ISAIAH 53:2 For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground
Israel at the time of Jesus coming, was in spiritual famine and living under the oppressive occupation of the Romans. In man’s wisdom and human reasoning this was the worst time for Jesus to come. In God's way of seeing things, this was the best time. It is in time's like these where God's grace, His love and glory shines the brightest and these are the times when Jesus does his best work & makes the impossible possible
Clarification from Pastor Art: In this message, I 'm suggesting according to scripture that God isn't the author of the chaos and confusion that Jesus preached about in Matthew 24:4-14, which He described as "the signs of the coming of the end" which we as believers are now experiencing and will experience more of before The End.
However, I am not suggesting that God is not going to pour out His wrath against all ungodliness in the end.
