Still searching...

Thank you for the reply's...

 

 

 

Searching is good.   Keep on seeking and you will keep on finding.

One little thing ... the plural of reply is "replies", not "reply's".

Here's an illustration of the kind of thing I mean.

A car is travelling on the motorway, at 50 mph.  The driver decides that if he comes up behind a car travelling at 45 mph, he'll pull out, check for safety, then accelerate past the slower car.

He keeps driving, at 50 mph, for half an hour, then comes up behind a car, travelling at 45 mph.  The driver then changes his behaviour in real time (according to the predetermined precept), pulls out and accelerates past the slower car, then returns to his 50 mph cruise.

In the Lord's case, he has planned what will happen, and when, not only the precept, but the idea is similar.

I concur with @teddyv regarding the UN: a toothless entity which in and of itself, is merely a venue for geopolitical posturing on the part of the nations of men. Thus, the only "conspiracy" afoot is the wickedness of wicked men. The evil of man is nothing new under the sun, and still all things proceed according to the will of the Lord God Almighty who declares the end from the beginning. 

Never forget who comprises the UN --- the nations of this earth. There is none righteous, not one.  

There's a lot more to it than that.  Just one example would be the U.N.s education programme (education is far from toothless).

Thank you for your observant reply.
I appreciate all those who have contributed.
But nothing has changed (satisfied) my curiosity/thinking/understanding.
As understand it, no matter what I do, no matter what anybody does, no matter what the unseen realm does, God's got it covered.  ALREADY. That in itself is notable.
This will only contribute to my feeling of, ---sadness, as God has already pre arranged my chastisements, my blessings, my sicknesses, my life. What part then do we have in this 'life'. How can you justify statements that God has sorrow, has been pleased or angered, grieved, when He already knows every iota of data. How can you have emotions with out the necessary ingredients to create them. You cannot say scripture is lying, and for sure God is not lying. I posed this earlier, and was given a blanket covering, God knows all, and does not change His mind. That's cool.
I'll just keep on keeping on, and no biggie. I need to get back to building cabinets and be productive. Trust in the Lord. Some things are meant to be, as has been already pointed out here.

You seem to be implying that lack of knowledge of the future is a necessary ingredient, in order to have emotions; but, God created our emotions (in his image) and he is eternal and omniscient.

I would say that emotions can be a proper response to attitudes, words, deeds and events, whether you know in advance that they will happen or not.

When someone has a terminal illness, and you know that that person is going to die, in a few days, does that mean that you are not sad, when the person dies?  No, the sadness is just as real as if it were an unforeseen accident.

Yes, the cabal wants to return the world to feudalism, with them as the lords and us as the serfs.

Yes, it is a dark place to dwell (useful to know, but not to dwell upon).  I'm in the trying not to dwell upon it phase just now, not entirely successfully.

Return to? How about remain in, just the veneer has changed?

By the way, this statue has since been removed as it was loan, not a permanent feature. Here.

Sadly, that won't change the U.N. one bit.

No, but the way some (not so much here) were going on about this...
