Judgment or sign: what is Hashem telling us?
In the face of the current events that are linked with Islamic terror, many minds are very much confused about what is actually going on. Very few people are actually conscious that the increase in wickedness, the rise in high immorality and the pride of many nations arrogantly coming against the God of Israel and rejecting Him completely provoked Hashem's wrath. All nations have been powerfully warned and are now being judged.Innocent or guilty, justice and judgment
A lot of ( guilty and innocent) blood has been spilled already.
You noticed that I used the words "guilty" and "innocent" to describe the victims of terrorism. I don't pretend to know exactly in detail who might have been guilty or innocent: this is not the point of my article. What I want to show my readers is some particular events (in France) that clearly show Hashem sent His punishment from Heaven while some others are a clear sign that He wants a sincere Teshuva ( repentance) from people.
"A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is His delight." Proverbs 11.1
"And He will judge between the nations and render decisions for many people."
Job 11:20
"But the eyes of the wicked will fail and there will be no escape for them."
Charlie Hedbo and Bataclan: three days of darkness and people choosing the devil
The assassinations of the Charlie Hedbo crew in January 2015 is Hashem's direct response to the advocacy of blasphemy ( do not be fooled, Charlie Hedbo wasn't only about drawing carricatures of the prophet of Islam, they also mocked Jews and Catholics in a very lewd way. Moreover, their motto was " blasphemy is our duty."
These people were very far from being "innocents", even if some other people like members of the French police or customers of Hyper Cacher were innocents that died in the lot.
The Bataclan shootings, for instance, that followed in November 2015 happened to a crowd that gathered to listen to the Eagles of Death Metal, a Satanic group. These people were chanting that they wanted to kiss the devil on the tongue.
Hashem judged something that deeply displeased Him on this tragic evening where Stade de France was targeted as well.
Bastille Day shooting in Nice: a strong call to repentance
The recent Bastille Day drama in Nice is heartbreaking: many children also lost their lives. The people who died just wanted to watch the fireworks on a national holiday. It costs them their lives. We could raise our hands and eyes towards the sky and ask Hashem: "why?"
The first verses of Luke, Chapter 13, do contain elements of response to our why's:
"There were some present at that very time who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And He answered them: "Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than the other Galileans, because they suffered in this way? No, I tell you: but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them: do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem? No, I tell you: but unless you repent, you will all likewise PERISH."
There are clear signs also of our Lord's Second Coming. Let us bring Him a sincere Teshuva before He returns.
If you haven't accepted Yeshua as your Lord and Savior, it is not too late to repent of your sins and be saved.
May He bless you who are reading this article right now.

The Father loves us, therefore He must judge. He is good because He is God. And since He is good, he must judge and deal with the evil. Judgment & Mercy can be seen on the Cross.

Isabelle, I understand what it is that God wants from us since Yeshua outlined it very clearly for us...repent for the Kingdom is at hand. So much evil and disgusting events are everywhere in the entire world today that I'm always in awe that Father doesn't simply blow the Earth apart! He loves us way too much to do that however...if only humans took time to realize that we are all tiny pieces of Him.
