But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. 2 Peter 3:10
We had a dry June with three weeks of no rain at all. However, last night as I watched the radar display, I saw a building storm that appeared to be headed right for us...from the north! One little cell, at least it looked little on the map, built up and jumped us with hail and rain. The rail (rail? Thank the Lord for proof reading, what in the world is rail?), I'm sorry, hail was mercifully on the small side and oddly there was little wind, said the man in the eye of the hurricane.
There are of course a couple of reasons for having no wind in a storm: one, there really isn't any associated with the storm except perhaps too high to feel; and two, the observer happens to be in the center of rotation, kind of like the dummy saying there is no wind in a hurricane as he popped his head out just as the eye passed right over him. We have watched Biblical prophecy in a similar way these past few years.
The important part about the alarming prophecies of the end times is that they will come. It may seem that no wind is blowing right now, or that the storms have been missing, but the Lord's day will come as Peter assures us. The signs we look for will coalesce into a fast-moving storm one day, and it will not miss. The Rapture, the Tribulation, the saints beheaded for their testimony, and the glorious return of our Lord Jesus will all happen along with the many other signs foretold, just as the Lord through His prophets said they would. One of those tribulation prophecies just happens to be zero wind on the earth. How very interesting!
May God have mercy on those who will not believe!Bucky
