THE WORKS OF GOD

2 Samuel 24:1 And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he (the LORD) moved (caused) David against them to say, Go, number Israel.

1 Chronicles 21:2 And SATAN stood up against Israel, and provoked (caused) David to number Israel.

Same event in the history of Israel; yet one says Satan caused, and one says the LORD caused.

Isaiah 54:16 Behold, I (the Father) have created the smith (Christ) that bloweth the coals in the FIRE (our God is a consuming FIRE), and that bringeth forth an instrument (Satan) for his (Christ) WORK; and I (the Lord) have CREATED the waster (SATAN) to destroy (destruction of the flesh).

1 Corinthians 5:5 To deliver such a one to SATAN for the DESTRUCTION OF THE FLESH, that the spirit might be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

God does EVERYTHING through the hands of men, God brings his judgements on earth through the hands of men.

Isaiah 10:5 O Assyrian, the rod of MINE (God's) anger, and the staff in their (Assyria) hand is MINE (God's) indignation.

Isaiah 10:6 I (God) will send him (Assyria) against a hypocritical nation (Israel), and against the people of my wrath will I (God) give him (Assyria) a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the street.

Jeremiah 51:7 Babylon hath been a golden cup in the LORD'S HAND .......

Satan is an INSTRUMENT IN GOD'S HAND.

God Bless You

Job Ch 2 V 10 , Job says ; What ? Shall we receive good at the hand of God , and shall we not receive evil ? In all this did not Job sin with his lips . There are many more references like this , especially in the Old Testament , for some reason , it seems to me that people think that because the old covenant has been done away with by what Christ did for us , that means the whole of the Old Testament can be ignored . It boggles my mind that any one could think that . Even things that are plainly written such as that Job reference , some people will try to manipulate or just completely ignore in order to justify their own beliefs .

Sister Suze, I was raised going to church, every time the doors were open. Believe and go to heaven; don't believe and go to hell, it's all up to you. In 50 years of going to church, I was never taught the truth about the kingdom of God.

When God set me down and CAUSED me to study his word, he CAUSED me to study the prophets and Revelations.

I learn more about the kingdom of God from the law and Prophets than I every learned from the New Testament.

I believe it is a great loss that our churches seldom study the Old Testament.

If you never studied anything but Job, Psalms and Isaiah you could come to truth about the kingdom of God.

God Bless You!

May God bless you too ELB . God called you out of this world , I believe He called me out of it too . We cannot be friends of the world and be commited Christians , before anyone criticizes me for that statement they should read their Bible . God is not willing that any should perish but perish they will if they don't repent and put themselves in His hands one hundred per cent . He is our loving Heavenly Father and He wants us with Him for ever . I'm desperate for the return of Christ , please pray for the peace of Jerusalem . I hope to see you and everyone on here , there , in the New Jerusalem , ever so soon . When it is Your will Dear Heavenly Father .
