July 13, 2024 What happened? What's the message?
What happened? It's widely believed that God intervened on July 13 to spare the life of a man. That can not rationally be disputed. Does this mean God is a Republican? Is that the message?
What's the message? God is God. IMHO the message is that a merciful God is in control. "God is in control."
Men, mankind, was created by God and God alone. God alone can secure and protect those he created. In fact, he is jealous over us.
Exodus 34:13-17 But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves:
14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
15 Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice;
16 And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.
17 Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.
For a very long time Americans, including the church in America, has gone "a whoring" after a long list of other "gods". "gods" of all kinds.
This should get our attention. By his current actions God is extending his mercy to us for a little more time. That he is in control is a great mercy to us.
I might be wrong about some of this. But, in the spirit of the message, I might not be wrong.
What do you do when the Creator offers a hand of mercy as we approach the end of days? Are we really in the end of days?
