Shalom and Blessings
We have all heard the expression "The opera is not over until the fat lady sings," well the fat lady has yet to sing in the opera of Israel's election. Polls predicted that the election's outcome would be a stalemate similar to what occurred in our last election, but no one expected that a new obscure Arab party with a mandate of five seats would hold the balance of power between us having a leftwing or rightwing government. This has added new meaning to the scripture: "But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then it shall be that those whom you let remain shall be irritants in your eyes and thorns in your sides, and they shall harass you in the land where you dwell." (Numbers 33:55). Where do things go from here? As with all questions the Bible has the answer; "And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man:" (Luke 17:26). Shaalu Shalom Yerushalayim (Pray for the peace of Jerusalem).
2 Corinthians 6:17 17) "Therefore, COME OUT FROM THEIR MIDST AND BE SEPARATE," says the Lord. "AND DO NOT TOUCH WHAT IS UNCLEAN; And I will welcome you. 18) "And I will be a Father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to Me," Says the Lord Almighty."
God does not unconditionally offer to be a Father to anyone who wants Him, we have to meet His conditions. That is what the "therefore" is there for!
Hi Ellen here…Jack is so right; all answers are in the Bible! There are some bills sitting in the United States Senate that have been hovering over us for a very long time. I remember when we were still ministering in Toronto this same subject arose. I really do not want to name these bills or even discuss what was hovering over us in Toronto but I am sure you have guessed or heard as we have. Bottom line is the devil wants to divide, destroy and taint and twist the biblical family unit…that's right, a husband (man), a wife (woman) and children. Well after hearing the news and a short sermon online with prayer and discussion we opened our Bibles and this is what we read…astounding!!!
Isaiah 24:1-6… 1) Behold, the Lord makes the earth empty and makes it waste, Distorts its surface and scatters abroad its inhabitants. 2) And it shall be: As with the people, so with the priest; As with the servant, so with his master; As with the maid, so with her mistress; As with the buyer, so with the seller; As with the lender, so with the borrower; As with the creditor, so with the debtor. 3) The land shall be entirely emptied and utterly plundered, For the Lord has spoken this word. 4) The earth mourns and fades away; the world languishes and fades away; The haughty people of the earth languish. 5) The earth is also defiled under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. 6) Therefore the curse has devoured the earth, and those who dwell in it are desolate. Therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left.
(It is as if Isaiah was reporting the news…)
