What if this is perfect, this era, this political maelstrom, these events, wars, travesties and significant dilemma?  If you believe that God is in control as the Omniscient, Omnipresent, Almighty ruler of eternity, then perhaps it is a perspective you should seriously consider.  I am not saying that the horror and wickedness of man is perfect in its lust to bring forth and propagate every abnormal sin upon reality.  What I am saying is that what if, this is the only way we will again see the face of God?  What if our current administration is the exact embodiment of characters necessary to usher in the tragic sequences requisite to unveiling God’s Perfect Timing of Revelation.  Perhaps are they necessary in signifying God’s perfect timing for the rapture, tribulation, a return of hearts to God in Israel, the seals, the vials the bowls, the deed to the Earth, martyrs who shall never deny Christ, The Glorious Appearing, judgment and Almighty Reign of God forever and ever?

What if this misery I feel about the current state of humanity’s rigor is actually the driving force to turning our desperate hearts to God in fealty, faith, truth and sanctification?  What if the pain of our illness was never intended as punishment but as impetus to finding God?  What if lost love reminds us much God hurts as He is separated from the children He greatly cherishes and loves?  What if the compassion we feel at seeing the world’s suffering quickens us to God’s heart for humanity?  What if this scene has been repeated ten trillion times and each time we must go through this ridiculous rebellion when we could have had paradise from the outset?  What if we were meant to get it wrong because that is all we are ever capable of until we have suffered the terrible experience of having been so wicked, so polluted, demented and eventually saved by God Himself through Christ?  What if it is in our nature to mock the righteous because we lack the understanding of something so pure, having forgotten our relationship to God?  What if this Earth is the perfect learning ground to exercise our self-centered desire pursuance until we see our misshapen visage in the mirror of God’s law, and only then understand our plight?

I have to assume that since this is God’s unfolding plan, in God’s universe, with the Lord being the only being with foreknowledge outside of time, that this is the perfect way that we must be purified in order to live with God in eternity?  Could Adam and Eve have been obedient and provided an orderly progression of eternal humans, who needn’t be ashamed in the presence of Almighty God?  I don’t know, it seems odd and unlikely to my human understanding.  That is not the case, so such introspection may in fact be useless for anything other than attempting to understand this Amazing God, Our Father, who knew everything about us before the beginning of the universe that He Created, yet still chose to make us after His Image.  Can any of us say that if we knew beforehand the children that we eventually would rear would turn against our every tenet, that we would in fact choose to participate in the event of their conception?  This is enough to create reverence in my heart for the Lord God, as I could not have children that I knew would disobey me fully.

So what if this is perfect?  Shall I accept it and make the best of what I have been given in the light of my inadequacies, poverty, illness, stupidity or shame?  Absolutely.  Praise God for His Perfection and Infinite Glory and thank Him for loving us, which never ceases to amaze.  Thank you Jesus.
