I guess it all boils down to one of two things. Either we live in FEAR or ......or......who ever or what ever is watching, is not big, not our Brother and is blind....actually...The only big Brother I know is Jesus.
Right on Arc and thank God we do not have to live in fear of the future. However our mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, children and grandchildren might have to live in fear as the world spins out of control
if we are living in the end times when “.......there will be great tribulation, such as not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever shall.” “And unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days shall be cut short.” (Matt. 24: 21, 22).
The “smart meters”
could be
one sign of the times where those in power believe that only government can solve all the problems of the world. John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton, a historian and moralist stated “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” he also said "Unlimited power is apt to corrupt the minds of those who possess it." I for one do not know if we are living in the last generation that will experience the “great tribulation” but there are disturbing events that are coming to fruition that makes one take pause. “Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming.” (Matt. 24:42).
Jesus is our big brother and I along with many on this forum do not live in fear because Jesus is our Brother, Savior and Mediator. We understand that God is in control and ALL is out of God. If God can be for us, who could be against us?
