A day in The eyes of The LORD is as a thousand in the ‘time’ of Man” 2 Peter 3:8
The LORD knows all and sees all! We shared that “A Day in The eyes of The LORD is as a thousand in the ‘time’ of Man” 2 Peter 3:8
So much can be shared on this; God knows ALL! Amen.
He knows where Man is going, He knows the ‘end’, we have a leading to solder while the fire is hot, we can stand a right. It has not been written on which side you will stand, with Jesus or against. Again so much to share on this point…on that day there will be many souls that say “LORD, I knew you.” And He will answer “I know you not, depart from me..” Matthew 7:21-23
There are many who ‘think’ they are doing The Will of God! Check yourself, before you wreck yourself. Mind you, we are created in the image of God. I was moved to share, God is in Spirit, so are we. We have a ‘period’ of ‘learning’; in the grand scheme it is but a speckle of time, Amen
Psalm 90:12; Psalm 89:47; Revelations 12:12; 1 Corinthians 7:29; Isaiah 50:2; Matthew 24:2. Y’all there are so many more verses, but use this short time wisely. If any Man things he lacks wisdom, let him ask of The LORD who gives plentifully. James 1:5
We have touched on ‘time,’ David, like many people of God sinned greatly. He ‘cheated’, committed murder…

Rather, we should look at BOTH his triumphs and tragedies.

There is a KEY reason we are treading this ground. First, we have an idea of king David’s time, next we are given the lineage from king David to Jesus:
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genealogy_of_Jesus&ved=0ahUKEwig9pvgxoXcAhWttlkKHV9vDUcQFggrMAI&usg=AOvVaw25NZ_EBi4kSjU_DkZyiJhR
This second link is even more significant than the first, in it it studies the lineage from Abraham to David and more. We already see the lineage from David to Jesus.

To take a brief step away from this path, we step into a fact mentioned in the last text. ‘Each time’ the original family of God stepped away, there was a price to pay.
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.ucg.org/bible-study-tools/booklets/the-united-states-and-britain-in-bible-prophecy/from-punishment-to-destiny&ved=2ahUKEwiUrazRyIXcAhUCrlkKHSnpBokQFjADegQIBBAB&usg=AOvVaw1M2Rt74XPFFTzSy_32dd8v
We can see from the above sharing that staying steady on the course has benefits untold. But the first nation of God stepped away and were punished.
We can take a non-Biblical stroll down the pathway to present time with the most recent being the subjugation of the people in Nazi Germany. I am aware this is a sensitive topic and will tread lightly and quickly through it.

There is so much more, people will ask, how about the Jewish people around the world. In truth, why just there I am not sure, but it was. Amazingly, it was not the leadership in the religious community that moved to stop the ills suffered by the Jewish nation, but rather a combination of the world’s superpowers, hence WW2.

We can spend so much time on this, but we must move ahead, for those who would like more information on how it came to an end:

More so, I will point out that a ‘neutrality’ was adopted by the Vatican even though a large number of Catholics were affected negatively. There is currently much argument on this:

To return to our opening verse and topic:
A Day in The eyes of The LORD is as a thousand in the ‘time’ of Man” 2 Peter 3:8
In reference. Jesus was here on Earth 2 short ‘Day’s’ ago! What?! Yes, ‘time’ is not in existence after this ‘life.’ Here on Earth, we are so riddled with the concept of time and doing well. Stop press! We have needs, wants, desires… Alright! We have shared in The Word:
“But my God shall supply all your need, according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
Philipians 4:19
And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. (Heb. 11:6)
I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. (Psalms 81:10)
For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor. No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly. (Ps. 84:11)
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. (Mt. 6:33)
The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked. (Prov. 10:3)
He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? (Ro. 8:32)
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! (Eph. 3:20)
The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. (Ps. 18:2)
Abraham said, “God will provide for himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they went both of them together. (Gen. 22:8)
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. (2 Cor. 12:9)
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. (Jer. 29:11)
Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything. (Gen. 9:3)
The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing. (Ps. 34:10)
And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.” (Mt. 21:22)
You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. (Jo. 15:6)
Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need. (Mal. 3:10)
