God’s Will Getting Done: This Side of the Whirlwind

God’s Will Getting Done

Though it may sound rhetorical, all of God’s Word from creation to this day has been fulfilled in accordance with God’s divine purposes. All things considered, He is the Almighty and Omniscient God! Even the plans and working of the Beast and False Prophet are done according to God’s divine purpose and will.

“For God has put it into their hearts to carry out his purpose by being of one mind and handing over their royal power to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled” (Revelation 17:17 ESV).

 Individuals may believe free will allows them to work outside of God’s purposes, but that is plainly foolish thinking. If God is truly the Creator and as described within God’s Word, then working outside of God’s knowledge is impossible. God’s Word indicates He knows the beginning from the end and all things in between before they are even committed.

“Only I (God) can tell you the future before it even happens. Everything I plan will come to pass, for I do whatever I wish” (Isaiah 46:10, Living Bible Translation).

Israel, God’s Not Finished

Alright, the last segment for, “Israel, God’s Not Finished.”

By the time the Two Witnesses and 144k have delivered their Gospel messages across the Nation of Israel during the Great Consummation… the Jews, will be just about ready for God to lift their “Blinding in Part” (Romans 11:25-32).

For a little over 2000 years the majority of the Israelite peoples have been supernaturally prevented from

Judgment

I grew up in a religious (Christian) environment and I occasionally heard stories about the coming of the Great Tribulation.  A scary event to be sure, horrible judgment which would be coming on the world.

I often wondered why God would judge humanity for just being the humans He created; what’s the deal with that?

Still, over the years I have asked several Pastors, Elders and long standing Christians what the Great Tribulation “judgment” is suppose to be all about.

Israel, God’s Not Finished Part 2

Okay, we left our last blog making the statement that “Even as the Body of Christ must be saved by faith and not by works so too must the nation of Israel be saved by faith and not because they are the sons of Abraham according to the flesh.[1]

• Remember, Ishmael was a son of Abraham and yet not a child of promise or salvation.”
• Ishmael (the first son of Abraham) is the father of the Arab nations and ultimately Islam today.

Israel, God’s Not Yet Finished

Thanks for the great question BG:

I believe every single promise to Israel has already been fulfilled. I read that somewhere. Joshua 21v 45… There failed not ought of any good thing which the Lord had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass

We are delighted to receive this question/statement from BG today (the names haven’t really been changed because this is too much fun).  This question about Israel’s disposition before our Creator is a common misunderstanding especially for those of the Preteristic persuasion.

Isn’t it wonderful how fair and just is our God; still, He is GOD we serve a Creator Who is wholly and utterly GOD in all that implies.

Long before you or I came into existence our God, the Creator,

The Meaning of Life Series

What is the meaning of life?

Why do people struggle with this question as if it were so complicated?

It really is not that difficult of a question to answer concretely is you know the answer, right?

In this one series, “The Meaning of Life Series” we will look at the one and only real answer to that eternal question… What is the true meaning of life for humanity?

Self — Reflection: This Side of the Whirlwind

Self-Reflection — Say What!

Can you see yourself?

Self-Reflection… too often we see the failings of others without seeing the same failings within our own lives.

Too often we say things, do things or act in haste or with selfish motivations and then blame others for the outcomes resulting from those things we’ve said, done or acted upon.

What is the mechanism within us that deflects our own personal responsibility for our own choices; things we’ve said, deeds we’ve done or actions we’ve rendered?

Are you talking to me?

 

Why do we find it so hard to admit when we have done evil, selfish or willful acts?

Is it cowardice – in this instance – the lack of ability or courage to see one’s self honestly?

Why must we blame others for when we have voiced hateful remarks? “Oh, they made me say it!”  Own up!  You said it from your own heart and as we know, out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.  That means you said it because your heart agreed with it.

Seven Years of Tribulation

Nearly every tribulation based End Times doctrine mistakenly declares the Tribulation Period will span seven years. In each of these teachings the seven-year time frame was taken from the same biblical source, Daniel 9:24–27, which contains the Seventy Weeks of Daniel prophecy. According to many mistaken teachings, the seven-year period in the prophecy represents the seventieth week or seven year period. Verse 27a to be precise, contains the only reference to this seven-year period most unintentionally mistake for seven years of judgment or wrath from our Creator.  Let’s look at the verse:

• And He [Jesus/Messiah] shall confirm a covenant with many for one week (seven years): [For proof the pronoun “he” is referring to the Messiah/Jesus turn to “He Shall Confirm a Covenant” pages 77-86 of “This Side of the Whirlwind, The Coming Apocalypse.”]
• and in the midst of the week (three and a half years)
• he [Jesus] shall cause the sacrifice and offering to cease [come to an end],

[The split-versing in verse 27 takes place here separating the text after the words, “offering to cease”. If you are currently unaware of split-versing please check out the following blog for clarification:

Would You Go?

Partial excerpt from “This Side of the Whirlwind, the Coming Apocalypse” Chapter 17, pages 315-316.

For centuries, Christian groups have gathered on mountaintops or in secluded forests to wait for what they believed was the imminent return of Christ only to return home in failure.

Almost certainly each of these individuals returned feeling betrayed, embarrassed, or possibly disenchanted after having failed to meet the Almighty in the sky. It is unnecessary and unfortunate for these faithful servants of God to feel shame for obeying their God. Consider how rare the Christian who would be obedient to such a call must be. Such obedience demands applause and not regret or shame.

Real Love IS

Love is real and patient and kind.

When loving we do not envy the object of our love neither do we boast in the love we’ve rendered.

In love we are not arrogant or rude for this diminishes those whom we love.
