Hidden Treasure – A Deeper Understanding

For the Lord shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act. Isaiah 28:21 KJV

Look among the nations, and see; wonder and be astounded. For I am doing a work in your days that you would not believe if told. Habakkuk 1:5 ESV

If God is going to do a new or “strange” work at the end of time, we can be assured that He will support and sustain His people. God has been waiting since time immemorial for his people to enter his true rest. (Heb.4:11)

If any reader is going through particularly harrowing experiences they ought not to be surprised. Because of the times in which we live this is to be expected. God is testing his people. “He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver…..” Malachi 3:3 ESV Anyone who thinks they can be in control and fully comprehend this time is mistaken. It is a hard time. When all we can see is depression and darkness then we are to look up.  “Count it all joy”, said James, “when you fall into different temptations.” (James 1:2) Paul said, For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake… Philippians 1:29 ESV Peter said we are to follow “in his steps”. (1 Pet.2:21)
