Storm Warning

This year promises to be the most challenging opportunity of our lifetimes. Non-linearities are compounding on our personal and national horizons that will test our preparations and our commitment to our callings…
Dr. Chuck Missler and Dr. Gordon McDonald discuss the lessons learned from Y2K and how they relate to providing a “Storm Warning” for 2011 and beyond. How bad is our government debt? Can we truly grasp the value of a trillion? Has God abandoned the United States? Find out in this briefing.

Storm Warning
Session 1: Lessons from Y2K
Session One of Storm Warning is a conversation on what we learned from Y2K with Dr. Chuck Missler and Dr. Gordon McDonald, Executive Director of Research and Analysis. Gordon’s doctoral dissertation was on this very subject, titled Y2K and the Church: Action and Reaction.

Session 2: The Coming Storm
A Lesson in Quantities
• How much is a million seconds? 12 days
• How much is a billion seconds? 32 years!
• How much is a trillion seconds? 32,000 years!
How Much is “a Trillion”?
If you had gone into business on the day Jesus was born, and your business lost a million dollars each day,
365 days a year, it would take you until October 2737 to lose $1 trillion.
The Most Significant Day
This year promises to be the most challenging opportunity of our lifetimes. Non-linearities are compounding on our personal and national horizons that will test our preparations and our commitment to our callings…
The prevailing “Normalcy Bias”—the conviction that “it can’t happen here…”—results in the fact that most Americans are oblivious to a forthcoming day which may be the most significant day of 2011…

The Wraths of God

Habakkuk Chapter 2

1] I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved

This is not necessarily a literal tower, but an attitude of mind. Prophets are often compared to watchmen (Isa 21:8, 11; Jer 6:17; Ezek 3:17; 33:2,3).
Key Components
1) Determination: He didn’t say, maybe next week; when it’s convenient; when I can find time (Jer 29:13).
2) Isolation: Away from all distractions: radio, TV, phone. We often can’t hear the voice of God because so many other voices are constantly ringing in our ears...a quiet time, a quiet place, a quiet heart.
3) Expectation: “I will see what the Lord will say to me” not “might,” “hope,” “wish,” but will...There are many ways to please God, but none apart from faith (Heb 11:6).
2] And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
Habakkuk, you’re ready to do business; take a memo...i.e. as a messenger of the “vision” (cf. Zech 2:4,5). Are you really serious about Him? Do you seek the Lord with pencil and paper in hand? Does an executive secretary ever enter her boss’s office without a steno pad in her hand?
3] For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
Be patient. Don’t panic. God has set a bound to all which displeases Him.
4] Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
Two groups: 1) Those whose soul is lifted up; 2) The just who life by faith. Whose soul is not upright? The Babylonian’s. Pride leads to death because it will not receive by faith the grace of God. Look at their leader, Nebuchanezzar (Dan 4; Prov 16:18).
