Over five

 

years ago.

I knew where I was going.

Who I was going to be with.

And why all of that was so.

Ya might wanna try 

and figure out 

how any of that is possible 

without anybody

ever having told me.

Joel 2:28-32

28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.

30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.

32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.

Excerpts from 

Matthew Henry Commentary 

on Joel 2

Verses 28-32

"The effect of this blessing: They shall prophesy; they shall receive new discoveries of divine things, and that not for their own use only, but for the benefit of the church. They shall interpret scripture, and speak of things secret, distant, and future, which by the utmost sagacities of reason, and their natural powers, they could not have any insight into nor foresight of."

"By these extraordinary gifts the Christian church was first founded and set up, and the scriptures were written, and the ministry settled, by which, with the ordinary operations and influences of the Spirit, it was to be afterwards maintained and kept up."

Said a while back:

"The two most powerful people to walk this earth since Old Testament times are here on this earth right now and about to join forces."

You might have laughed when I said it,

(They laughed at Noah when he was building his boat as well, 

till it started raining.)

but I bet you sure aint laughing now.

"From the Iran-Iraq War in the 1980s forward to now, 

the Islamic Republic has proven far more resilient 

than its critics expected, 

in large part because

 

it has a pattern of using 

short-term retreats 

to pursue long-term, 

consistent goals. 

(Like right now.)

The regime gives ground when necessary 

but always circles back to take back its concessions.
