Select Destruction.

Scripture:
“... if a country sins against Me by committing unfaithfulness, and I stretch out My hand against it, destroy its supply of bread, send famine against it and cut off from it both man and beast, even though these three men, Noah, Daniel and Job were in its midst, by their own righteousness they could only deliver themselves...survivors will be left in it who will be brought out...you will see their conduct and actions; then you will be comforted for the calamity...' Ezekiel 14:13-14,22


Application:
God doesn't operate, and never has operated, by whim. He is clear and consistent. If a country chooses to follow false prophets (who will be revealed), that country will be destroyed. But note: God will not destroy everyone. His faithful will survive. Unfortunately, even they won't be able to pray away the country's destruction. Perhaps they can pray for more time for people to come out of deception, but they may only rescue themselves. But now, Christ's righteousness will cover more people (believers).


Prayer:
We're asking for more time for the deceivers of the world to be revealed and people to return to You, dear Lord our Father. Amen.
