"That Men May Know"

"That Men May Know"

"That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth."  (Psalm 83:18)  The earth is a swirling, roaring, pounding, battling, rumbling, amalgam of terrifying confusion and chaos.  Why is all of this happening?  "That Men May Know."

"Declare what is to be, present it - let them

take counsel together.  Who foretold this long

ago, who declared it from the distant past?

Was it not I, the LORD?  And there is no God

apart from me, a righteous God and a Savior;

there is none but me."

(Isaiah 45:21)

To whom do we go when the world is falling apart?  Whom do we call when it seems the heavens are falling, the ground is erupting, the seas are churning, and the earth is burning, flooding and shaking?  There is only ONE, and His name is Jesus Christ our Lord!  The universe itself knows He's coming; the earth is groaning for His appearing; the animals are restless; the fish of the seas are losing their innate compass direction; the birds of the air sense the "atmospheric" change approaching; all is preparing  ...  except those most important  ... men, women, and children  ...  those for whom the God of eternity gave His life, His blood and His body.  It's a global "Awakening" that Almighty God is coming soon  ...  and worldwide revival is about to explode.  Why?  There is no getting around it; the Prophets foretold it; the Bible predicted it; the Lord Jesus Christ created and pronounced it; and it's for the best reason of all  ...  That Men May Know!

"For you, O LORD, are the Most High over all the 

earth; you are exalted far above all gods."  

(Psalm 97:9)

That all men may know  ...  what?  That Jesus Christ is Lord and King; He is the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace; and the universe is His domain; the earth is His and the fullness thereof; He rides on the wings of the wind; and His power can none tame; His thunder demands attention; His rainbow is the salve of terror; His light kills the darkness; and His Glory consumes the profundities of men!  He IS  ... that men may know!

"Sing to GOD, sing praise to His name, extol Him who

rides on the clouds - His name is the LORD - and

rejoice before Him."

(Psalm 68:4)

All need to know; All; every living soul, needs to know the ONE who holds their lives in His hands.  He IS Love personified, Joy inexplicable, the Alleluia Always, Peace percipience, humility in the vortex of Greatness, the life giver and the life saver, the lover and the judge; a lamb and a lion ... He IS, and always will be, Jesus Christ our Lord!

"For you are great and do marvelous

deeds; you alone are God."

(Psalm 86:10)

Before long, the whole world will be looking up  .. from whence cometh our help!  The Lord is a very present help in times of trouble.  There is no one alive who can help this traumatized world, other than the Lord Jesus Christ!  He is our source of comfort; He is our solace in the night; He is the captain of our ship; and He will lead us home!

In this time of uncertainty, we can sing that comforting song, "I'm under the Rock that is higher than I; O Jesus, hide me; Jesus hide me under the Rock!  For thou hast been a shelter from my enemy; hide me under the rock that is higher than I."  For Him to hide us; we must know Him personally  ...  Lord, forgive me of all of my sins; fill me with Your Spirit; I will be baptized in Your name, and I will be a witness for You all the days of my life.  Amen and Amen!

You've got to know where you're going, and that this life in earth is not all there is!  Why did Jesus Christ come in the first place?  Why did He die and rise again?  Why is He coming back, and what is the purpose of the Holy Bible?  Why must I be filled with His Spirit and baptized in His name?  The answer is "Heaven!"  To get there, Jesus Christ made it easy ... He IS the Way, the Truth and the Life (John 14:6)  ...  "That Men May Know"  ...  Men may know what?  ... WHO to follow!
