GEAR UP! We Are At War

I asked God to talk to me today. So while I was filing the bookmarks I have I came across one I didn't remember.

The Gorka Briefing. He is an Hungarian and teaches our Special Ops guys. On his site is a link to an article about an email sent out by Mattis. Mattis is writing why it is so important to read about the wars of the past because "there is nothing new under the sun" and humans have been at war for 5,000 years.

He wrote "Thanks to my reading, I have never been caught flat-footed by any situation, never at a loss for how any problem has been addressed (successfully or unsuccessfully) before. It doesn’t give me all the answers, but it lights what is often a dark path ahead."

Well, well, well, general although you have never been caught flat-footed by any situation, those boots on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan got caught a couple of times and what about IEDs? Limbs, eyes, lives. Limb for limb, eye for eye, life for life.

Sound familiar? It won't if you haven't read the Creator's war journal of the greatest battle for victory of each and every soul since the Garden of Eden.

Want to win the war on terrorism? Too late. The invasion and conquest of the abortion world is already in motion. The conqueror was promised his time of power to avenge the deaths of the innocent. His hatred for humanity will be used to obliterate God's enemies. He hates humanity so much he will enjoy watching us destroy each other. He hates humanity so much he destroys his own followers. He hates his own faithful and he will torture them for eternity.

An eternity of betrayal, torture, pain, screams of agony.

So, gear up! Read the real book on the real war. Read the Word of God who tells us the future of nations, and warns us of the weaknesses in our own strategy. He knows it all, so don't be caught flat-footed.

Here is the home page in my browser...Listen, take notes, gear up and get to know your enemy, the enemy of our King of kings and Lord of lords.

[off topic but in the email he mentions Alexander the Great, whose battle plans petraeus used to formulate our current COIN (counter insurgency) strategy which includes the utmost restrictive ROE (rules of engagement) that get our boots killed. The farmers -and kids- standing beside their poppy fields chatting on their mobile phones  report our boot's patrol locations and they are not permitted to take them out. They should be running in fear and turning in their Taliban family members. Satan gets our families to turn in the faithful to God. Mattis helped petraeus with COIN.]

Post-Tribulation

I am a post-tribulationist based on the resurrection of the dead. Will explain in depth ASAP.

unveiling His glory

Yesterday's lesson

It was one of those, randomly open my Bible and read days. Usually profound in the end. Job. Hmmm. Man who debated his righteousness before his "friends." So since I always read in context I found the beginning of Job's discourse and started there. Today I read his friend's discourse to find out why Job was still ranting.

His friend, Zophar the Naamathite, was speaking in chapter 11 to which Job replies in chapters 12 through 14. Before I mention the spiritual dart, in chapter 12:7-10 Job states that animals know that it is God who has the whole world in His hands.

For you:

7"But now ask the beasts, and let them teach you;
And the birds of the heavens, and let them tell you.
8 "Or speak to the earth, and let it teach you;
And let the fish of the sea declare to you.
9 "Who among all these does not know
That the hand of the Lord has done this,
10 "In whose hand is the life of every living thing,
And the breath of all mankind?"

So, since it is apparent even to the animals that God is in control, Job speaks of how He wants to talk to God face to face. He says,

"Though He slay me,
I will trust in Him."

Like the innocent man who ran into the Temple and grabbed the horns of the Ark of the Covenant, Job trusts God.

Watching for His Art

Be content with all things...

Very hard to learn and I have a short temper. Could also be why I move a lot...

JOY TO THE WORLD!

What a prophetic and supremely hopeful "Christmas carol!" When I read the lyrics once again, I realized that I should be singing this every time I read of another judgment. As events get more horrific, (as the 10 plagues against Egypt became more horrific) the strength derived from the joy of the LORD becomes greater because His arrival as King of kings and Lord of lords is closer and closer.

We should not be despairing, we should be voicing our victory in jubilation. Think of a winning superbowl party. People are reveling. "Revel" has such an intense triumphant connotation but why when we use the word "Revelation" does it bring a sense of doom when in fact it is a declaration of JOY TO THE WORLD!

Sing!

1. Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
   Let earth receive her King;
   Let every heart prepare Him room,
   And heav’n and nature sing,
   And heav’n and nature sing,
   And heav’n, and heav’n, and nature sing.
2. Joy to the earth, the Savior reigns!
   Let men their songs employ;
   While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
   Repeat the sounding joy,
   Repeat the sounding joy,
   Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.
3. No more let sins and sorrows grow,
   Nor thorns infest the ground;
   He comes to make His blessings flow
   Far as the curse is found,
   Far as the curse is found,
   Far as, far as, the curse is found.
4. He rules the world with truth and grace,
   And makes the nations prove
   The glories of His righteousness,
   And wonders of His love,
   And wonders of His love,
   And wonders, wonders, of His love.

This is a song of His reign on earth at His return! It is coming, joy is coming to the earth. The curse of nature will be lifted. No more poaching, no more fear of mankind. Why? Vegetarians all, I think. Man was given animals to eat after the flood. No more. No fear. What rejoicing the unfallen creatures will express!

He will rule the world with a rod of iron in truth and grace. He will say, "Prove me wrong!" Nations will obey as He said in His word and the blessings will abound. What a time on earth. 

These days before will be called the Darkest Age because mankind has hardened his heart against God and man. But fear not in these darkest times, for He rules. The consequences of disobedience will be the exacting of His wrath but rejoice! Rejoice! The Joy of the Lord is our strength to endure and as is stated many times in The Revelation, also our strength to overcome.
