- Is YHWH (God) real?
- Why is He allowing so much misery?
- Why won’t He make it all go away?
- I had a most interesting and informative discussion yesterday. It centered basically around the nature and reality (YHWH) of the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit. There are, in essence, three questions that I got out of it, and they are. Is YHWH real? Why is He allowing so much misery, trials, troubles and tribulations to come up on us? Why won’t He make it all go away? My answer and belief is this. Answer to the first question. Yes, YHWH is real. And if realer is a word then I choose it to describe how real He is: realer than you or I will ever be. because His existence superseded time (was before time) because it is time. He created all that was created and is still creating. I haven’t seen man get anything he created right yet (10, 15, 20 years from its beginning, something fall off or it falls apart or become deadly) (The Book of Genesis( The beginning)). A Note: I would rather believe that there is a much greater power controlling everything than men, who bleed, eat, sleep and die (but does not raise himself up), the same as I and whose powers are just as limited as mine, has control over me.
Answer to second question. God has seen the hearts of man; that they are crooked, evil, greedy and selfish: most don’t see a way to change. And even though He knows there are those who truly love and want to serve Him (that’s what we are here for) He also knows that there are those who strongly oppose Him: whether for lack of knowledge or just a strong teaching against Him, Whom they think has complete control over all things (at present it may not seem like it, but He does, just wait and see) and they can’t stand the thought of this control. For this reason He allows men to choose their destination (free will). But as their life’s journey unfold, He places obstacles, walls of various natures, before them to see who will they call upon: Him, themselves, another man, the devil?. You see, we have left YAH and all His awesome ways; we feel that it is through our own effort that we make “IT” happen. Not so, but keep thinking it. YAH is so merciful (unlike man, you do wrong it’s over), kind and loving that when we sin He forgives us as far as the east is from the west(Psalm 103:12) ( two points that never touches; how great is that) and He doesn’t bring them up again (like man) because He choose not to, but to forgive us as many times as it takes to get it right. (Matthews 18:22). YAH loves us, all of us and no matter what you do if you repent He will forgive. He picks us up, dust us off and strengthen us to get back into the fight.
Answer number three. Our God is a progressive God. From the beginning to the end He has laid our path, of life, out for us to follow, with ease and happiness. He does what He does in the order that causes the greatest results for Him. And since He knew (the moment they ate from the tree of knowledge), that the hearts of man, in these days, are going to continue to be evil, He is bringing it all to a culmination, when His Son our Saviour, Yashuah, returns; then He will set it back, in the order intended, love, peace, joy, happiness. But until then, like a theatrical play, all scenes must be played out before the final curtain. (The Book of Revelation (to reveal). God’s got it no worry no fear.
