Global SITREP D6-21: Defining "The Will of God"


21 January 2021: When the most recent series of SITREPs began we stated that we would see the will of God made manifest. And we have. It is an ongoing process of end time events. Some of the events are spelled out in prophetic Scripture and some are not. 

Some assumed to know the will of God in advance and how it would apply to the United States. They were all incorrect. The rampant disinformation in circulation was, as we've said before, of truly epic proportions. And now introspection is the order of the day. Few are they who paid attention to or outright ignored President Trump when he wrote on the morning of December 20th, "Martial Law = Fake News. Just more knowingly bad reporting." There it is in crystal clear format. The expectation of actions to be taken in preemption was fueled by the righteous indignation of the lies, crimes and evil that accompanied our national election and its aftermath. 

This brings us to looking at the will of God. It is complex, but it is also revealed in Scripture and this has been reinforced by diving into the source of all truth, the word of God.

The first attribute of God's will is that it is sovereign because He is Sovereign. When God declares His will in Scripture He declares what He will do. One example of this is where Paul wrote in Romans 11:26 "all Israel shall be saved." Eschatology Today believes this declaration of the Lord's will is directly related to Ezekiel 39:29. In both of these God has decreed that all Israel will be saved. It is His Sovereign will that it will happen but the specifics of how it will occur are enclosed within His Sovereignty. Put another way, nothing happens if it is not within the Sovereign will of God.

A second, but no less important attribute is the revealed will of God. The revealed will of God is no mystery because it has been openly revealed in Scripture. The best example here would be the Ten Commandments and it is God's will for us to follow them. He wants us to do or not to do specific things, such as unconditional love, repentance and accepting His Son for the forgiving of our sins. The revealed will of God is encapsulated in Psalm 19:7. Humankind ended up in sin because Adam and Eve both failed to abide with the Lord's revealed will Genesis 1, 2 and 3 that they not eat of a certain tree in the Garden of Eden.

And then there is the dispositional will of God. God's dispositional will is described as His attitude toward things which please or displease Him. The attitude of God toward the lost in the world is that they accept Jesus Messiah and be saved. John 3:16 is the path of God's dispositional will and is spelled out in I Timothy 2:4. Unlike the Sovereign will of God, His dispositional will is not absolute as mankind has the free will to chose or reject salvation if Jesus Messiah.

So, what is the Sovereign will of God with respect to the United States of America at the present time? Eschatology Today believes it is a work in progress as it is for many other nations. We believe in his revealed will that the Harpazo will soon take the bride up; that many will be left behind, some to be refined and saved during the Thlipsis and others condemned because they rejected the Truth.

Amen. Marana'tha!
