Do you know that this blog is 8 years old now? And, no more google, adsense Ads. But hey, where did the years go. How did I get here? As the great Abraham Lincoln once said, “In the end, it’s not the years in your life that counts. It’s the life in your years.” As I turned, as what people say where life begins at … I am like really? I honestly get confused, oblivious of the years that passed me by, not sure how many candles to put on my cake. I will ask mom. But one thing for sure, life is good!
Life
is indeed good … just turn your TV off! Right? I don’t know where to begin. One
of the lessons taught in Sunday school was The Battle of Armageddon and the
battle of the Gog and the Magog. Armageddon, the word itself conjures up scenes of vast armies, anguish, and extensive
desolation. In the scriptures, you will find Isaiah saying the Lord will pout
out war upon all the world; Jeremiah saying the same thing and speaking of
these terrible things; Daniel saying so; Ezekiel saying so. We find Joel,
Zephaniah, Zechariah, all proclaiming that in this last day, the day when the
sun shall be darkened and the moon turned to blood and the stars fall from
heaven, that the nations of the earth would gather against Jerusalem. All of
them speak of it; and when that time comes, the Lord is going to come out of
His hiding place.”
Mom shared about a
horrifying speech posted on FB from a group I- cannot- speak- of which is somewhat a precursor to what Ezekiel prophesied on
the battle of the Gog and the Magog. There are so many prophetic records by
prophets from different dispensation, all from different books and prophesied by several prophets. The sequence of what comes first and of the final signs of the "end of the world" is still a blur. One thing for sure, as the Lord told Ezekiel “He would
miraculously save His people from the armies of Magog so that all nations may
“know that I am the Lord” (Ezekiel 38:23).
I am just armed with my prayers and faith at this point and will continue to hold on to that moving forward… I
have a 72-hour kit, too.:-)
So life is indeed good
especially when you know whose side you’re on. Those who are still with us, we are triumphantly surviving
it. We have survived havoc before our eyes including - the continual of end-of-the-world assertions, with exact dates and time even . How many end-of-the-world have you all survived? Our
generation is one tough cookie, don’t you think? And oh, let’s just love one
another. Let’s keep it simple.
