IS IT EVEN WORTH IT

Sometimes I wonder why I bother when it is a fact that over the next uspecified period of time between now and that great meteor there is a time of struggle between four kings and transgressors that will be incredible. But it is clear by scripture that there is a fullness of time for the transgressors.

Da 8:23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.


More on this later.

Da 8:8 And the he-goat magnified himself exceedingly: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four notable [horns] toward the four winds of heaven.

There is out there a king, this king has yet to be broken but the verse does not specify the breaker-it just is broken. The bragging phase has not begun in earnest yet even though there has been some also the trampling of the Ram does not appear to be quite complete. Until this is done the great horn won't be broken or breakable.

Mt 21:44 And he that falleth on this stone shall be broken to pieces: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust .
There is an under tow in this country to try and oust Christianity. That is not good for them because the scripture is clear that they will be broken.

G4917
συνθλάω
sunthlaō
soon-thlah'-o
From G4862 and θλάω thlaō (to crush); to dash together, that is, shatter: - break.7665
שׁבר
shâbar
shaw-bar'
A primitive root; to burst (literally or figuratively): - break (down, off, in pieces, up), broken ([-hearted]), bring to the birth, crush, destroy, hurt, quench, X quite, tear, view [by mistake for H7663].
H7663
שׁבר שׂבר
śâbar shâbar
saw-bar', shaw-bar'
The second form being used erroneously in Neh_2:13, Neh_2:15; a primitive root; to scrutinize; by implication (of watching) to expect (with hope and patience): - hope, tarry, view, wait.

I have heard many a sermon preached by pastors and men of God about the brokenness of men before God which causes a man to turn to Jesus. I am like many other people in that I float between optimism and pessimism yet prefer the much better state of mind of optimism. So I offer this hope. Men may yet come to Jesus in their most humblest of moments and find that all of the longings of their heart could not be filled by anything of this earth, the absence of God in the heart of our soul is too vast. The Kingdom of the great horn may be broken but the men of it and it's king may yet find the true kingdom of God and yet be saved unto the posterity of eternity with God by Jesus Christ, King of kings and Lord of lords. Only say the words Jesus save me forgive me of my sins, and enter into a new kingdom.

In the near future: after the bragging and breaking of the great horn, there shall rise up for this horn four kingdoms and four kings which I believe shall then be doing battle with the transgressors,or no less the transgressors will be an annoyance to them.
In the mean time we have a gap and in this gap revival is abounding to the tune of an added 100,000 people saved a day. That is to say that world wide
in 1997 100,000 people a day were accepting Jesus as their savior. And as of 2003 200,000 a day.
I feel a moment of peace and a moment of desperation on the part of transgressors. Both do my heart good. Yet to the transgressors as long as their is breath in your lungs and thought in your minds you may yet become saved. And once saved you won't go back. Jesus won't let you.

day 8:9 And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious [land

We have to remember that this vision is just prior to the end. I read that at this time to mean just before the tribulation.(refer to my previous blog dated tue. Mar. 2 on the time of this vision.)

So This king may not be the final and horrible king just a nasty one. One which saints endure while they continue to spread the gospel.

Well that's enough for the day. I'm on to other stuff for now.
