It is extraordinary how we are seeing the prophesies of Isaiah come to pass here in South Africa.
You experienced the Twin Towers destruction that was within seconds. First you see it now you don't.
I find here in South Africa too a breach is ready to fall and the swelling out in a high wall whose breaking is coming upon us suddenly, is also occurring.
What does it mean, swelling out in a high wall for South Africa. Well look at this. The part of our economy that is high up in affluence, is experiencing a breach in its wall of prosperity. Our electricity is being switched off for hours on end at periodical times throughout the day. This is happening across South Africa. Whole cities are switched off at a time! Can you imagine? Lifts stop. Malls are plunged into darkness. Security systems go off line. Mines cave into darkness, bakeries loose their production, petrol stations stop pumping fuel and robots switch off. Yes! It is happening here! Our leaders fiddle with the figures of by how much increase to load up the cost for electricity. Electricity is going to be rationed here. Oh I am not complaining. I see exactly the Twin Tower effect happening in this Nation. Our breaking coming suddenly and in an instant!
Why? Because the whole head is sick, the whole heart is faint and there is no soundness in it.
Before I leave for work to begin a double shift, thought I'd share a response to your post, it brings to mind Ecclesiastes. 1:9,10; 9:1-3; 8:11-14. It seems that in all areas of Knowledge and subject matter that those taking the lead deliberately and unknowingly misleed and disceive others. Experts in all fields load statistics and always seem to prefer being Politically correct instead of just plainly telling the truth. I see this in the Food Industry, Sports, Exercise, Science and Of course we both know in Religion, worst of all. We have to dig deep and do much research in those areas that are important to each one of us to find the best information, Seek, Knock and you will find. Man dominates Man to his own injury, the so-called Shepperds are leading the poor misguided and misled sheep(masses) into a ditch, thankfully in His due time, Our Heavenly Father is going to correct all of this.
May the peace of God that excels all thought guard your heart and mental faculties.
You are so right about what you say about the food industry. I learnt years ago that the qualifications on the boxes of fruit juices that claim there are no preservatives in the juice is true. The industry simply sprayed the insides of the containers which do not have to pass through the food and health regulations that the juice has to!
Also if you take a look at the side effects of our chemical medicines, the illness by contrast appears to be much more desirable! This is not to knock medicine and medical advantages of our century. I am grateful for pain killers!
Your post touched my heart and I empathize with you. I too witness in my own country the frivolous and trivial pursuits of our leaders at all levels.
2Ti 3:13 Yet wicked men and swindlers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived."
In my current studies of the scripture I am seeing more clearly how that what hurts people the most... that injures them is deception. That destruction or to be "destroyed" is good, we know... but this deception is the worst of hurts.
The deceivers are also deceived... these that so many men & women put their faith in.
2Ti 3:4 traitors, rash, conceited, fond of their own gratification rather than fond of God;"
2Ti 3:5 having a form of devoutness, yet denying its power."
2Ti 3:7 always learning and yet not at any time able to come into a realization of the truth.
"…for when Thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn RIGHTEOUSNESS"
Thank you Bobby for posting that responce of Hope.
What is interesting is the reactions I come into contact with regarding the impact of this situation. We have only just entered into the circumstances of cut off electricity supplies. The imact is still to be felt and it is coming.
Time to move to America Arc?
We are bogged down in the war with Iraq, with a presidential election this year who knows where this will all lead.
There is a recession looming, I believe because of the lax lending of recent years, which have lead to us being too deep in debt to pay it back. Our financial institutions are made of a house of card ready to come tumbling down.
These are just a couple of our nations wooes.
As you have noted the crisis in your country, are we all heading for the swelling out in a high wall whose breaking is coming upon us suddenly.
Here too I find, Because the whole head is sick, the whole heart is faint and there is no soundness in it.
This has been the state of the world in this age ever since God created man in it.
Mat 24:3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?"
v. 4 And Jesus answered and said to them: "Take heed that no one deceives you.
v. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, "I am the Christ,' and will deceive many.
v. 6 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.
v. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.
v. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
v. 9 "Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake.
v. 10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.
v. 11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.
v. 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.
v. 13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved.
v. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
By means of the internet through the voice of Ray Smith "this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations" is being accomplished. Preach on Ray, preach on.
LOL Randy good one but no I am not going to run! I am exactly where God has put me and if I move it has to be Him moving me!
