When All of These Things Happen, Look Up Part 9


“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
