Why Do The Nations Rage And The People Plot A Vain Thing?

The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, let us break Their bonds in pieces and cast away Their cords from us. He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; the Lord shall hold them in derision. Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, and distress them in His deep displeasure; Yet I have set My King on My holy hill of Zion, (Psalm 2:1-6).

Your hand shall find all Your enemies; Your right hand will find those who hate You. You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of Your anger; The Lord shall swallow them up in His wrath, and the fire shall devour them. For they intended evil against You; They devised a plot which they are not able to perform, ( Psalm 21:8-9, 11).

Then the second angel sounded: And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed, (Revelation 8:8-9).

So Jesus answered and said to them, have faith in God. For assuredly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, be removed and be cast into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you will receive them, and  you will have them,          ( Mark 11:22-24).

You watched while a stone was cut out without hands which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were crushed together, and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; the wind carried them away so that no trace of them was found. And the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth, (Daniel 2:34-35).

Now the interpretation of this dream is explained in the following verses by God through Daniel to the King of Babylon.

And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever, (Daniel 2:44).

You were contemplating on God’s ways. He is so huge and full of majesty, yet He seems to remain quiet to most of the world. You see in truth, He is not quiet, at least not to you. He is always talking, showing you this and that to change your view. His word always speaks to those who have ears to hear.

You ask the Lord, why don’t you open all the ears for our hearts are in Your hands?…..  It is hard to read on the judgment of nations when lives are lost.

Ahhh, child, if they have chosen Me, their lives will not be lost…. not even a hair on their head….. I present Myself to all, child….. There has not been one life here on this earth that  has not seen their God manifested unto them. They have made their choice of life or death!  Child, with the merciful I will show Myself merciful; with a blameless man I will show Myself blameless; with the pure I will show Myself pure; And with the devious I will show Myself shrewd.  For I will save the humble people, but I will bring down the haughty looks,         ( Psalm 18:25-27).

All of a sudden a nation shall fall and another rise…. Man does not give a thought to God…. Men reason the cause away—– financial poverty, a corrupt leader, drought,  or famine.  A plague hits a nation and people do not think back to the plagues given to Egypt as a warning to obey God as well as what is written in Deuteronomy…….  There is a famine here and there…. They reason it on the weather trends. No thought to God and for the curse that flies through the world. Do any consider the plight of nations because they have forgotten You Lord?

They refuse to give the glory to their Creator, child.   For behold, He who forms the mountains, and creates the wind, who declares to man what his thought is, and makes the morning darkness, who treads on the high place of the earth- The Lord of hosts is His name, (Amos 4:14).

My laws have not been hidden….The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night reveals knowledge. There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard. Their line has gone out through the earth, and their words to the end of the world, (Psalm 19:1-4).

You fell back with the power of the words that He spoke.  Child, I will exalt the lowly and humble the proud…. Lord, remember when Abraham asked you if you would spare a city for maybe fifty righteous abiding there? Do You spare nations for maybe even less than fifty righteous are abiding there?

His gaze towards you changed with a look you were not sure  how to interpret…… You thought  maybe you were presumptuous… But not knowing exactly what that word means to the Lord….. You wait…. He turned quickly away and you thought you saw His shoulders shake a bit….. Now what did I do?

He turns to you again, with a smile…. Whew!…..You hear Him say, child, you bring me pleasure in your simple faith…. You glory in the knowing of your Lord….You approach Me in the day of need for your brethren. I am pleased that you understand the purpose of My scepter towards you…..to obtain mercy and find grace in the time of need for others…..Your hands are lifted filled with the needs of others, even those that are hotly pursuing you! Lord, You know I have to pray for my enemies….. You said it, I have to obey….Isn’t that the reason you bring them after me?

You are learning well in following the footsteps of Your King…… Remember the fire and brimstone that came upon Sodom and Gomorrah. I delivered the ones that Abraham, My friend, was concerned about for there wasn’t  10 righteous in these cities, child…… Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words will by no mean pass away. Watch, therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass,  and to stand before the Son of Man,      ( Luke 21: 33, 35-36).

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved, (Ephesians 1:3-6).

May I  have eyes to watch what You do and have ears to  ask what You are thinking about and why? Child, I have answered you and I will show you great and mighty things, which you do not know (paraphrase Jeremiah 33:3)….. Thank You, Lord….. Now look to Me, child….. You do and the next thing you know you are flying!

The terrain is mountainous. The trees are gone and the tops of the mountains are bare…… You see high peaks everywhere, some even have snow on them…… You see the waters surrounding the mountains….. The view is breathtaking. The air is clear and very cold.  You wonder why  the Lord is bringing you here?   Then He says………..
