Son, to understand what the year 2015 will be like you need to look at the past. Draw a time line and mark out the major events that took place. Then take the time line out towards the future and you will see what major events that will soon take place. To understand the future you need to know the past.
Lord, when I do this I need to ask why You have allowed the wicked to prosper? They seem to be so healthy and strong. They don’t have troubles like other people; they’re not plagued with problems like everyone else. They seem to have all their hearts wish for!
Son, they wear pride like a jeweled necklace and clothe themselves with cruelty. They scoff and speak only evil; in their pride they seek to crush others with insults and slander. They are filled with pride and arrogance. When I judged them, they foolishly said, “We will replace the broken bricks of our ruins with finished stone, and replant the felled sycamore-fig trees with cedars.” Even after all that has happened people will still not repent, and they will not seek Me.
Son, people don’t understand what I am doing, but someday they will. When people understand history, it will reveal that I AM; the true Messiah. The time of darkness and despair will not go on forever, because a Child was born, and the government will rest on His shoulders. He will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. His government of peace will never end. He will rule with justice and righteousness.
So, keep living out the new commandment I gave; to love your God and to love each other just as I showed you. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are Mine.
Lord, when I finally understand the destiny of the wicked, my heart loses its bitterness. What do I have to be bitter about? I belong to You and You hold my right hand. You guide me with Your counsel, leading me to a glorious destiny. Therefore, I will tell everyone about the wonderful things You do.