Kat you are so right and what I see in this links up with what Bobby observed. Jesus said "these things must come to pass" so yes the trials and tribulations, price increases, inflation, electricity cut offs, fuel hikes, unemployment, retrenchments, escalating crime, legalised murders of abortion, incurable diseases etc, have to come...they will pass..."All these are the beginning of sorrows."
I agree that THIS Gospel that Jesus Christ talks about which will be preached in all the world, is not the one in Babylon but certainly IS the ONE HERE in BT. That we have the Truth and the Gospel is what is so very precious midst all the lawlessness. I believe that endurance and patience by way of repentance in humility, is so necessary to the fulfilment in those whose love will not grow cold and who will overcome.
Not only do nations do this but do not individuals also look to their wealth for protection from their enemies? Is this not the correction as wealth dissolves under the expence of inflation, ill health, injustice or unemployment? Individuals and nations have turned away from God. They make alliances with the enemy to protect themselves and they do this with their wealth. Look at insurance companies who accumulate billions of Dollars off fear of people who pay heavy premiums for life insurance or physical or property protection. Anyone been back to New Orleans lately?
Experts in all fields load statistics and always seem to prefer being Politically correct instead of just plainly telling the truth.
I find this to be very true, even in the military.
The leaders, many times, are not at fault (though they must accept responsibility). They are often given misinformation from trusted staff and "experts", usually due to ignorance and/or pride (I always tell my people that ignorance is not a bad word, just a statement of fact). It really helps more when people just admit they do not know something, rather than passing bad info.
In my line of work, once something is briefed to the "big cheese", it is reality and we have to deal with it, no matter how wrong or ridiculous it is (unless of course safety is an issue).
That idiocy and stupidity doesn't just happen to the leaders. It trickles down even to the neighborhood.
The moral vacuum of our leaders is unbelievable!!! I cannot believe that of all the great people in this country, we have to pick from this latest batch??? good grief. Who cares if our president is a woman or ethnic but why not upright, honest, moral, SMART, common sense people!!! Ah well, God's in control so best not to worry about it!
I live about 70 miles from Detroit. The mayor has lied under oath, used public funds for "spring vacation-type" trysts w/ someone other than wife, etc etc. Embarrasing. But why are these type our leaders!!!
This is an interesting thread. And it is comforting to know this is all a means to an end.
The electricity problem can only be solved with nucleur power plants which are already operating 20% of the U.S. and all of France. We need more quickly. But we know it will fall apart anyway. The dollar is crashing. The gold it used to be based on is reputed to have been stolen by our own government. Ft. Knox is empty but don't tell the government I told you that please. They like to keep it a secret.
Whichever comes first, the lights going out or the dollar completely crashing, America will be chaos. There will be people jumping out of buildings. Have any of you seen the show "Jericho" where two small U.S. towns start a war with each other after the U.S. gets attacked by nucleur weapons. That will be a reality. Your neighbors today will be desperately attacking you tomorrow.
I'm in trading, so I occasionally get bent out of shape about the decisions of the Alan Greenspan's of the world who have set up this entire subprime mess, encouraged indebtedness instead of savings and allowed the banks to write their own laws. Don't get me started on the crooks at Goldman Sachs...but then I push away from the news, take a breath and go read the only "news" that matters.
Our faith in Christ and belief in every word of scripture is what will get us through. I truly feel blessed that I no longer have to worry about this stuff or worry for my kids. Praise God that I came to Ray's site all those years ago and found out I didn't have to worry about eternal torment for my kids either.
There is still enough flesh in me to worry a little about this stuff but not much.
Just remember that your money is well spent. We gotta get those terrorists in Iraq.
Do I detect a note of sarcasm, Musicman? or did you pull an Amadeus? (tooo many notes) Some of you mentioned a candidate you love, I betcha I'm for the same guy, but I won't mention his name, because I don't want to taint this forum w/politics!
But that's not where I hope lies anyway!
You betcher life! I'll change it from time to time with anther Groucho!
I liked those pics you posted. Where do you live exactly?
By the way, how is your daughter doing?
I think you hit the nail on the head. We have no leaders just greedy power hungry people. I look at the virtual idiots running for our highest office and wonder what the next years will bring for my children and grandchildren.
I think we will just continue to sit back and let our economic system crumble from greed, radical Islamic terrorism and corruption at all levels. Jerico will look like a tea party once our economic system crashes.
GOD has given HIS warning of the tough times ahead and we can only trust in HIM.
It is good to see someone on the inside who recognizes the problem. Thanks for you input.
