Judges 9:23 (NKJV), “God sent a spirit of ill will between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech.”
Many may find it hard in today’s society to see the hand of God working throughout the Earth, bringing about His will and sovereignty for His people. It may to some seem like their is no God or that the Lord has turned His back on the people who truly love Him. This is just the contrary once we read and begin to understand the scriptures of the Holy Bible.
First and foremost let me say that God is omnipresent in all things going on in the Earth today. The problem that many believer’s have is that we are sometimes fed feel good stories that God only does good things and if things are going wrong we have failed to bring about His will on the Earth. But the Lord is not always bringing love, peace and happiness to the Earth as we know it. The Lord still has a will and a agenda in which to fulfill His plan and bring it to past. This “Earth Age,” in which we live in is slowly but surely coming to and end just as prophesied in the book of Revelation and countless other books of the Bible.
God is at work in the good and the bad. To those God loves He blesses but also to those He disciplines indirectly through different types of evil and good spirits. As in Judges 9: 23, Abimelech who after ruling over Israel for sometime desired evil among the people and God sent evil His way resulting in a revolt of the men of Shechem. The same is happening today in a world turning more and more unto their own ways and rebelling against The Most High, more and more evil is polluting our world.
This evil will eventually result in the rise of the One World Government, and the Antichrist which God has already predestined will happen in the end time. This evil is foretold in 2 Timothy 3:1-5 (NKJV), “But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!”
As well as 2 Timothy 4:3, “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers.” God knows of this evil, and it is His will for it to come to pass in the Earth. Satan and His Fallen Angels are only tools being used to bring about what was already foretold. It is important to see the Lord in everything not just the good but also the bad, staying prayerful and warning those who do not believe (in love) that Jesus Christ is the only way and returning soon! Shalom….
