"Whatever the Lord pleases He does, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deep places." (Psalm 135:6)
Our text is today's headlines.
The "Common Market," or "European Economic Community, or "European Union, as it has become known, is going through a "plate shift." NOAA tells us that "the Earth is in a constant state of change. Earth's crust...consists of 15 -20 moving tectonic plates....The heat from radioactive processes within the planet's interior causes the plates to move, sometimes toward and sometimes away from each other. This movement is called plate motion, or tectonic shift." This is also called what is going on in God's "prophetic timetable," King Jesus working humanity toward the last days, "Whatever the Lord [Jesus] pleases He does."
I am not an absolutist on the theology of "end times" prophecy. I do, however, believe that Europe is, and will continue to be, central in the whole, "Beast," "False Prophet," and "AntiChrist" scenario. I cannot remember when I have seen so much consternation in the global press as I have over the vote of England to leave the EU. It is similar to the press's confusion over Trump. There is a sort of, "How can these things be," in the humanist world. Jesus tells us that, "men's hearts (will be) failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken." The US Stock Market is a glaring example of a little of this.
Regardless of how even Christendom wonders from the promised Second Appearing of Jesus, global events just keep "shifting" toward, "that Day." You and I today can rest in the Faithfulness and Promises of King Jesus. He is the Master-Shepherd of, "Yes, even though I walk through the valley...."
Father, in Jesus' Name, I rest in Your Unending Grace, Mercy, and Faithfulness." Amen.

When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
