My Journey: Hmmm... It's like the Bible predicted what's happening now...

Do you know what the Bible says about current events? Here is a chart with a few of those things.

BIBLE SAYS	WHAT’S HAPPENING TODAY
They shall not drink strong wine with a song	Bars closed
Harps ceaseth	No concert venues open
Cities confused,	Same
Every house shut up so that no man may come in	People quarantined not allowing visitors
Crying for wine	Liquor stores have been closed in many states
City streets empty	NYC is a good example
Joy is gone	Many are scared and/or depressed

Read Isaiah 24:8-11

Hmmm... Do you see how fitting that is with what we are living through today?

If you keep reading in verse 13 the Bible says, "...there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done."

The olive tree in this instance is symbolic of the anointing (which is the Holy Spirit) that God's people have.

In Bible gleaning is when you would "shake out" everything that was left at harvest so that nothing was wasted. (The book of Ruth provides a beautiful illustration of this. In the book of Ruth Boaz left plenty for Ruth to pick up easily)

If you are a Christian God is telling you to "shake" or let your anointing flow in a way that makes it easy for others to pick up. That might mean sharing your faith on social media, supporting your church in whatever they are doing to offer services, or it might mean showing the love of Christ to all those you meet.

If you are curious about Jesus or the Christian faith, God is leaving plenty for you to pick up. The fruit of the spirit will be around you in heaping piles and all you have to do is pick it up.

Verse 14, I especially love. As you may have heard, it was suggested that churches not sing. Isaiah 24:14 says, "They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the Lord..."

There is so much more in this! There is so much more in the Bible!!! I'll stop for today and get to work.

Think about this... The Bible is more than a book. The more you read it, the more you will be uplifted and find hope.
