I've sat silent for several months, not because I'd nothing to say, but because it seems no one is listening, and the constant barrage of bad news is morosely disheartening. Any prolonged, monotonous diet of sickening food gives one heartburn, indigestion, diarrhea, and worse. Anyone who thought the worst was over, and that good times were here again, was & is blind, deaf & dumb to the past & present spiritual & physical realities our world and our nation are facing. Our present "eye of the storm", as I phrased it, is just that. The backside of it is beginning to buffet us, and only YWHW knows how long or how dire it will be.
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have each one turned to his own way... Is 53:6a
Even throughout all my rendering of American history, have I seen a time when our nation was so disjointed, so dysfunctional, so directionless. Federal, state & city governments are in shambles; fiscally, economically, morally, and spiritually. There is no end in sight, and the prognosis is terminal. In spite of their presumed intelligence, our leaders are starkly inept, morally & spiritually bankrupt, wholly self-serving, and in obtuse denial.
But, there is redemption for those of us who need & want it so desperately; for those of us who realize our state, and claim, Salvation is of the LORD!
"For He comes up before Him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground. He has no form nor magnificence that we should see Him; nor form that we should desire Him.& He is despised and abandoned of men, a Man of pains, and acquainted with sickness. And as it were hiding our faces from Him, He being despised, and we did not value Him.& Surely He has borne our sicknesses, and He carried our pain; yet we esteemed Him plagued, smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His wounds we ourselves are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have each one turned to his own way; and YHWH made meet in Him the iniquity of all of us. He was oppressed, and He was afflicted, but He did not open His mouth. He was led as a lamb to the slaughter; and as a ewe before her shearers is dumb, so He opened not His mouth. He was taken from prison and from justice; and who shall consider His generation? For He was cut off out of the land of the living; from the transgression of My people, the stroke was to Him. And He put His grave with the wicked; and with a rich man in His death; although He had done no violence, and deceit was not in His mouth.& But YHWH pleased to crush Him, to make Him sick, so that If He should put His soul as a guilt offering, He shall see His seed; He shall prolong His days; and the will of YHWH shall prosper in His hand. He shall see the fruit of the travail of His soul; He shall be fully satisfied. By His knowledge shall My righteous Servant justify for many, and He shall bear their iniquities. Because of this I will divide to Him with the great, and with the strong He shall divide the spoil; because He poured out His soul to death; and He was counted with transgressors; and He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for transgressors." Is 53:2-12 Hallelujah!!!
The "Arm of YHWH" IS Adonai Yahshua ha' Mashiach !!! Lord Jesus the Christ
I pray for the body, heart, soul & mind of our nation, and for each & everyone who has & would call upon the name of the Lord. There are many dark storm clouds over our land, with darker ones on the horizon. I cannot tell you when, how, or where they will strike, but only the redeemed have the Life Preserver. If you haven't "put on Christ" (Rom 13:14, Gal 3:27) in your life, I urgently plead you to do so today.
"For YHWH says, I have heard you in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I helped you: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation." II Cor 6:2
