For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.
What I tell my wife - He better get down here quick, cause this is all going too fast to hell. The devil needs to be stopped, he's having too much fun at our expense :(
And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming; that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved.
What a sweet thought. Thank you for that. My dad was then a hobby photographer, so I think he was showing off his skills. I wonder if he wondered what I would be doing 50 years later! As a fascinating side note, he would have turned 101 yesterday!

Thank you, Janice. I always appreciate the Biblical perspective (as I get angrier and angrier with the evil).
Me every day...but for the Word!

Amen!
Reading from The Valley of Vision this morning...
"Thou hast led me on and I have found Thy promises true,
I have been sorrowful, but Thou hast been my help,
fearful, but Thou has delivered me, despairing, but Thou hast lifted me up.
Thy vows are ever upon me,
And I praise Thee, O God."
Grateful for His words of truth.

Consider that the devil is being restrained…

God knew that the little girl in that picture 50 years ago would be here today to be an encouragement to others in this battle.

This is nothing compared to what the 3 1/2 years of Satans rule will be under the Tribulation! Armor yourself up.
Better yet accept Jesus as Lord, acknowledge his resurrection, confess your sin and be saved. Believers are not destined for wrath of the tribulation.
If I'm wrong I will change my mind.
Of course! And I concur. However it will be horrible for all who are here. The only hope is Jesus.
