Re: thank you all.
"i have learned a lot. gods word always challenges and refreshes. the way things are going we may have all our questions answered soon.
godspeed and gods will be done."
Things are certainly getting scary on a human level, but the comfort to me is that I do know God is in control. Nothing that is happening right now is surprising Him. I also know that pain tends to motivate people to ask and think about deeper things. I think the prosperity in this country made a lot of people go into a big la la land comfort zone, while things fell apart all around them, without them realizing what was happening. So, while we can point fingers, seeing such evil things being done in the government, the medical establishment, etc. to bring this country down so fast, looking at it at a much deeper level, this may be how God is going to wake people up. Their comforts being gone, He may very well use this time to start bringing them to repentance, and show them their need for him. So while I believe we are headed for insanely hard times, I believe it's going to be a really exciting time to see all God does. And I hope for sure for His speedy return as well.
I enjoyed these discussions and bible studies too. So thank you to everyone also! I always learn from them.
