What in the world?

Interestingly, you ask this, as I am now restudying Daniel and have just finished chapter two. There is the traditional expository view of what Daniel is saying in the verse below. I will not argue with the conventional view, but of all the commentaries I checked, the scholars seem to dance around on who “they” are and the Aramaic definition of what “the seed of men”(zerǎʿ)  is.

It is mysterious. I have suspicions, but I do not want this post transferred to the Conspiracy Section, LOL.

Daniel 2:43 (KJV) And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

Yeah Dennis, when I heard that, something clicked in my mind and I thought that it seems to make so much sense. The mixing of manmade items with the created being made in God's image. Another way of desecrating God's creation which is what violence also does.

Other companies are also in hot pursuit but with varying approaches.

It doesn't make sense to me to just sit on your hands and do nothing at all.

Spreading the truth about those running for office, supplying data backing up the evil of past records of voting for/against bills supporting leftist agenda is being responsible and a good steward of our very-blessed-by-God country we are privileged to live in.

Spreading the truth of the word, sharing truth/light of the gospel to the lost and dying world is the spiritual stewardship we have been entrusted with also, and foremost lest we forget we also were at one time lost in darkness till some faithful believer shared the good news with us.   Balance.. 

Thanks Debp...

I'm not worried and I know that the Lord is in control....and Jesus will eventually return to make things right.

However, as Christians, we should use our vote in order to vote for someone with more conservative policies.

It doesn't make sense to me to just sit on your hands and do nothing at all.

 

In the world we live in today I don't know if we would get anyone we would approve as born again Christians. We ask God that your will be done then leave God in control. I really could care less what the candidates do.

I agree with @missmuffet. It's good to see you active on Worthy!

If one is moved to become engaged with all of this, then that's what one should do. I've never been the least bit concerned with what the world does; I occupy myself with serving the needy and the homeless. It's what the Lord equipped me to do. 

Let the dead bury their dead, I say.

Yes, a true born again Christian should not worry about what is going in our world today. So many people are freaking out about the elections. God is going to allow whoever He wants in office to win. It is all about His plan He has for this world. Satan loves worry because when we worry it shows we do not have 100% of trust and faith in God. You and I can see what is going on in our world today is the stepping stone to the 7 year tribulation. In fact we are living in exciting times. The worse it gets the closer we are to the rapture. You and I know that God can do anything. There is nothing that He can't do. So pray to God and give Him our world and what is going on in it today. He has total control.

Amen to not worry .. there is no greater then the great I am who just happens to be our Father. I disagree with "God is going to allow whoever HE wants in office to win". Well if we believe in what 1620 about 41 people made a covenant with God then He is for that constitution. The people vote for who they want in office. God does not void that or ignore that and just does what ever He wants. He won't do that in our own life's. There is reason were told to be praying 24/7 about everything. You know I look at my own life and why is it ok for me to be human and make mistakes get it wrong yet someone that's out in the open where we get to see them .. kinda for what they really are and we say, nope.. God would never allow that.. He would never pick them. Yet He did find and picked you and me. 

I know what Glen Beck believes. I do not watch follow the guy but I watched this short clip of him talking about Trump and GOD. It was awesome .. it was spot on. We right here should be the first to stand up and say.. ooh man I know what you mean. I know me.. I know the kind of person I am yet .. makes me cry.. .. Yet He found me.. He loves me. See I just said yes. Were all still a work in progress no? So if something is not working right no matter what it is I always try to fix it .. clean it. Love taking old things making them look new or that old look.. wait was that me in the mirror? Pfft

I see two choice.. I see hope in one and GOD help us with the other. This will go over good. I do kind a want Kamala to win..no hear me out. A prophet in the 50's I believe said before Christ returns a woman will be the last president or she will be vice present. Haha.. its just.. like you I wanna go home..but I pray this lasts as long as He wants.. its not my creation.. so I'll wait.

God is sovereign over everything, including the elections. God rules over all things and that includes people.

Hi Marathoner, That is a very kind and compassionate thing to do,serving the needy and the homeless. God loves that you are serving Him. We all have our gifts and that is your gift.

I think that's a relative statement, Neighbor.

 

Yes it is.  None the less it is not going to be pretty  "out there". The ride is going to be bumpy for sure.

That does not express a lack of hope. Hope certain is in our lord and savior Jesus alone. The kings the rulers they come and go, as do the nations too.

As citizens of a nation where we are, my belief is that a factor of being the 'salt', is a civic duty by adding our voices (at he ballot), to sanity...and that as individuals.
