THE PRICE OF ARROGANCE

EXODUS 

3 - 12

So He (God) said

I will certainly be with you.

And this shall be a sign to you that I have sent;

when you have brought the people out of Egypt,

 you shall serve God on this mountain.

You don't go to war unless God goes before you.   The Israelites learnt that lesson.    One can only wonder how many politicians or leaders actually considered praying and listening for the still small voice of God before voting to take a nation to war.   If they can't find time to study the King James bible perhaps a quick, simple, slightly poetic version of the "Prince of Egypt" movie might have tempered their direction.   The end game is written and God will come against the nations that have illegally interfered.

The thinking man (or is that about to be controlled) would realise terrorism is one battle that is never ending.  Ireland slumbers in a delicate peace and that only came about because men of war spoke peace.   God pricked the conscience of the waring fractions and they sat around the table of negotiation.

Apart from the mother of all bombs, which in itself would destroy the very prize they all seek, black gold, the devil's spawn will continue to spread around the globe.   People are realising too late in the day that it could be their head on the block.  

Nations need to acknowledge the mess they are in and that judgement is surely coming but when the

only God they have is SELF it is only God who can change hearts and minds.

It is only God who chooses who He saves and uses - divine election.   

Studio Scotland's film the Daniel Connection is a timely reminder of biblical prophecy.   Those who refuse to even attempt to understand biblical prophecy perhaps preferring instead to amuse themselves with a good horror, science fiction or alien movie, might well consider their fantasy could become their reality.   The Middle East is a boiling pot and trigger and the alien is in their midst.

"Oh that's all going on over there" is their song.  They worship at the monument to consumerism and eagerly await a few frenetic days of over indulgence and gluttony.  Meanwhile the slaughter continues and innocents will die amongst the guilty from the bombs and bullets to say nothing of starvation and cold.  Of course there are always those who benefit handsomely from war games.  Arms dealers and manufacturers,  the construction industry and the sale of priceless antiquities.   Perhaps leaders will have to get drunk to numb their conscience and sooth their guilt.

At the end of the day the nation is morally bankrupt.   Terrorists like the rats will go down their holes and pop up elsewhere, next time perhaps too close to home.

TIME TO PRAY

AND TURN BACK TO THE GOD THEY HAVE IGNORED.

And although His Word is written and will come to pass He will judge the Nation's leaders and common man alike.   Meanwhile His remnant will continue to work in the harvest fields for His glory.
