Work toward returning back to Him
Work toward returning back to Him
This morning in my Bible reading, I finished reading Hosea and I also read the three small chapters to Joel. Both prophets wrote their books to call the nation of Israel back to God. Each issued a call to repentance. Hosea spoke mainly to the northern kingdom of Israel and Joel to the southern kingdom of Judah, but both prophets issued warnings of coming destruction and captivity by the nations of Assyria and Babylon. The people of both nations had rebelled against the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in order to follow the gods of the surrounding nations around them. Neither Israel nor Judah wanted these invading armies to come into their lands. Listen to how Joel described the nation of Babylon. “For a nation is coming upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and whose fangs are the fangs of a lioness!” If I knew that a nation like Babylon was coming with nothing but destruction upon their minds, I don’t much think I would want to hang around, would you? 01/27/2025 08:48 AM

President Trump, in his first day flurry of Executive Orders, begins fleshing out what he thinks will “Make America Great Again:” • Ending Law and Order by giving approval to violent rioters, including attacking cops, destroying property, and plotting insurrection; signaling these things are now “Okay!” • Will enact sweeping tariffs, which economic experts say will RAISE PRICES for Americans and fuel Inflation. • Will ignore “posse comitatus” and assign American Military to law enforcement duties on American soil (no announcement that training in law enforcement will become part of the military’s war-fighting readiness agenda). 01/27/2025 08:48 AM
