Psalm 146  Praise The Lord!  He is our Help. He is our Hope.  He is our Creator, our just Judge, our Provider,  our Rescuer, our Healer,  our compassionate Redeemer.   He reigns forever!  You are marvelous beyond words Father God, Mighty and Loving in all You do.  I Praise Your Name.

Ezekiel 38-39  The future of Israel is the subject of this prophecy given to Ezekiel.  These events have not yet been fulfilled, but are still to come.  Great nations will once again come against Israel.  They will come in great number, with mighty weapons, like a cloud they will come to cover the land. When this happens God will come against them.  He will sanctify Himself, in zeal and blazing wrath, God will shake the mountains, He will strike with His sword.  He will send pestilence, rain, hailstones, fire and brimstone.   There will be no doubt in any person's mind that God has done this.
God will magnify Himself, sanctify Himself, and make Himself known " in the sight of many nations; and they will know that I am The Lord" 38:23    " And My holy name I shall make known in the midst of My people Israel ; and I shall not let MY holy name be profaned anymore. And the nations will know that I am The Lord the Holy One in Israel.  Behold, it is coming and it shall be done, declares The Lord God, That is the day of which I have spoken" 39:7-8
Israel will know their God.  The nations will know the God of Israel.  No one will be ignorant of the One Who made all things.  We will rejoice in that day.  The only sad part is that so many unbelievers will be forever lost to that joy.

You are God alone, from before time began.  And You are on Your throne. You are God alone!

The Shepherd speaks:  In times past God made Himself known with mighty works, yet there were unbelievers.  In the future God will do this extraordinary work of delivering Israel from a massive army and nations will believe,  but there are still unbelievers who die.   Right now, in this present time,  Oh God let us see Your mighty works and let the lost turn from their rebellious ways and believe and follow Jesus.  May the nations know the God of Israel even now.  Lord of the harvest , send forth reapers into the harvest.  Please.
