It is coming too fast.

Something is horribly wrong; in our world, in our country, our neighborhoods, our families. Flip on the news, surf the net and the face of evil glares back at you. What has befallen this earth and her people? America the beautiful has now become America the battlefield. The Middle East teeters on a very unstable foundation.

Those with eyes to see and ears to hear understand what is coming. Knowing that God will not be mocked, we grieve, we weep, we howl for the miseries that are coming upon us.

Ezekiel was commanded to eat the scroll. He was told it (I believe "it" to be The Word of God) would be sweet but would quickly become bitter. Why would The Word be sweet, only to become bitter?

Hebrews tells us:   "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."

John too was commanded to eat the scroll (Revelation 10). And like Ezekiel, it would be sweet in his mouth, only to become bitter.  Both of these strong, mighty men of faith were commissioned by God to prophesy to proclaim The Word of The LORD to their generation. And so too have we.!.  

To declare the Truth is also our commission from God. It will not be easy, nor will it be well received, but tell it we must. Tribulation awaits His people and His world.  Rejoice that you will be worthy to be called His follower.  

Pray and proclaim His Truth. His Words are sweet with bitter consequences.  John saw it and rejoiced. Ezekiel saw it and rejoiced.  

We too must see it, share it and rejoice!!
