Job, Chapter One, Beginning at verse 13, says,
" And there was a day when His sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house. "
From here on things went down hill for Job. The Bible account of Job's experience goes on to tell us that, " The seabeans came and took away his oxen, and his asses, And killed his servants.
At the same time, A messenger told him that " Fire of God has fallen from Heaven, and has burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them."
And while he was yet speaking, There came another messenger and said, " The Chaldeans have come and stolen your Camels, and they have slain the servants."
And yet another came and said, " your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brothers house, and ,behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead."
Other that Christ Himself, No man ever suffered as Job suffered.
I want to say, That with all of this suffering, and this will be the subject of this message.
" Job knew what was happening, But he didn't know what was going on."
This is so Important that I need to say it again, " Job knew what was happening, He was able to see all the hardship, and all of the trouble, He felt the pain and heartache,
His property was stolen, his servants were killed, and His children died, " He knew what was happening, But he did not know what was going on."
This reminds me of the World, and most of the Church today.
We see what is happening, We see the slaughter of four thousand Unborn Babies everyday in America, through Abortion.
Fifty Million Babies in all so far, And more on the way, We see what is happening.
We see the homosexual movment in America growing by leaps and bounds. We see the Politions as they sell out to the gay agenda for their vote.
We see the Socialistic agenda of a new President that will make Government the Master of the people.
We are told from the Book of Revelation that there will come a time when the people will not be able to " buy nor sell " except they receive a mark, This mark will be distributed by the Government of that day.
We see the Wars taking place around the world, We hear the rumors of war.
There is a bill before our congress and senate that is refered to the " Fairness doctrine."
Without going into great detail, If this bill is passed into law, The fear amongst the Christian community is that it will be used to outlaw the Preaching of the Bible against such sins as, homosexuality,and Abortion.
Already in Canada, two Ministers have been sentenced to prison for speaking out against homosexuality.
Yes, we see what is happening.
In the Church world, A survey by a christian group called Barna, reported that, Many Christians beleive that Jesus sinned while on Earth.
Others beleive that there are other ways for one to get to Heaven other, than by Faith In Jesus Christ and what he did on the Cross.
The survey goes on to report that many Christians beleive that other faith's, like Islam, can lead one to salvation. Even though John 14: 6 says, Concerning Jesus Christ, " I am the way, The truth, and the life, No man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
To reject that truth is to reject Salvation.
Yes, we see what is happening, But many in the World and within the Church do not know," What is going On."
