Romans 7:23
King James Version
23 But I see another law in my members,
warring against the law of my mind,
and bringing me into captivity
to the law of sin
which is in my members.
This will probably be one of the shortest articles.
Only because we will want to keep it short.
The main question being, is war "imminent"?
You know, between America, and Iran.
With Israel, Russia, China, on "stand-by".
And GOD knows which other countries would want to be involved in such a foray.
As born again watchman, warrior, and soldier of CHRIST, I can only think this:
Would you really warn your enemies
of your impending attack?
Won't they have time to scuttle, or prepare?
What's happening in the world now seems to be that president Trump is EXHAUSTING all possible approach with Iran, diplomatically.
Lest the world criticize him, and America, that they had not given the ayatollah enough time to change.
In the meantime, USS Gerald R. Ford is close by, with USS Abraham Lincoln already in place.
What we don't know, nor see, are what those countries mentioned above have already in place, ready to be activated, at a moment's notice.
We only see the big, bulky warships, and planes, being put in place.
Can you really change Islamist Iran's mind not to destroy Israel, and America?
Wasn't that the ayatollahs main reason for existence?
If you take out their nuclear capability, what becomes of them?
Even as everyday Iranians want peace, and prosperity, too.
Was it better during the shah's time?
As crown prince Reza said, when challenged a few days ago, about what difference will he have, over his father's rule, he merely quipped something about "apples and oranges".
War, these days, has become more complex than ever.
With sophisticated intel, countries are able to map out their friends, and foes.
Or do they, and have they, really?
How far has infiltration gone?
Is there anything secret in this internet age?
How has CHRIST's enemy muddled man's thinking?
One thing for sure, if you are being attacked, you defend yourself, and save your nation.
One striking example is how Israel defends herself from neighboring countries, which sought her destruction since the establishment of the Jewish state on 14 May 1948.
Since then, GOD's chosen nation has known no peace from her neighbors.
That's very telling, actually.
If not a true work of Satan.
All that GOD loves,
the enemy will destroy.
So, maybe the question is, do you know who, or what GOD loves?
If so, you can be sure the enemy will try to destroy it.
GOD can always foil all our plans.
Especially if we seek the destruction of others.
Ah, but if it's for the defense of the poor, the oppressed, the widow, the orphan, or the stranger, you can be sure GOD will help you.
Zechariah 7:8-10
King James Version
8 And the word of the Lord
came unto Zechariah, saying,
9 Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying,
Execute true judgment,
and shew mercy and compassions
every man to his brother:
10 And oppress not the widow,
nor the fatherless,
the stranger,
nor the poor;
and let none of you imagine evil
against his brother in your heart.
And if there's something imminent, it's not really war.
It's the Rapture.
1 Corinthians 15:51-53
King James Version
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery;
We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,
at the last trump:
for the trumpet shall sound,
and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption,
and this mortal must put on immortality.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
King James Version
16 For the Lord himself
shall descend from heaven
with a shout,
with the voice of the archangel,
and with the trump of God:
and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain
shall be caught up together
with them in the clouds,
to meet the Lord in the air:
and so shall we ever be
with the Lord.
Mark 13:32
King James Version
32 But of that day and that hour
knoweth no man, no,
not the angels which are in heaven,
neither the Son, but the Father.
Pray to be born again.
So the HOLY SPIRIT can teach you.
And tell you of things to come.
The LORD JESUS spoke of this "Spirit of truth":
John 16:13
King James Version
13 Howbeit when he,
the Spirit of truth, is come,
he will guide you into all truth:
for he shall not speak of himself;
but whatsoever he shall hear,
that shall he speak:
and he will shew you
things to come.
Further, only through JESUS, the Prince of Peace, can we have peace.
Isaiah 9:6
King James Version
6 For unto us a child is born,
unto us a son is given:
and the government shall be
upon his shoulder:
and his name shall be called
Wonderful,
Counsellor,
The mighty God,
The everlasting Father,
The Prince of Peace.
It's really all preparation now.
And not for man's war.
But for GOD taking up His church.
Before the real war starts.
