Hope, change and the answer!! by Gary Rose















For decades now, I have been watching our nation gradually turn from God. This has been obvious because of the rise of things like the persecution of Christians, abortion, same-sex marriage, political corruption, ISIS, black lives matter, etc.. There seemed to be a tipping point in our country, when, at the last democratic convention, the delegates booed GOD. Can you believe it?

However, God has been working on the hearts and minds of myriads of people to change things for the better. To me, this is a fact, as the "impossible" happened: Donald Trump has been elected to be our 45th president. The Democratic party had a billion dollars to spend, all the major news networks on its "side" and undoubtedly countless "back room deals" to fix the election, but failed miserably!

Hillary Clinton is a symbol of a politically correct, corrupt politician, who cares for no one but herself. She is a shining example of those who inwardly hate God. She has yet to learn that human beings are not the center of the universe- GOD IS!!!

Both Hillary and her followers are crying now, but this is nothing compared to what awaits them. For all who deny God and reject Jesus will someday face a fate that is far worse than  a little crying....



Isaiah, Chapter 2 (World English Bible)
 11 The lofty looks of man will be brought low, 
the arrogance of men will be bowed down, 
and Yahweh alone will be exalted in that day. 

  12 For there will be a day of Yahweh of Armies for all that is proud and arrogant, 
and for all that is lifted up; and it shall be brought low:
(emp. added vs. 12 GDR)  13 for all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, 
for all the oaks of Bashan, 
  14 for all the high mountains, 
for all the hills that are lifted up, 
  15 for every lofty tower, 
for every fortified wall, 
  16 for all the ships of Tarshish, 
and for all pleasant imagery. 

  17 The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, 
and the arrogance of men shall be brought low; 
and Yahweh alone shall be exalted in that day. (emp. added vs. 17 GDR)


  18 The idols shall utterly pass away. 

  19 Men shall go into the caves of the rocks, 
and into the holes of the earth, 
from before the terror of Yahweh, and from the glory of his majesty, 
when he arises to shake the earth mightily. 

  20 In that day, men shall cast away their idols of silver 
and their idols of gold, 
which have been made for themselves to worship, to the moles and to the bats, 
  21 to go into the caverns of the rocks, 
and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, 
from before the terror of Yahweh, and from the glory of his majesty, 
when he arises to shake the earth mightily. 

  22 Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils; 
for of what account is he?

AND

2 Thessalonians, Chapter 1 (World English Bible)
3 We are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers, even as it is appropriate, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of each and every one of you toward one another abounds,  4 so that we ourselves boast about you in the assemblies of God for your perseverance and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you endure.  5 This is an obvious sign of the righteous judgment of God, to the end that you may be counted worthy of God’s Kingdom, for which you also suffer.  6 Since it is a righteous thing with God to repay affliction to those who afflict you,  7 and to give relief to you who are afflicted with us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,  8 punishing those who don’t know God, and to those who don’t obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus,  9 who will pay the penalty: eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might,  10 when he comes in that day to be glorified in his saints and to be admired among all those who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed. (emp. added vss. 6-10)



In spite of all these things, there is HOPE. And that HOPE is in GOD, for GOD alone is the ANSWER!!
Turn to HIM!!!
