This morning in prayer I was thinking about Joseph. I have been reading lately of Joseph’s story. So, I thought that my thinking about him was do to that. Well God had other plans. As I was in thought the Holy Spirit putting some additional information together for me to think about. It goes something like this.
The Lord planned ahead of time and placed Joseph in Egypt. This is what is told to us in the book of Genesis. The Israelites were there for 400 years until the time of Moses. His place was to lead the people out of Egypt into the promised land. Presenting them with a covenant with God that God wanted the people to follow.
Next we have the prophet Malachi. He is the last prophet of the old testament. Part of his book talks of the coming of Jesus and the one who was to prepare the way for Jesus. this was John the Baptist. The time between the two (Malachi and John the Baptist) was 400 years. Then Jesus came and brought the new covenant. A covenant of grace.
You may be seeing a pattern here. One of 400 years. So in that vain lets look at this. In 1620 a group of people fleeing religious persecution landed at Plymouth Rock. We are now 400 years later. With the established pattern there should be someone or group put in place to bring the people back to the Lord. Our Lord coming to take His Bride home. To an everlasting covenant.
I say this to bring some thought to today and why things are happening as they are. You may be thinking that I am not “the one” to come and make a difference. Well then think about this. Do you suppose that there were not any of God’s people praying for those things to happen. I think there was always a group of devout followers praying in all those times. We may not be “the one” who does these things. There may not be any one person other than our Lord’s return. But there is still praying that needs to be done. In order for His return to be fulfilled. Many of us believe that we are in the end times. This doesn’t mean that we stop praying and doing. Lets band together as one body and do our part to help this along to being fulfilled.
Be blessed, Ken
