So this morning I opened my Bible, and God told me "read Ezra 6:12"... at least that's what I thought He said. --
[You see... I haven't been very communicative with God lately. I mean, we talk a lot, and I suppose I meditate on Him and what he may be saying... but I haven't cracked my Bible since the last time I went to church... which was in Sept. I think]
-- Anyway, having not
really communicated with God in a long while, I wasn't totally sure I was hearing Him at all.
So, I read Ezra 6:12-22. Afterward, I was convinced I wasn't hearing Him. However, as i was finishing the chapter, I thought again He said, "read Matthew 23". So, I read Matthew 23.
In Ezra 6, King Darius (Babylonian king) decrees that the Jews can rebuild their Temple... and they do. In Matthew 23, Jesus tells the disciples that the Temple will be destroyed, and discusses the signs of the end times.
Coincidence? I don't think so. I think I
was hearing God, but I still don't get it.
What's he trying to say? I'm listening, but apparently not hearing.
