Sovereign

As I mentioned before, I am currently reading through 1 and 2 Kings.
One thing that really stands out in the two books is God’s sovereignty. It’s amazing how God used the Godless Assyrian, Egyptian, and Babylonian Empires to enact righteous judgement on Israel and Judah. It’s amazing how God’s perfect will us brought about through the lives and exploits of apostate kings. It’s amazing how God spin these events into existance yet human decision making and responsibillity still play into the predetermined game.
It makes me wonder…how will the global events and rulers of today be used to accomplish God’s plans for his creation. How will evil dictators, selfish oppressors, brilliant billionaires, and global disasters further God’s plan and further men coming to salvation through Christ.
And one thing I wonder about, just as much; Where are the prophets? Are there any? What self-proclaimed prophets can we trust.
The prophets of old were usually seen as crazy outcasts of society- not fitting in with any social class.
While looking at these prophets of the Old Testament, and the New, I don’t see any of them fitting in with today’s Evangelical, Catholic, or Mainline Churches. But there has to be some, right?
If so, where are they? And if they’re out there, have we already rejected their message. And what message are they giving us anyways?
