The
plan is written!
The
end has been declared from the beginning!
So many Christian preachers
and teachers shy away
from teaching the "negative"
part of God's plan,
even claiming publicly
before the world that they do not know "why"
God allows "bad things"
to happen in the world.
And
though they may be well intentioned and are basically good people,
they
have failed to see His great purpose
in
the lessons and the "tribulations" of this "temporary" flesh age
because
they have failed to study His Word line by line
in
place of teaching the vain (empty) traditions of men
which
provide no meat for understanding.
They therefore do not
really know the "Love" of God
which involves even severe
chastisement at times,
for the GOOD of His children
because He loves them.
As it is written in 2
Pet. 3:9, it is His desire that NONE should perish,
but that all should
come to repentance.
All
that many people know about the fear (reverence, i.e. love) of God
is
the sugar sweet "little baby Jesus" stuff they are taught,
the
"just have love in your heart and be sweet as pie to everyone".
They are taught the "precepts
of men" and church traditions
and so their "hearts",
i.e. their minds, have been removed from Him,
from the Word of God.
Though
they say "Lord, Lord" and "Praise the Lord",
they
are ignorant of the knowledge of His Word!
Isaiah
29:13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with
their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their
heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught
by the precept of men.
Yet even so,
they are still without
excuse of basic understanding
because even nature itself
teaches that we must go through the night,
the appointed time of
darkness, before the light begins to dawn!
That's
right, the night comes first,
"And
the evening and the morning were the first day".
Unfortunately, it seems
that most men must first go through a storm
before they can appreciate
the beautiful sunshine.
Nevertheless,
that which "seems" grievous, even chastisement,
even
the chastisement of the great spiritual tribulation of the king of Babylon,
shall
yield fruit...nay...the peaceable fruit of righteousness...unto
them
which
bore the chastisement.
In other words,
AFTERWARD many shall
learn their lessons and shape up!
THAT
is a GOOD THING.
That is love:
Hebrews
12:11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous:
nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of
righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
[12] Wherefore
lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees.
To that end,
every one of the
prophets of God who have foretold us of the captivity
and the tribulations
and the famines and the pestilences, etc., etc.,
to befall our people
have also given us the GOOD NEWS of the promise of His salvation
and the restoration of
His people when the kingdom of God is established upon Mt. Zion.
The
plan is written!
The end has been declared
from the beginning!
Here then is the great
prophet Zephaniah's (Hidden of Yah)
declaration of the good
news for Mt. Zion and the city of Jerusalem,
the future seat of the
eternal Kingdom of God.
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
