Do not be fainthearted or fearful
at the rumors heard in the land—
one year one rumor comes,
the next year another,
rumors of violence in the land
and of ruler against ruler.
---- mine,
Every now and then, you look at the world and, in particular, the country in which you dwell, and you become fearful, troubled, and disheartened. You see the wicked who are in control and wield power, use it ruthlessly. The weaker the more, the feeble, those belonging to certain faiths are treated callously. Those in the inner circle lord it over those who are labelled as outsiders and foreigners. You are outraged at the absolutely uncaring and blatant disparity between those who are considered acceptable and those treated as pariahs. You cry out to Me, "How long, O Lord, will this injustice go on? How long will your people be crushed, and their voices silenced? How long, O Lord, before You raise up for us one who will govern righteously? So far, there is no one Lord, and the wicked grow bolder, more powerful, more evil in the disparity they have created by fear mongering and by overt and covert means of muzzling the voices that are raised in making the truth heard." So pay attention to the Word I speak to you this day, "I have heard your cries and the cries of those millions upon millions who are being crushed by the Enemy. I am not deaf to the supplications with tears and groanings of the innocent." Continue to pray, to hope, and to have faith that at the appointed hour I will act and I will crush the spawns of the evil one even more ruthlessly than they have crushed those who are Mine, and you are Mine.
