The bitter truth is , he who lived by the sword will die by it

The bitter truth is , he who lived by the sword will die by it . Just as Peter died by what he lived by it . Do not be alarmed God cannot do otherwise . He cannot fight his words, he can only defend his words . That is why God's weakness is man's source of power . Did you thought that Pharaoh does not has human heart ? When God has putting it into their hearts to fullfil his words by agreeing to give them their hardness of hearts to resist human feelings . They has been possessed by the spirit of death and Hades sent by God over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague . Let the wise reason about these matters why the Israelites of old was fighters in the hand of Almighty God . Apart from the prophecies about the present time, remember that God's own chosen ones were warriors. They fought before they occupied their promise Land. I must tell you this , God is after his own people, not tribes or the color of skins . In the passed : the Israelites were always been defeated by their enemies anytime the sinned against God. 

I must speak the mindset of God  ; if only those who called upon my name faithfully are many, I could have grant them freedom .  But they are bunch of betrayers . 

Jesus said something very important,,, 

• St. Luke 13:2 Jesus answered, "Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way? 3 I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish  4 Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them —do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem? 5 I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish."

This is what I understood about this present time; all these happening now is a voice of repentance calling upon astrayed chosen ones .

Do not be frightened and yet hardened your heart , for it is the beginning of birth pains .  Only those who stand firmed till end will be saved . No one can escape his destiny. 

• Isaiah 65:11 "But as for you who forsake the LORD and forget my holy mountain, who spread a table for Fortune and fill bowls of mixed wine for Destiny, 12 I will destine you for the sword, and all of you will fall in the slaughter; for I called but you did not answer, I spoke but you did not listen. You did evil in my sight and chose what displeases me."

Are you following ? By now you must have understood the journey. 

• John 16:1 "All this I have told you so that you will not fall away. 2 They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God. 20 Very truly I tell you, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy. 21 A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world. 22 So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.

That time has came,  the fulfilment of God's words. Observe, watch and pray , so that you will not fall into temptation in Jesus Christ Name.
