1 | Does this mean that it is wrong to ask? | Rev 17:16 | John Reformed | 59860 | ||
Pastor Glenn, You asked: " Who really was it that held the Christian Missionaries hostage in Afganistan last year? And who really destroyed the twin towers in New York? Or did these things really happen? I will answer your last question first. Yes it really did happen. The christian missionaries were held by the ruling goverment of afghanistan, the Talaban. And, the Twin Towers were destroyed by Al-qaeda. Like all unregenerate people, they do the bidding of their father, the devil. It is only the grace of God that prevented you or I or any other son of Adam from being party to the hi-jacking. These are the human agents responsible for this evil act. Now, I think you will agree that the worst atrocity ever commited by the hand of man was The Crucifixtion of The Lord of Glory. It was perpertrated by Romans, Jews and other Gentiles. But the Bible says it happened because it was God's eternal plan for the salvation of His people. Acts 4:27-28 "For truly in this city there were gathered together against Your holy servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose predestined to occur." God pre-destined the calamity in New York. Not for the evil motive the terrorists had but for His own good purpose. Amos 3:6-7 "If a trumpet is blown in a city will not the people tremble? If a calamity occurs in a city has not the LORD done it? Surely the Lord GOD does nothing Unless He reveals His secret counsel To His servants the prophets." Pastor Glenn, you used several scriptures (1 John 4:3, 2 John 1:7 and 1 Cor 13:12). These passages tell us the identity of the spirit of anti-christ. What do we need in addition to them? Nothing except the enlightment of the Holy Spirit. Is 45:7 "The One forming light and creating darkness, Causing well-being and creating calamity; I am the LORD who does all these." I now ask: Of what importance is vain speculation? If God wants me or you to know the identity of anti-christ or the ten kings or any thing else, He will make it quite clear. We will find the answer in His Word and not in the newspapers. John |

And, John, we can have full confidence in and believe everything we read in God's word. But what we read in the newspapers, or see on TV, or read in school science textbooks these days... well, "It ain't necessarily so!" --Hank | ||||||
