God has spoken clearly through His prophets regarding His people and His land. We have clear examples from both the Bible and from events regarding nations and peoples and their disposition in treatment of the Lord's chosen. The scriptures are clear that those who come against Israel will be cut in pieces. Therefore, a nation's proclivity toward Israel is a factor in its present and its future. And nations are comprised of people, the saved and the unsaved, believer and nonbeliever alike.

God is in control of all things, the Creator of all things. There is His perfect will and permissible will. He will allow things to happen, and He will make things happen.

Isaiah 57:1 says, "The righteous perish, and no man lays it to heart: merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come."

The modern Christian teachings that God would not allow a terrible thing to happen to innocent people is man defining the nature of God. Man's ways, however, are not God's ways. We must understand and trust that we serve a just and righteous God as defined on His terms, not ours.

These are prophetic times -- God's Will Be Done.!!.
