A WORD

[Received Late At Night, February 12 ]

God puts kings in places.

And God takes them from their thrones.

He has people elected to positions.

And he has people lose elections.

And still the people struggle.

Still they wonder,

Those that ask at all.

Over and over the people fail tests.

They do not hear his prophets.

They do not see his words in action.

People ask,

            Has God done anything since

            Jesus and the disciples?

It is all as God has said to Isaiah (Isaiah 6:9-10).

It is all as Paul wrote (2 Corinthians 4:4).

And the few, the remnant, who

See God’s actions, who hear

His voice, who see the miracles

And the healings,

Who live in peace with God but struggle

In distress at the world and those

Around,

They wonder:  How long, O Lord, How Long?

Soon.

I am coming soon.

Yes, He is.

Real soon.  The evidence is in.

The prophecies fulfilled.

He is coming soon.

And still the people stumble.

Still they murmur.

Will they ever repent?

Will they ever learn?

Only God knows.

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6).

It is true.

Yet their ears, their hearts

Can’t hear the knowledge,

Can’t receive the truth.

They don’t even give it

An opportunity.

Narrow is the way

And few are they who find it (re Matthew 7:14).

So true.

The Lord will come with a shout,

An angel’s call, a trumpet blast,

And the dead in Christ will rise first.

To do what?  Walk the earth?

Who knows?

Then we who are still alive

Will together with them meet

Christ in the clouds.

And there we will be with Him forever.

God – our God.  Our Lord.

It is a remnant.

A remnant.

With a last second revival.

How many more?

A remnant for now.

And the time is running out.

If you do not stand in your faith,

you will not stand at all (Isaiah 7:9b).

Keep Your Eyes on Jesus!
