April 8, 2013 – Ezekiel 39

God will aid those that come up against Israel, if you take this to mean the end times type talk, God will assist those that are bringing down the Church.  Assist might not be the right term, but God will build them up so that they are or appear unbeatable and inevitable.  Then God will merely take their power away and they will be destroyed.  You can imagine it taking 7 months to bury bodies after the destruction of an entire army (or country) in an short time by the wrath of God.

If you want to look at the world today, you could say that the ungodly side is winning and growing and appears inevitable.  If you read enough of the Bible, you will see that this isn’t something unusual or even unintended by God.  “The bigger they are, the harder they fall” is on a sign behind God’s throne.  He builds up evil to test us and to show us that He will conquer all when we have faith in Him.  When you look at the world and all that is happening, hope is sometimes hard to find, but that is the point.  It isn’t suppose to be easy to be Christian, it is a struggle, but that is how God meant it, how He shapes us, and how He prepares us to be with Him.  So, we must ignore what the world looks like, because the world is only skin deep.  Our faith and hope must be in Him that has already conquered the world.
