Is God trying to get our attention?? Is anyone listening?? Since the total solar eclipse in August 2017, there have been many disasters and occurrences that have the fingerprints of the LORD all over them.
From the massive hurricanes in east Texas and Florida, the fires and mudslides in California, the extreme arctic weather and, most recently, a meteor that triggered an earthquake in Michigan! Everyone knows that something 'strange' is going on!!
Was the solar eclipse a ominous omen of things to come? Many believe so! Many believe it was not only a warning, but the beginning of judgments starting to fall upon America!
I believe that these 'shakings' are WARNINGS from the FATHER to wake up not only the unbelievers, but the sleeping church! If we 'wake-up' and turn from our own ways, HE might relent or slow down sending further and more severe judgments.
Think how merciful the LORD truly is---HE is sending 'warnings' throughout America to shake us up out of our complacency! HE is so long-suffering, not wanting any to perish until they have made their final choice!
We can also see these judgments as birth pangs which will usher in HIS new kingdom. Just like a woman giving birth, so are these 'birth-pangs,' in that they will increase with severity. Prophetically speaking, they will get stronger and stronger until the total fulfillment of all prophecy occurs.
As this new year of 2018 unfolds, we will continue to see a 'shaking' occurring in this country and across the world. According to Hebrews 12:27-28, this shaking will continue until everything is shaken except the Kingdom of GOD.
So, back to my original question---is GOD trying to get our attention? Yes, I believe it is obvious and will become only more and more apparent. In HIS great mercy, the LORD warns and warns and warns, till the people either repent, or they harden their hearts in stubbornness.
Dear brothers and sisters, let us, then, clothe ourselves today with HIS strength and righteousness as we see the hard times ahead. Let us work fervently for HIM as we wait for HIS soon return. Though we don't know the day or hour, we KNOW HE IS COMING FOR HIS BRIDE SOON! Until then, seek HIM. so that HE can equip you to be a part of this end-time harvest that is about to be birthed.
SHALOM!
"If at any time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down and destroyed, and if that nation I warned repents of its evil, then I will relent and not inflict on it the disaster I had planned." Jeremiah 18:8
" The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us,] not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance." 2 Peter 3:9
"And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows." Matthew 24:6-8
