Birds attacking people in Chicago, extreme heat in the west, tornadoes in midwest, 8 inches of hail in Nebraska, fires, floods, earthquakes, cyclones, famine, violence and still people don’t see, or don’t want to see. HaShem is trying to get our attention. He is warning us to repent and return or turn to Him. France’s President Sarkozy who claims that France will always be a friend of Israel, tells Israel at a special meeting before the Knesset that Israel needs to stop building in Judea and Samaria and Israel needs to divide Jerusalem giving half to the terrorists. With friends like France who needs enemies? But they aren’t unlike our government who have been doing the same thing for years, each time our country reaps the consequences. France is just one more country that is added to the list of the countries coming against Israel. They do it with a smile and a handshake. States like California and Massachusetts, brazenly pass laws supporting what HaShem calls an abomination, and we wonder why things are going awry. People support candidates that openly lie, but who cares, they “misspoke”. And some wonder why. Children dishonor their parents, parents don’t discipline their children, and we wonder why. It seems that we have become as the nation before the flood, where the thoughts of man’s heart were evil ALL the time. Then came the mabbul, the flood. People were living their lives not giving a thought to HaShem. They were brazenly disobedient and sinful. They thought they were enlightened and did not need HaShem. Sound familiar? People will be humbled on the Day of the Lord. There are a lot of people telling others about the truth of what is happening. They are not prophets, their eyes are just opened to the truth. Of course, those who are in rebellion see them as crazy and out of touch. We all need to humble ourselves before our Creator. We need to repent of our sin and begin obeying HaShem. We need to turn to the truth and put away our arrogance. If we do not, we still will be humbled on the Great and Awesome Day of the Lord. That time is growing near, the words of prophets are being fulfilled every day. HaShem is merciful and compassionate, and He is just. Call out to Him today, humble yourself, and obey the One true G-d!
