“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.” (Isaiah 55:8)
No, to put it bluntly, they are not. 6,000 plus years of unthinkable suffering of both man and beast, of Satan being allowed power over much of man’s affairs, of mankind’s brutality over each other, and the Almighty while at times intervening, allows all to occur. He does not think like we do, and I mean no disrespect to my God, but when you can turn stones into sons of Abraham you do not think as we do.
“For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.” (1 Cor. 2:16)
How many people did the Lord Jesus Christ walk past and not heal, how many times has the Almighty done nothing while men over the millennials have suffered, and I offer you this undeniable truth, He who sits on the throne of eternity knew before He created the heavens and the earth the name of every single person that is going to suffer beyond any comparison in the Lake of Fire for all eternity. This my friends is the God you have chosen to serve, and very few of you will ever contemplate this part of Him for any length of time.
“For our God is a consuming fire.” (Heb. 12:29)
“Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.” (Psalm 50:22)
This is why the movement, the ideology of “God is love” that has spread across the planet over the last few decades is despicable, for it attempts to say this part of the Most High does not exist. It has led to the enabled society, of the rebuilding of Sodom and Gomorrah, of temples of Baal, Dagon and Molech. It has led people to believe that love is the answer and there is no personal or national retribution from the Owner and Creator of all that exists. Two thousand years of grace is going to come to an abrupt end, and His wrath and fury will be incalculable.
“These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.” (Psalm 50:21)
If pain and suffering is what it takes to draw a person to the eternal love of the Lord, then pain and suffering is what He will bring.
If you love this world, you are an enemy of God, if you love the things of the flesh, if pride is what drives you, if you have no regard for the Lord God in your life you will not find yourself in His favor, “but the wrath of God abideth on him.” (John 3:36) My friends, even in the age of grace His wrath abides, the curse is still on the planet, men rebel, animals suffer, what you are witnessing out there in the world is not climate change, it is not mankind expressing himself in ways that are or ever have been considered normal behavior, it is not the rising up of the elites and the poor being made poorer, it is the wrath of God approaching, and when it arrives you will know it is from the hand of God.
He does not think like we think.
“The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.” (1 Sam. 2:6)
Pick any instance throughout all of history, entire populations killed, children being horribly abused, animals slaughtered for amusement, God was there, He was watching. “Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.” (Eze. 18:4)
There is only one of two places that any of us will spend eternity in, the joy of the presence of the Lord or eternal damnation and pain, it is His creation, He has set the rules, you have no say in the matter, save for either repenting or denying.
It does not bother God as you think it does to leave souls in suffering for all of time, He does not think like we do. This is the God you have chosen to serve, now the question is, can you with this knowledge still serve Him in love?
