God Weeps for You, His People.

As I read the news reports, the blogs, the commentaries, and all about the state of our world and, our nation; I sense the heart of God, as He shakes His head and weeps. He wept before. And as He approached, He saw the city, and He wept [audibly] over it. Exclaiming, Would that you had known personally, even at least in this your day, the things that make for peace (for freedom from all the distresses that are experienced as the result of sin and upon which your peace- your security, safety, prosperity, and happiness-depends)! But now they are hidden from your eyes. For the time is coming upon you when your enemies will throw up a bank about you and surround you and shut you in on every side. And they will dash you down to the ground, you and your children within you; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, [all] because you did not come progressively to recognize and know and understand [from observation and experience] the time of you visitation [that is, when God was visiting you, the time in which God showed Himself gracious toward you and offered you salvation through Christ [Messiah]. LUKE 19:41-44 Amplified. Also in the Garden of Eden, He wept when He knew Adam sinned. He wept all down through the ages of time. In the Garden of Gethsemane, just before He took our judgement upon Himself, He also wept. He (Yeshua, Jesus our Lord) still weeps, as He knows the outcome of it all; when the end of time is come upon mankind.
Our time in history, is now pregnant, with the fulfillment of end time prophecy. We are about to witness the birth pangs, as the fulness of time is brought to its conclusion. Time is NOW, for the world to come to repentence. Every knee WILL bow, when the Lord returns. His return may be sooner than you think, in fact He is now opening the door for His return.
REPENT, REPENT! For the Bridegroom comes to gather His Bride. Be in that number. Don't poopoo it off. I'm just a worn out truckdriver, not well educated, not well versed in politics or religion, but this I know. The Bible speaks of His return, it tells of salvation, of love, of grace, and it also speaks of His great mercy. All down through the pages of scripture, is told, again and again, of God's mercy. Even in Judgement He is merciful, to those who will accept His mercy. I know in whom I believe, and am persuaded that, in that day, I will find His mercy. I have already found His mercy, at the foot of The Cross. In the Blood, He shed, just for me. And for you; if you will turn to Him. Confess your sin and ask His forgiveness and He will forgive. Here is a promise from God for His people, who call upon His name. II Chronicles 7:14 kjv. "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
Politics no matter which side we subscribe to will not bring us peace. Wars, no matter who wins or loses, will not bring us peace. Voting, for whom we deem the best candidate for our party, will not bring us peace. Many governments or One World government, will not bring us peace. In fact, peace is not even in the program. Religion, whether Judaism, whether Buddism, whether Hinduism, whether Islam, whether Christianity; in all its many forms, will not bring us peace. Peace can only be found in Yeshua(Jesus) the Messiah.
What is peace? Webster says; peace-a state of tranqility or quiet, as freedom from civil disturbance; a state of security or order within a community provided for by law or custom. The Hebrew word used for peace is shalom. Shalom in the Hebrew is actually more than just peace. In the paleo-hebrew the definition is actually; that which destroys the authority that causes chaos. The authority which causes chaos is that which is opposed to God. The enemy of God is Satan, and as such can only be defeated by God through the blood, given by God, in Yeshua, on the cross. Only that will destroy the authority, that causes chaos. Isa.9:6, .. and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
We can do all the things we think are right, like voting, pressuring the politicians, revolt, protest, or whatever else and we cannot stop the Judgement that we are about to face. God weeps for His people( we are all His people), He weeps because His people do not hear His voice and continue doing their own thing. Just as in the day of the great flood. Before God's judgement. We can however, make sure we are in right standing with the Prince of Peace. REPENT!! FOR YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWS NEAR. Perhaps God's tears, will not be for YOU. He loves you, and does not wish your destruction. Choose wisely whom you will serve. You cannot serve two masters. You are a slave to whom you serve.
