My OperaREVELATION 8:8 "The second angel sounded his trumpet and something like a huge mountain all ablaze, was thrown in to the sea."

June 7, 2010I haven't blogged in such a long time. I think I have been in a sort of semi-coma state of belief. Part of my soul rejoices at seeing the pages of Daniel, Isaiah and Revelation literally spring to life off of their pages. Eschatology: the study of the end of days. It has always fascinated me. Even as a young girl, I would glean through the pages of Revelation and pretend that I understood it's meaning. I didn't, but I knew that inside of those words were hidden treasures. Gods supernatual puzzle that he put together for us to reassemble at the end of time. It was with prayer and wisdom that I kept reading and asking for insight to comprehend. I still don't understand everything, some things are for our Lord to know, and for Him alone. What I do understand is that so many signs that were revealed to John on the island of Patmos are now coming to fruition.
When I opened the AOL page this morning, I saw the Gulf laden with oil, dead fish and birds, people on the shores crying and praying. The oil floating on the water appeared to be red. Not black. This is most likely why John said the oceans would turn red like blood. He had no oil spill to compare...to him, it was red, and red in those days was blood.
The hand of God is heavily on our nation. I see and hear everyone waiting with deafening silence to see what our President Obama will do. Will he side with Israel? Will he side with Turkey? Will he try to be everyone's friend and ride the fence? We don't have to watch the news to know the answer. It's in the book. He will, of course, turn on Israel. As will all of the nations. This is prophecy. What he does, he is compelled to do by the hand of the Creator of this world.
For believers, as heartbreaking as it is to see the animals suffer, the carnage, the broken people, it is uplifting to know that the words of our Lord some 2000 years ago are as true and faithful today as they were then. We can trust Him. He will keep His promises, both good and bad. He forewarns us...gives us the opportunity to repent and then lets us choose. This is not a dictator, this is a loving father whose arms are out simply saying, "come".
When the last trumpet is sounded and time stops...it will be too late. Humble yourself as you see the righteous hand of our great Lord begin to stretch out over his creation and bring to justice the Son of Man, the accuser, Satan. Count me among those who has unshakable faith, through it all, even until the end. Pray my saved brothers for mercy on those who don't know Him, pray my unsaved brothers that you might.
To God be the glory and praise, today and forever more. Amen.[/SIZE]
