Was reading Revelation 13, Beast conquers the world, another beast forces blasphemous worship, that show how following Jesus looks completely opposite of following the beast. Rev 13:10 is linked to Jer 15:2, so reading Jeremiah 15 in the message version I saw this interesting conversation with Jeremiah and God
...But why, why this chronic pain,
this ever-worsening wound and no healing in sight?
You’re nothing, God, but a mirage,
a lovely oasis in the distance—and then nothing!
19-21 This is how God answered me:
“Take back those words, and I’ll take you back.
Then you’ll stand tall before me.
Use words truly and well. Don’t stoop to cheap whining.
Then, but only then, you’ll speak for me.
Let your words change them.
Don’t change your words to suit them.
Cool how God can handle our hurts and grief, but doesn't leave it at that. Praise God for a good word to help us through the tough times.
