The Revelation of Jesus with Rick Sterling!

Peace in the time of Turmoil ~

Turmoil and rage are not unique to our time. These two 'imposters' have reared their ugly heads from time to time throughout the history of the human race, from Cani and Abel to Covid-19 and the current rioting of Antifa and BLM. There is an underlaying identity that causes people to lash out in reacton to events outside of their control (seemingly), and that is implacable frustration. When people as individuals or in groups feel that their voices are not being heard there is at times a premature reaction whereby they decide to vent their frustrations by physical means, not caring whether that venting hurts the innocent as well as the guilt. Cain murdered Abel because he felt that God unfairly rejected him, and chose Abel over him. It turns out that this killing was unjustified simply because Cain's sacrifice had nothing to do with being a Lamb over produce; it was that Cain's sacrifice was of inedible and second rate produce, while Abel's sacrifice was a perfect Lamb. Had Cain's given the 'firstfruits' of his produce his sacrifice would certainly have been accepted by God. He became frustrated over this, and killed his brother as a reaction.

The peacful protestors have their frustrations under control, but the rioters don't, and are willing to harm others to 'get their way'. This is the difference between adults and children - adults can handle frustration, children can't.

When we are given access to truth, reject it out of hand, and react with frustration to the person bringing it to us by lashing out at them, we are behaving as spoiled children that do not get their way.  But if we become 'as a child' that is hungry for learning of truth, humble ourselves and learn, God will give to us the understanding of His words through the Holy Spirit, and we will have peace.
