A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand;
but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Psalm 91:7-8
As we draw closer to The End, we must also draw closer to the Lord Jesus
As God pours out His Judgment, it may come very close to us,
like it did for the Israelites when they were being released from Egypt
God protected them
If you think about it, God protected them from Himself,
meaning, He had no intention of allowing His judgment
to fall on those who trusted Him
The Israelites were protected by the Lord
And I will put a division between my people and thy people:
to morrow shall this sign be. Exodus 8:23
There was the plague of flies, then the Lord did this
after He had warned Pharaoh to let His people go:
And the Lord did that thing on the morrow,
and all the cattle of Egypt died:
but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one. Exodus 9:6
That does not mean things will always be as we want them to be
The Israelites still suffered hardships and trials
Jesus has already warned us of those
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace.
In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer;
I have overcome the world. John 16:33
So, Look to the Author and Finisher of your faith, brethren
He is there to see you through
Read of what He has already done to know that He will be faithful to you
Look for His blessings and seek refuge under His shadow
Scriptural References:
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;
who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross,
despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12:2
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
Psalm 91:1
