Son, since you have asked for understanding about the times you live in, your request has been heard. Don’t be afraid of what I am about to tell you. Be encouraged! Be strong!
Listen and pay attention! For My words are true and insightful. Here are My charges against any nation that accepts My blessing, and then refuses My Word: “You have done wrong to reject My Word, saying, ‘It is outdated and old fashioned.’ You have sinned against Me when you mock My children that live by My Word. You think that you are so enlightened and know what to do, but your faces are covered with so much evil. Because you have not kept the vows made by your holy forefathers, and have treated My favored children with contempt; every curse and every disaster of drought, disease, and war – written against you – will come true, just as I’ve said! Even after the warnings by My prophets you still refuse to seek mercy from Me. How foolish you are! Therefore, I, the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, have every right to decree all these disasters that are upon you now, and progressively coming with intensity.”
Son, be thankful, and do what I have asked of you. Continue to read and obey My word. Then call on Me when you are in trouble, and I will rescue you. Don’t be troubled when these wicked people grow rich and their homes become ever more splendid. For when they die, they take nothing with them. Their wealth will not follow them into the grave. People who boast of their wealth don’t understand that when they die – they WILL face Me!
Lord, why should I fear when trouble comes. I will honor You by giving You praise.
