Did you know? Isaiah 45 and later events.

 Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. Enjoy God's blessings this time of year. YES, God is in control.

    This is an expression Christians use all the time, "God is in control", yet we often do not realize or recognize HIS control.

   Sometimes we say:  "If God is in control why did this or that happen"?  Simple, we are looking from a different lens, God has the correct lens and knows the long range effects.

  Well, if God is in control then why did the current administration come in and support so many social pressures that go against the Bible.  It is really very simple- ---WE, The People of God, must turn from our wicked and evil ways and come back to our God and his ways.

   Interesting note here. If you will go to Isaiah 45 and read you will find that God raised a ruler who was not a man of God, yet he conquered Babylonia and freed the Jews, allowing them, under his rule, to return to Jerusalem and worship in their own ways.     

      Interestingly enough, Donald Trump (even if you don't like him) came in as the 45th president and moved the embassy to Jerusalem.  The Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 was to move the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and not one of the U.S. Presidents from 1995 until Trump had enough stamina and determination to move the embassy. Trump did. He also gave value to religious freedom.

    After Cyrus came another king, his son, Cambyses II (who married his sister). Cambyses II was not a good leader and made efforts to stop the religious freedoms and privileges people had under Cyrus.  In other words, he was not a good ruler.  This is where we are now, with a ruler (U.S.A.) who strides alongside the ones trying to restrict religious freedom and force non-Biblical laws upon us.

   After Cambyses II came Darius I, who was a good ruler. Darius I was Cambyses' personal spear bearer.  (Supposedly Cambyses II's brother, Bardiya revolted against him, however, Cambyses II had his brother killed and this "revolt" was led by an imposter who claimed to be Bardiya {according to historical experts}).

   So, in saying all this, if you follow the Bible and believe the history of old is also the history to the present you can see where we, the peoples of the U.S.A., are headed.

   We have a leader who is allowing things to happen that are not Biblical, BUT, the next ruler should be one who helps us come once again to  One Nation Under God.
