Apostolic Friends,
I see much has been said during my eight hours away at work. All of it with exception of the thoughtful post by Esther has basically been the same.
I have been reading the Bible almost daily since Feb. 15 1974. I have read over and over again the many places where the Prophets and Preachers of old including the Lord Jesus prophesied of judgment against sin.
I have heard modern day Preachers also preach that God would judge America for its sins. Yet why is it when these things happen Church people cannot see it? Is YHWH the same yesterday, today, and forever?
I invite any of you to do something. Go to the book of Kings for instance. Start reading from the beginning and read through also 2 Kings. An unmistakeable pattern emerges.
YHWH is activley involved in the affairs of men. Notice as you read that practically ALL of the actions good or bad of the Kings were answered by YHWH. If a King did evil we read of it. If he did good we read about it.
Wars, famines, captivities are all said to be a direct result of YHWH blessing or punishing.
Its easy to look back and see what I am saying is true. Yet IN OUR TIME if and when God decides to intervene in the affairs of men there is a great outcry such as on the AFF Forum today. Men and women saying he would not do such a thing.
Pray tell friends can you name a time in this generation you believe that God intervened in the affairs of the nations? Or after Jesus came do you think he does not concern himself with nations any longer? Are they doing what they do apart from his knowledge?
In your opinion what would it take for the Almighty Elohim of the Bible to strike judgment upon a nation? Or is it your belief he will only judge on an individual basis on the day of judgment?
