The numbers are so astounding no one will ever again think that Jesus is white and speaks English. &nbsp;These kinds of statistics are a shock even to people like myself who have faith for the strangers among us. His plans, not our evils, determine what he will do and when.<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The 2nd Coming is called the Blessed Hope, and indeed &nbsp;life would be hopeless without believing in His return. &nbsp;God&#8217;s predictions about the End Times are of increasing trouble for the world and blessing for believers in the midst of them. &nbsp;Climate Change Panic is because people have not read what God said &#8211; that He and He alone would destroy the world by fire.<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Yes, we can plan on a hotter and hotter environment. &nbsp;And our political environment will get hotter and hotter too yet He gave us everything we need for life and godliness. &nbsp;He has not given us a calendar of events; in fact, we have the opposite &#8211; a guarantee that even Jesus does not know the final date and time.<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our job is faith in His promises and obedience to His word, not letting the fallen World dictate our deeds and expectations.<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>Prayer: Dear Lord, give us your peace, not the world&#8217;s peace, and keep out of my brain anything that speaks against you or your plans, In Jesus Name, Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you enjoy these articles please subscribe and then honor us with comments.\u00a0 We provide Think Pieces for a public on the brink of mammoth changes and we need all hands-on deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a9CorneliaScottCree.com.
