God.
A
Remnant preserved by God, by the Power of His Holy Spirit.
Today,
we look across the ocean
and we see a godless Europe.
We
live in America
Which
has become increasing more godless since it's inception.
Without
the Sovereign interventions of God, among the people of God,
There
would be no faith in America at all.
Today,
America is under the heavy judgment of God;
America
is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God.
America
is being overrun by the
godless under the inspiration of Satan.
When
we look at the Church of God
We
see little difference between it and the larger Culture.
Understand
this, God has not
changed. He will deal with godless America
Just
as he dealt with the godless nations of the past including Israel.
The
Word of God makes this clear.
America's
iniquity is becoming full and when it becomes full
It
will go the way of the godless nations that preceded it, destruction.
Today,
America is well on it's way to destruction.
Nevertheless,
in the midst of this godlessness world
There
is a Remnant of people determined to remain faithful to God,
In
every nation on earth, and the Sovereign God is strengthening those:
The
eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those
Whose
hearts are fully committed to Him. (2 Chronicles 16:9)
Today,
this Remnant is rising up in every nation on earth
Giving
glory, honor and praise to God and His Christ, Jesus.
These
will be spared the Hour of Trial
That
God will soon bring upon the whole earth
To
test those who live on the earth. (Revelation 3:10)
The
apostle Paul said of his day:
So
too, at the present time there is a Remnant chosen by grace.
(Romans11:5)
This has been true in
every generation since the ascension of Christ Jesus.
Today,
this Remnant understands correctly the signs of the times.
This
Remnant has come out of Babylon, the spirit of the world,
So
that she will not share in the sins of Babylon that are piled up to
Heaven;
So
that she will not share in the plagues
That
God Almighty will pour out upon Babylon, like He did Egypt
In
the days of Moses. (Revelation 18)
Today,
the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
America
is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save
yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father,
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
