Words of wisdom in a repost below from the Remnant Disciples blog. The article struck me as timely because I have been feeling in my spirit that we are in a type of calm before the storm. While all the norms in our culture are being turned on their head, and it hardly feels “calm” to those of us who are awake, most Americans continue living the good life. What is coming in the not too distant future will catch them totally by surprise. Don’t get caught unawares.
There is smoke on the horizon.
When the winter is dry, and followed by a hot summer (often the case here), the earth is parched, the vegetation wilted and/or tinder dry, it can be ignited easily.
We can’t see the fire behind the trees, but we can see the smoke which covers the heavens and is spreading fast. The grass is green, the sun is overshadowed the haze, and the trees are still standing. But for how long? Some will survive. The fire is needed though, because without it there will be no new growth. In our Australian landscape with its eucalypt trees, the fire is needed to burst open the seeds from the trees so that there can be a new, thicker, more lush vegetation.
