In times like this many people forget what prayer is all about
:
Gratitude. First and foremost, we must remember to
thank Jesus for this incident, as it is undoubtedly a pivotal part of
His Master Plan, a Manifestation of
His Love towards mankind in times of need!
Romans 7:25
I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
God is
Merciful (Jonah 4:2). Some unsaved persons will ask why
Jesus did not prevent this French incident in Nice. While the answer to this apparently difficult question is
easy and
straightforward, it is still best to write it down here for the
unsaved who frequent our Forum and frown upon the decisions of Jesus, Blaspheme and refuse to
Repent (Revelation 16:11).
OK. Why did Jesus not prevent this terrorist act?
- Why ask this in the first place? Instead, you should be thanking Jesus for all the terrorist acts that He DID prevent. You've obviously never heard of them! Why? Because they did not occur, they failed to occur because Jesus prevented them. For instance, there have been no terrorist attacks agains True Christians™ although the World mocks us. Why? Because Jesus has prevented them (not that they would be of any use, as we have nothing to fear, death by incidents such as these would only accelerate our speedy entry into Heaven to be in Eternal Bliss with Jesus for Ever!).
- Why this incident then? We know that Jesus either accepted it by not preventing it or designed it Himself. Obviously, this is both a warning (Ezekiel 33:4) and an act of Love (John 3:16).
As terrible as this incident is, it is of
negligible magnitude compared to the stuff that
Jesus will do when He Returns! He is whispering at the moment:
"Lo! Hark! Repent! This is what I can do now, tens of you are dead and in Hell now because you Repented not and, instead, allowed fornication, nude beaches, Sodomy, Catholic cultist paedophilia and related stuff! Be warned!" Soon He will be
shouting to the sinners!
- He'll poison their drinking water (Revelation 16:4)!
- He'll destroy their food sources (Revelation 16:3)!
- He'll burn them alive in scorching Sun (Revelation 16:8)!
- He'll kill billions, not some dozens, with His Celestial Army (Revelation 9:18)!
Jesus must have accepted the latest terrorist attack to show the world
a tiny preview of the shape of things to come. For that and that alone we must
thank Him in
Prayer,
Sermon and
Hymn!
Revelation 11:17-18
Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
Thank you, Jesus!
Yours in Christ,
