The Sovereign Prerogatives of God. Part [8] 12/25/2024 (Morning thought)

2nd Kings 6:11 Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will you not shew me which of us is for the king of Israel? 12 And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that thou speak in thy bedchamber.

Before one can be trusted with handling very sensitive information, that person has to pass several security screening tests initially, and then he or she will be granted one of five levels of security clearances, as those in authority may see fit. Tiers one, and two apply to low risk, non-sensitive positions. Persons applying for a position of public trust are required to have a background check, and criminal records examined. Together with finger- printing, credit checks etc, they are to be duly scrutinized.

That is under normal circumstances. But we are no longer living under normal circumstances, if you can understand dark sentences. The days of normal are now relics of the past, and the Remnant people of God who know what’s coming must be prepared for the new abnormal. Tiers three and four pertain to the Secret Security Clearances, and High-Risk Public Trusts which means that persons who will be granted these clearances would have access to sensitive information that can cause grave danger and harm to the United States.

In recent memory there have been a few individuals who have violated public trust, for they were found sharing America’s sensitive information with foreign adversaries, online and in person. So yes, tiers three and four can be pretty serious as far as our national security goes. Then you have the highest security clearance which is tier five also designated as the Top-Secret Security clearance, in which the relevant authorities will do a deep dive into every aspect of your life, including interviews with your friends and neighbors and your co-workers, together with polygraph tests etc.

2nd Kings 6:13 And he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan. 14 Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about.

The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

The Sovereign Prerogatives of God. Part [7] 12/25/2024 (Evening thought)

Deuteronomy 29:29 The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.

Last but not least, and so critically important for the here and now, and also for eternity, is the following sovereign prerogative of God, which so many folks have difficulty grappling with. [4] It is God’s prerogative to keep certain secrets private, and to withhold specific types of sensitive information from us as mortals. In every government on earth, and especially in the U.S. you have what is called classified information.

It comes in varying degrees, from information that will not cause any serious harm to those highly classified secrets, which only the chosen, trusted few will ever have access to. These highly classified secrets, if exposed to wrong people, can jeopardize national security, and could seriously compromise the nation’s ability to protect its citizens, and could put several people at risk of harm, and even death.

This is what Edward Snowden did when he decided to release a treasure trove of sensitive, classified information which greatly compromised America’s intelligence, and sources. This is what also took place when Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange released online, very sensitive, top- secret information, which, according to government officials, jeopardized the U.S military operations and planning on many levels.

Psalms 25:14 The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
