If God is God

If God is God

^“ And Elijah came to all the people, and said, “How long will you falter between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.” But the people answered him not a word.” 1 Kings 18:21

In Elijah’s story, we see God answering by fire and the people turning back to Him. Could He do the same today I wonder? More to the point is would He do the same today? Well I think maybe the answer to these questions is found in the answer to this – IS He doing the same today? We have forest fires all over the world like never before. We have volcanoes erupting and spewing fire, molten lava, and ash all over – shutting down air routes etc. We have earthquakes of increasing magnitude and frequency all around the world and in particular around the Pacific rim. I need hardly remind America of the devastating effects of a shift in the San Andreas fault on the San Francisco area. Earthquakes fracture gas mains and electric stations and the resulting fires are almost as devastating as the original earthquake itself.

Now what is happening? Meteorites and other space debris is burning up and exploding in the earth’s atmosphere – with the apparent force of an atom bomb. More bush fires; more forest fires, more volcanoes and storm fires, more earthquakes, and on top of it all, exploding meteorites. What is going on? Some say it is the beginning of the great sorrows preceding the second coming. Others say it is the start of the great tribulation. Everyone seems to agree that something big is upon us and that God is showing His hand more than ever before. God is even speaking confirmations of Jesus imminent return through His prophets.

All of this is prophesied Biblically. Not dates and events maybe but the whole scenario most certainly is prophesied. Daniel, Ezekiel, Amos, and Joel all prophesied about it. Jesus spoke at some length about it. Paul wrote about it in his letters. What more do people want? Elijah, in 1 Kings 18:24 said this to the people of his day, “Call on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the Lord; and the God who answers by fire, He is God.”

Do I need to say more? The Bible says that God answers before we ask and I believe He is answering right now - by fire. “The god who answers by fire – HE IS GOD.”

Wake up church – it is happening all around you. Jesus is preparing to return and most are doing little or nothing.

Get ready – He is coming soon. “Amen, come Lord Jesus.”
