Opening seals and events to follow-the last days

Revelation 8:1-13

Rf:

Scary imagery of events on sounding of the trumpets-seven angels vs 6-13-judgment days; fear the Lord and His judgment instead of events from climate change, Israel-Palestine, Hamas conflicts , Ukraine-Russia war (current affairs). Long lasting solutions to earth’s ills by trusting and praying to God to solve them rather through our own bandaging earthly wisdom and solutions. Can we fight with the Sovereign and Almighty God?

God is watching

Psalm 53:1-6 NIV
God is watching at a distance vs 2.
1. For the director of music. According to mahalath. A maskil of David. The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their ways are vile; there is no one who does good.

2. God looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.

3. Everyone has turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.

Love your enemies

Luke 27:1-36

27. “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

28. bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

29. If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them.

30. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back.

31. Do to others as you would have them do to you.

32. “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.

33. And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that.

34. And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full.

35. But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.

Rf:

A very high standard to act on. Needs God’s help and strength to do it.

Confucius over two thousands years ago taught similar things on human relationship.

in Confucius, The Analects, 1992. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you.

Confucianism is one of the most influential religious philosophies in the history of China, and it has existed forĀ over 2,500 years.
