This is NOT going to be an easy post - either for me as the poster or everyone else as readers.
I therefore do please ask that everyone tries their best to understand that it is NOT my intention here to single out any group, culture, or faith but rather to try and offer everyone a fuller picture about GOD in PROPHECY and how HE can bring about JUDGEMENT on our very sinful world.
I would apologise `in advance` should I fail to word things in the most educated way. I do not wish to cause mis-understandings, nor do I desire to hurt anyone else.
Throughout Prophecy there is a very clear theme of how GOD CAN USE `people` - `faiths` - `earth events` - `nations`and even His own animal creations to bring JUDGEMENT on an unrepentent world.
An unrepentent world means ALL of us. There are no exceptions.
As I have pointed out in the Israel thread (http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showthread.php?t=107939&page=7), I am convinced at the moment that God is using Governments and people from Eastern Europe to bring Judgement on both the U.K. and the U.S. for what those 2 countries leaders, both past and present have done to the people in Palestine.
Just as the people in Palestine lost their homes to an invading force from Eastern Europe, then now too also, are Eastern Europeans flocking to the U.K. (as illegal immigrants)
Even legal immigrants are taking jobs, and the U.K. unemployment continues to soar.
As of yesterday, we read in the news how illegal immigrants are now setting up camps in peoples gardens ! Link (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1259279/Residents-powerless-remove-illegal-immigrants-gardens.html)
A similar picture also exists in America.
For several years illegal immigrants have flocked into America from places like Mexico. Legal immigrants take up many of the jobs as the U.S. unemployment figure soars by the day.
In BOTH countries - and due to the financial crisis - created by `the rich men of the world` Americans and Brits are having their homes re-possessed.
In the U.S. we now see `temporary camps` being set up by people who have lost their home, and sometimes even their jobs as well.
THIS MIRRORS WHAT HAPPENED IN PALESTINE, folks.
As I see it here : God is using :
1. Government leaders
2. People from various other countries
3. The bankers
in order to bring Judgement on the U.K. and the U.S. for what they did to the people of Palestine.
The Bible clearly tells us in Numbers 14:18 (http://www.biblestudytools.com/kjv/numbers/14-18.html) that God can visit the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.
Palestinians are not the only people to have suffered at the hands of America. Let us not forget Iraq, Afghanistan & others around the world.
If we go back further than all of these, look what the white settlers in America did to the Native ingenious people (otherwise known as the Native American Indians) Did they not also steal their land and slaughter ?
NEXT......
For many years we have heard in the news how honey bees are disappearing, and in more recent times the bats also.
In Prophecy we can read how, in end times, there will come to be great FOOD SHORTAGES and PESTILENCES.
The bees are the workers, and if those totally disappear there WILL come to be vast food shortages.
People might not feel so concerned about the bats.... but do the bats not eat bugs & insects ?
So what do you think is going to happen when the bats all disappear ?
Yes thats right, we will see plagues of insects and bugs - which will then seriously affect what little crops there are, and insects can spread many diseases to humans. Yes folks FOOD SHORTAGES and PESTILENCES are at the door just as God forewarned.
So you see, God CAN use his animal creations too in order to bring Judgement on a world who has dishonoured His Name and rejected His Son Yeshua.
NEXT.....
As Christians, and on a daily basis we can read how Christianity is being attacked from so many angles.... from within the schools - from the homosexual community - and from those who just blatantly hate God with a vengence.
Is God not entitled to allow satan to persuade such people to try and wipe Christianity out for a short time?
I would say YES, given how so many mega (so called) Christian ministries have used God on their banner to both `get rich quick` (with their `feel good` - `candy coated gospels`) and also how many of these (so called) Christian groups have BACKED George Bush /Tony Blair when they ILLEGALLY invaded Iraq.
Please remember : satan can only operate `for a short time` and then he too will be destroyed.
But in the meantime, he is doing a mighty fine job of destroying FALSE Christianity - and making the lives of true Christians very difficult.
NEXT......
This brings me now to another topic - and that is Islam.
For many years now we have been hearing people say that `Islam will take over as the main religion in our countries`
If we look at FACTUAL evidence, Islam is in fact the fastest growing religion in the world.
In contrast, Christianity`s numbers are quickly falling.
Within Christianity in the UK, very few are now interested in going to church.
