Last night at our evening church services in Zephyrhills, Florida, we had a wonderful class on Luke, chapter 16. Allan Mullens did a great job and I learned a lot!!!
Having said this, the class was almost topped by Larry Shatzer, who had the opening announcements. Before the class started, Larry read something to us that he found in The Tampa Tribute that day (11/06/16). That something appears in the scanned article, and I thank Larry for sharing it!!! He added the passage below to the article (in the New American Standard Version 1977, but here it is in the WEB).
Daniel interprets king Nebuchadnezzar's dream and says...
Daniel, Chapter 4 (World English Bible)
Dan 4:25, that you shall be driven from men, and your dwelling shall be with the animals of the field, and you shall be made to eat grass as oxen, and shall be wet with the dew of the sky, and seven times shall pass over you; until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will.
Dan 4:26, Whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree; your kingdom shall be sure to you, after that you shall have known that the heavens do rule. (emp. added, GDR)
So, the question: Is 2016 a chastisement? I answer, YES!!!
What have we NATIONALLY done to deserve chastisement? We have tried to remove God from our culture and have sinned!!!
Are the candidates and embarrassment? Again, I answer, YES!!!
However, when I "get past" the personalities and focus on the platforms, I realize that only Donald J. Trump has a plan for America that will preserve the republic. I genuinely believe his policies will "Make America great again"!!!
Larry was quite correct in quoting the passage from Daniel, for no matter who wins the office of President Of The United States Of America- God is in control. Let me repeat that.....
GOD IS IN CONTROL - BELIEVE IT, FOR IT IS TRUE!!!
