God's Plan For Man Final

nor the Son, but only the Father. ‘ As i t was i n t he day s o f Noah , s o i t wi l l be a t t he c omi ng o f t he Son o f Man . ’ For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. The people knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. [The people who could have entered refused.] This is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man; two men will be in the field, one will be taken [accepted] and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken [accepted] and the other left.” (Matthew 24: 36-41) Hardship is the common denominator for those who are graced to prophesy [speak] the will of God. It’s been much the same over a span of hundreds or thousands of years. The task of an inspiration is following the instructions, regardless of the severe mental pressures, and we know why. Even though God inspires with a whisper, once the whisper is heard and accepted, hesitation or doubt is no longer an option. Imagine how difficult it was for Noah’s family to fully comprehend what was happening, and how devastating the loss was when the ark settled and the doors opened. What emotions do you think Noah and his sons experienced, when the door had to be closed in the faces of the people who began to pound on the door as it started to rain? It’s not an easy task to be obedient, especially when experiencing the benefits of deliverance and seeing the destruction of others left behind. Life is more essential than death, so humanity was spared and given a solution because mercy is greater than vengeance. We can accept the truth and experience a gentle, instructive mercy, or we can experience another dimension of justice: getting what we deserve. The choice is individual, yet most people seem confused, because they don’t realize the effects of their present, past, and future choices. Not much has changed. Deliverance is a means to rescue the innocent, but trust is necessary for the journey. Mercy is love in action, and deliverance is a method to separate us from evil. God always intervenes in a human way for our well being, sending the same message time and again. How well we trust and comprehend the message reflects in our choice to follow or reject that message. Satan, the architect of evil, must be purged one way or another! Man is blessed with the honor of purging evil; the righteous are purified for life to be sustained, or this world must end. But the world will never end! Humanity is predestined to be delivered from evil, preferably defeating evil
