Prepare to Meet Your God! (Part Seven): The Prophesied Blow Falls
Article by John W. Ritenbaugh and Richard T. RitenbaughIn the midst of God's judgment, a dire famine of hearing the Word of God will descend upon the people of Israel. During these terrible times, when His Word is most needed to guide them toward repentance, it will be nearly impossible to find. As calamity strikes, the people will realize too late that God desires their return to Him, but the seeds of destruction are already sown, and the harvest is ripe. They shall wander from sea to sea, and from north to east, running to and fro, seeking the word of the LORD, but they shall not find it. In their panic and desperation, they will stagger like drunks, trembling with fear and anger, searching for what they once regarded so lightly—God, His truth, and His guidance—but it will be nowhere to be found. This famine will drive many to false religions, as they seek any refuge in the storm of judgment. The youth of Israel, lacking a solid foundation of truth from their elders, will be especially vulnerable to deception. While physical necessities become scarce, the true scarcity will be of God's Word, rendering repentance all but impossible in the face of such spiritual drought. God warns His people to redeem the time now, for the days are evil, and the opportunity to cling to Him and His Word grows shorter with each passing moment.
