Great short teaching on the power of the tongue and how vital it is that we learn to bridle it and the effects it has on our spiritual walk! #daughtersofyah
Egypt learned about God from the plagues.
Israel learned about God from the plagues, the wilderness, manna, rock, quail, and brass serpent.
Don't be too worried when the universe seems to be against you. Troubles are often a sign that God loves you and wants you to learn something important.
When we look at the prophets of old, their ominous messages were almost always coupled with "repent" as a mechanism for people to be saved. The Gospels amplified this theme immensely. Yeshua warned of an impending doom while giving people the information necessary to obtain salvation, both physical (leave Jerusalem when it is surrounded) and eternal (Yeshua is the bread of life). False prophets say "it's over" with vague references to a people being in Yahweh's graces. That's the recipe for cult behavior as it gives the false prophet the power of defining who's saved and who isn't to those who believe him.
