I think these warnings and threats are probably real, and intended to be taken seriously. However, I also fully believe that everything that happens is under the control of the Almighty God of the universe. The intents and plans of man are under the authority of God's plans. While evil and terror are relished by evil and terrible people, they can only carry out their threats if given permission by our Heavenly Father, according to His infinite foreknowledge and ultimate good for His own people--those who are called according to His purposes.
Therefore, I do not fear whatever may come. I simply trust in His sovereignty and watchcare over me. During the last couple of weeks or so, I have been reading the book of Ezekiel in the New Living Translation. Before that I read the books of Daniel, Jeremiah, and Lamentations. It has been absolutely amazing to me to see the simlarities and significance for the time period that we are living in currently! This morning I read chapters 31-35, where it talks about the "valley of dry bones" and the events of Gog and Magog.
Instead of fearing what might happen on October 12 (this week), I felt incredibly excited about what might happen in God's plan as a result of whatever evil men are planning for that day.
My heart joyfully and eagerly responds:
"Even so, come Lord Jesus!"
