A Though for today by Papa “J”
Someone said that the total of man’s wisdom is revised and strengthened every year because of technological advancements. This must be why the world suffers from economic failure!
MORE THOUGHTS
C.S. Lewis and Machiavelli were on opposite sides in life, but C.S. Lewis agreed with Machiavelli on human nature. Both agreed that mankind is so fallen that no man can be trusted with unchecked power to rule over another. Aristotle said that some people were only fit to be slaves, and Dr. David Jeremiah said, “I do not contradict Aristotle, but I reject slavery because I see that no men are fit to be masters.” Chapter four of The coming Economic Armageddon, Author: Dr. David Jeremiah. Here is the point! There is coming a day when the world will look up and say along with the Jews of that day. “Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the LORD”. The statement comes from the LORD Jesus Himself when He lamented over Jerusalem when He was rejected, about one week before He was crucified for the sin of the World. Matthew 23:37-39. This very same Jesus is the ONE who is worthy to lead the world that is presently enslaved in SIN. Notice with me. Worthy is the LAMB that was slain to take scroll from the right hand of Him who sat on the throne. Revelation 5:1-7 The Master of the universe is coming again, not as the suffering servant JESUS, but as the KING of kings and the LORD of lords, Revelation 19:11-21. If you are not ready for His return, then SHAME on YOU! Since you will reap the benefits of Revelation 20:11-15.
Lamentations 3
Lamentations 3:15 – I want to be practical about the things I write about and as I have said before, the writer of this book is the prophet Jeremiah. The book was written around 588BC or just before the captivity of Judah, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon seized and destroyed Jerusalem in 586BC. Jeremiah is bitter because God has allowed him to see this coming, so do you hear any bitterness in these words of mine? Does God’s story of nations repeat itself?
Lamentations 3:16 – I do not believe that God literally broke the teeth of Jeremiah by making him eat gravel or bent him over to cover his face in the dust of the ground. But I do believe that this is Jeremiah’s observation of the coming destructive results of a nation in total rejection of truth and justice. As if all of our teeth are exposed to decay from the force feeding of injustices being practiced by the evil leadership of our day.
Lamentations 3:17 – So in this sense my soul, like Jeremiah’s is removed from peace and prosperity. There is no good going on in the land. Yet, I do not despair, as my pastor has said recently. Faith since the fall of mankind at the dawn of history is that faith which is found in the ONE who holds the future. Hebrews 12:1-2 and the peoples of this faith is that glorious company of people, Hebrews 12:18-24 the general assembly who looks for the Perfect city who’s builder and maker is God. Faith without these works is dead. Hebrews 11:13-16. (Epistle of James).
