“Seventy weeks have
been decreed for your people and our holy city, to finish the transgression, to
make an end of sin, to make atonement for iniquity to bring in everlasting
righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy
place. So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a decree to
restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah, the Prince, there will be seven
weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with plaza and moat, even in
times of distress. Then after the
sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cutoff and have nothing and the people of
the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end will come with a flood; even to
the end there will be war, desolations are determined. And he will make a firm covenant with the
many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to
sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who
makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is
poured out on the one who makes desolate” (Daniel; 9:24-27).
Hey Gang: As I mentioned in the beginning of this
series, in this day when everything is being shaken so that only those things
that cannot be shaken will remain, it is more than essential that we stay up to speed about the signs that God so
graciously gives us and continues to give on a daily basis. Example:
Could there be a stronger sign than what occurred on the steps of the
Michigan State Capital on 22 December as reported by Dan Godwin as follows:
“While
America’s court system is working overtime to rid America of God, prayer
and Jesus, while targeting Christians as “extremists, “We in Michigan just
experienced our first “State-sanctioned” Satanic Ceremony in history! On
December 19th, 2015 the Satanic Temple of Detroit held a ceremony on the steps
of the Capitol in Lansing, Michigan- making it their first ever State Sanction
Satanic ceremony. In it the Satanists hail Satan, raise their blackened
American flags, and vow to bring their Satanic practices into American Schools,
businesses, and to the White House!”
How
could that happen to a nation that was founded on Judeo-Christian principles? Franklin Graham has vowed to preach
repentance on the State Capital steps of all fifty states beginning on January
5 at Des Moines, Iowa. He has titled his
crusade “Decision America”. Make sure
you pray for safety for he and his contingent.
Satan is not going to be very happy with his commitment to turn the tide
of our nation away from his agenda to God’s agenda. For those who have signed up to be his prayer
covering he prepared a Prayer Journal for each.
Above,
I asked the question, ‘How could that happen?’
In Franklin’s Prayer Journal he tells his warriors that only twenty-six
percent of Michiganders, attend church, pray and open God’s word in any given
week. He also gave us the depressing
news that thirty-eight percent of the people have either left the church or
have never been involved in a church. To
put that in very easy to understand terms, that is Satan’s playground.
Now
that is one of those “I just don’t understand issues?” I happened across a neat little illustration
that will help clarify what I am trying to say here and, perhaps even cut a
page from the dissertation. It seems two scientist believed they had
created life. I haven’t a clue why
man is so bent on creating life – it is reported by those folks who are in the
know on how many folks this planet can support and we are nearing that point so
why do we want to create more. And if we
do want more folks on the earth, why are we killing millions babies and mega
people through our other perfected killing devices?
Getting
back to the story, they came to God and
told him they had created life so He was not needed anymore. God’s response, “Show Me!” They reached down and picked up a handful of
dirt and God stopped them and said “Get your own dirt!
Now
as I read it in Genesis 2:7 “God formed
man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life;
and man became a living being”. It
is my firm belief that one of the great attributes of God is He is
unchanging. He got it right in the first
place, so why should He change it. It is
man who believes he is some kind of super being that knows better.
If
God breathed life into the first man, is it not wise to assume it is He who
breathes life into every human being?
Are we so arrogant to believe that we can control the climate? Are we so arrogant as to believe that, if we
turn our backs on the One who breathed life into us, we will pay for our stupid
ways? Getting back to the Lansing
Capital Satanic Ritual. Were they not
worshiping a spirit? Is Satan not a
spirit? Is God not a spirit?
When
I read the fringe packages provided by both, I wonder what goes through the
minds of people who actively and willfully choose the Lake of Fire rather than
the paradise that Jesus referred to on the cross. I believe that at birth God breathes life
into us and equips our bodies with an electrical system. Somewhere along life’s path we come to that
point where we choose which power source we will plug into, God’s or
Satan’s.
One last point, before I close this epistle for the
day. Strong’s concordance tells me there
are 33 columns of 114 each of the word “will” in the Bible. I certainly have not researched them all but
have discovered many. Ezekiel is a rich
book with the “I wills” of God. One day
I want to do a blog on the fringe packages of God and the evil one so have
accumulated more than a hundred promises in just several chapters of what God
says “I will do”. So why are so many
saying “No thanks I will go my own way”?
I will try and get back on track for the next What’s
Happening Man, but things are happening so fast trying to choose what is most
important is a real chore.
Blessing,
Gramps
