TWO FISH & FIVE LOAVES

         "O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
           who hast set thy glory above the heavens."  (Psalm 8: 1)
  The Holy Bible is the one and only source of true knowledge on the face of the earth.
   God is all knowledge, and there is no knowledge known that is not known of God.
      "He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by names. 
        Great is our Lord, and of great power:  his understanding is infinite."  (Psalm 147: 4-5)
      "Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?  Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counselor hath taught him?"  (Isaiah 40: 12-13)
      "But even the very hairs of your head are numbered." (Luke 12:7)
      "The Lord gave the word:  great was the company of those that published it." (Psalm 68: 11)
   Since the Holy Bible is the knowledge of God, the Bible is about all things past, all things present, and all things future:  for only God has infinite knowledge.
   The prophets of God, therefore, wrote about things future from the knowledge of God, so that people would also know the future according to God.
   The prophecies of the Bible serve as signs, or signals, or even trumpets to warn people about the future:  of things that are good, but also of things that are evil.
   In knowing that these things are true, we should therefore be enabled to believe that the only people on the face of the earth who are assisting God in the blowing of trumpets are Bible-believing Christians.  We are it.  We are the true believers of God and Christ.  We are the only ones who believe that the Bible is true knowledge, straight from the heart and mind of God.
   As such, we know we are small in number.
   As such, we know we are assisting God in the proclamation of His word, and we know we are the voices to declare the truth of Christ.
   The people of the world, on the other hand, are against us because they are against God.  They will not believe in us because they will not believe God.  Neither will they believe that God will do as God has said He will do.
   We know that governments and religions are not our friends as we also know that governments and religions are not friends of God or Christ, and neither are they friendly with the Holy Bible.
   We also know we are the only people who are declaring the future according to God's word.
   We are not proponents of doom and gloom, yet we know that the future will be a time of doom and gloom, disorder and chaos, for we know that these things must come to pass before the day of the Lord.
   The future, therefore, is not going to be lovely, is not going to be beautiful, and there will not be peace on earth, for we know that this belief of people today is only an illusion, a great work of deception, that has been painted in the minds of people by the leaders of governments and religions.
   As true believers, we know that the future will be days of darkness because God has drawn a line in the sand:  by which He will separate believers from non-believers, sheep from the goats, and liars and deceivers from the presence of the Lord.
   As true believers, whether we preach, or teach, write epistles, or post blogs on the internet about the hope we have in Christ Jesus, we know that our voices are not being heard:  for people have turned their eyes and their ears away from God and toward their own gods and upon themselves, to build the world according to their own prideful desires:  a world of fantasy that will be a world without God.
      "Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.  Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things." (Romans 1: 21-23)
   Nevertheless, we are not giving up as true believers because we know that God never gave up on us when our sins separated us from Him.  But now that we are the redeemed of the Lord, we will keep preaching, we will keep teaching, we will keep writing epistles and posting blogs until the day of the Lord.  And though we know we are small in number, we know that Christ can do great things with only two fish and five loaves of bread!
      "Wherefore, seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God." (Hebrews 12: 1-2)