Granted, given all the hypocracy within the churches, we can perhaps understand why that is so.
In America, Christianity is still quite popular - but thousands are attending the wrong kind of Christian ministries (covered in a point I made previously)
In America too, and despite genuine Christians pointing out that America was always a Christian nation (one nation under God) U.S. Presidents have allowed a vast influx of people from around the world, who not only bring in their own culture but also their own religion.
This too has happened in the U.K. where many areas are now predominently multi-cultural.
When we can see the injustices of events like the invasion of Iraq, then not surprisingly people become very angry (just as we would if others invaded our country without just cause)
People from Middle Eastern countries who follow Islam can see the injustices, and greed, and immorality in the West - and not surprisingly therefore they feel that they might be the ones who God is calling upon to change all these things for the better - video
On a daily basis, we keep reading about Government `bail outs` and how individual bankers and CEO`s have been awarded mega bonus`s.
Maybe this is as good a time as any to point out that this would NOT be possible if it were not for the fact that OUR banks operate under a `USARY` system, whereas in Islam, they do NOT have usary.
Might God be tired of all the GREED ?
Might God be using the bankers to bring down the evil usary system ?
Or (looking at it from another angle) God is allowing satan to do so.
When our systems fail - I cant help but wonder might this be the point where Islam jumps in, and brings in their own non-usary banking, and no doubt with it their Shaih Law - to replace what is now considered by everyone (except those who are benefitting) `a very CORRUPT system of things`
My own personal opinion here on ALL of the foregoing topics is this :
GOD can use WHO, or WHAT He so chooses, and at a time He decides....
OR, looking at it from another angle :
GOD can allow satan (as Scripture says) `a short period of time` in which to destroy all the evil, so that people will truly see that GOD IS ONE, and we all in subjection to His Laws.
Therefore, YOU must decide as to whether ALL of these things are GOD`s
direct JUDGEMENTS.....
OR: whether by God allowing satan that period of time..... he is allowing satan`s system TO DESTROY ITSELF.
From a Christian perspective I do not believe that God necessarily condones all of the people He uses (OR, allows satan to use)
For example : it would go against common logic if we were to foolishly believe that God would condone homosexuality just so as to destroy false Christianity. In the longer term, I believe that those people will have no choice than to come to their knees and realise that God`s Creation was built on the basis of `male and female` and not on any diversions of that.
Nor do I believe, as a Christian, that God condones any person (or Faith group) who does NOT accept that He sent His SON into this world to die for the sins of mankind. I do believe that all those, whoever they are, who believe differently will be made to see otherwise in the future.
But in the meantime...... God can use WHO He likes and when He likes.
This is never more clear than in this Biblical text :-
Acts 2:17
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy , and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams :
The words `ALL FLESH` clearly does NOT mean Christians only.
Therefore, whether it be some Native American indian - who clearly believes in the Creator..... or whether it be a Muslim who tells us that their Prophet Muhammed who was illiterate, had visions at 12 years of age..... then all we can do is look at what these - and others - say.
If what any of them say lines up with GOD`s creation - and with events that we see happening in the world (and agrees with Prophecy) - then chances are, yes those are messages from GOD.
But if anyone tells us `a different thing` then we must test the spirit accordingly, whilst SATAN can indeed be very, very persuasive.
What is certain - and whether people believe it or not - is that there is going to be repercussions for all of the bad things that are being done, both in the name of POLITICS, and in the name of RELIGIONS.
As nations we have collectively in one way or another fallen for various types of IMMORALITY - some countries more so than others, yes.
Can we expect God to allow to go unpunished the millions of ABORTIONS that result from gross immorality ?
Can we expect God to allow to go unpunished the loss of innocent lives in countries like IRAQ ?
God is very clear in Scripture that `those who kill by the sword will DIE by the sword` - and that doesnt merely refer to just the word `sword` as some might think - but rather I`m sure we could all replace that word by words such as `abortionists tools` - `cluster bombs` - and `WMD`
What is also clear from Scripture is that if people will REPENT, then God will heal a nation - but unless they do..... then end time events are surely at our door.
2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray , and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
I therefore do please ask that everyone tries their best to understand that it is NOT my intention here to single out any group, culture, or faith but rather to try and offer everyone a fuller picture about GOD in PROPHECY and how HE can bring about JUDGEMENT on our very sinful world.
