That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.  And the Glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou has loved me.  The Word of our Lord Jesus Christ in John 17:22-23

Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus and bound him.  And led him away to Annas first; for he as the father in law of Caiaphas,which was the high priest that same year.  Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that is was expedient that one man should die for the people.  John 18:12-14

* A band of  Roman soldiers is 600-1000 men sent to arrest one man, who all fell to the ground when Jesus said “I am he”, an insight given by Pastor of a local Baptist Church.  Caiaphas had already decided that one man should die, enough said for a fair trial.  This was destiny revealed.  Meditate on that for a moment.

For behold, The Lord, the Lord of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water, The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient, The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.  And I will give children to be princes, and babes shall rule over them.  And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.  Isaiah 3:1-5

Do we see the world being shaped for God’s Glorious Appearing?  Do we hold fast the hope of His Revelation to judge all mankind for our iniquities and obedience?  Do you see that the circumstances are in fact being perfectly aligned for persecution of the beloved, for the world to cry out for the man of perdition to save them from the tragedy and for the Jews to have the Messiah revealed to the remnant nation?  The purposes are Divine, they represent God’s Infinite dependability, His inescapable Truthfulness, Righteousness and the imminence of His Holy Word.  This world is running out of time, it is in entropy, winding down toward God’s reinvention of the Heaven’s and the Earth.  Take hope that though things appear to be getting worse, it has all been foretold in the Bible and we know what comes after the chaos is the Righteous Reign of Peace through the Hand of God.  His Glory has been shared so that we might be One in Him.  Does that knowledge bring you Hope and Peace.  I hope that it finds you encouraged and empowered this very morning, in the Name of Jesus Christ the King of All.
