MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Read: Zechariah 8:1-23; Revelation 16:1-21; Psalm 144:1-15; Proverbs 30:29-31
Today we read about Israel’s restoration. I feel like we are living in the beginning of this coming true. Israel became a nation in 1943 and has suffered persecution and unrest ever since. We are seeing Israel gain favor with nations that opposed it for years. Our president is standing up for Israel and supporting her like we have not seen in years. This is encouraging other nations to rise up in her defense. He gives her two commands: love truth and peace.
In Revelation, we see anything but peace. God’s wrath is being poured out on the world that were not taken in the remnant. Many of these people bear the mark of the Antichrist and will experience many of the plagues of Moses. To these people, the Lord will come like a thief (1 Thessalonians 5:2; 2 Peter 3:10). He does not come to us as a thief but a Savior.
I pray that all of you have the most wonderful time with your family and friends. I know that we all have big expectations but if your expectations don’t pan out like you wanted them to, remember that this is our temporary home where we learn to walk with God through disappointment and through joy. May you be filled with peace and great joy!
