Gog and Magog

by atharris, posted in Gog & Magog, Israel, Prophecy

The internet is inundated with articles and videos concerning the coming Gog and Magog war. A major prophetic moment in time when God steps in to defend Israel His people from an onslaught of various people groups. Perhaps this moment will lead directly to the signing of the 7-year covenant with the Anti-Christ. But today, some are calling the current situation between Israel, Hamas, and Hezbollah to be the beginning stages towards this prophetic war. However, we must let the scriptures be the final authority; always. The Word says that Israel will be at rest and dwelling safely. That will not happen until Israel has defeated many of its enemies from other war prophecies that have yet to play out. These other prophecies could happen very quickly or take some time to materialize.

After many days thou (Israel) shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them. 9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee. 10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought: 11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates, Eze. 38:8-11

Who are Gog and Magog? That is the question on everybody’s mind. Starting with Gog, the name itself presents tones of the supernatural. Og king of Bashan, the last of the remnant of the giants after the flood, was a major enemy of Israel and was king of the land that included the location of the infamous ‘Mount Hermon’, the mountain the watchers (fallen angels) of Genesis six descended upon that started the insurrection of hybrid giants before the flood leading up to the “Days of Noah”. Interestingly, ‘Og’ in the Hebrew means “mountain”. Moses defeated Og King of Bashan at Mount Hermon before being prohibited from crossing the Jordan River into the Promised Land. The Canaanites used Mount Hermon as a place of worship for the pagan god Baal, while temple sites have been discovered within its caves. The evil Nimrod had a fortress built on the mountain. At the base of Mount Hermon was the city of Caesarea Philippi and it was here that Peter declared Jesus was the “Christ” in the face of the enemy, indicating this was the portal/gateway or opening to hell.

When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? 14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar–jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Mat. 16:13-18

The bible does not say what happened to the spirits of the giants that were killed after the flood. We do know the giants before the flood were dragged down to the depths of hell by the receding waters of the flood, so the spirits of the giants after the flood would be today’s demons or the disembodied spirits of the giants. Jesus cast out many demons during His ministry. Demons are not to be confused with fallen angels. Could it be that Gog is the reincarnated spirit of Og? Keep this in mind as we will come back to this later. (Revelation GOG and Magog)

There were giantsin the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. Genesis 6:4 

Now let’s turn our attention to the countries mentioned.

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshechand Tubal, and prophesy against him, 3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: 4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: 5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libyawith them; all of them with shield and helmet: 6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmahof the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee. Eze. 38:1-6 
Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee. Eze. 38:9

Persia (Iran), Ethiopia, and Libya are self-explanatory in the countries mentioned here. The word ‘Magog’ means “land of Gog” in the Hebrew. The “land of Magog” are the Caucasian descendants of Japheth, the 3rd son of Noah. After the flood, Noah’s sons dispersed and re-populated the earth. This is the best picture I could find depicting the dispersion after the flood. Magog is not a place, but a people group. The same goes for Gomer, a people group. The phrase “all his bands” is key in the preceding verses. This invasion is an alignment of the Caucasian Japhetic people groups that would include the European nations, including the United States, Britian, Russia, Germany, Spain, France, and of course Turkey.

Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. 2 The sonsof Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. 3 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. 4 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. 5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations. Genesis 10:1-5
This alignment of people groups will be there in the “north parts” doing something before they attack Israel. We are not told why they are there. Perhaps because of the destruction of Damascus (Isaiah 17) which is a stone throw away from Mount Hermon. At some point God will put hooks into the jaws of Gog turning him back to attack Israel.
And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: Eze. 38:4
And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army: Eze. 38:15
Could the “north parts” be the area of ancient Bashan, Mount Hermon from where King Og resided? Mount Hermon today has a Syrian – Lebanese border and the southern slopes of Mount Hermon extend to the Israeli-occupied portion of the Golan Heights.
And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel: Eze 39:2

God will destroy Gog and all his bands.
Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. Eze. 39:4
Remember previously we spoke about Gog possibly being the reincarnated spirit of King Og of Bashan. Well, we just saw that Gog shall fall upon the mountains of Israel. However, we see Gog and Magog rise once again in Revelation 20:7-10 at the end of the 1,000-year Millennial reign.

And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, 8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in thefour quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. 9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. 10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. Rev. 20:7-10

In this passage we see that Gog is perhaps re-incarnated again to lead the people groups of Magog to battle once more from the four quarters of the earth, not a particular country. To clarify, perhaps Gog is of a supernatural origin such as a specific demon (King Og or other) that possesses a human for each of the battles or it could even be a fallen angel. In this final battle, the devil and Gog, whatever he may be, will be annihilated never to return again. It is hard to see anyone currently in the news today such as Putin, Erdogan, etc. having the capabilities to lead such a large invading force against Israel. An invasion where God Himself must intervene to save them. For the invasion is so great they will burn the weapons of this enemy for seven years and the dead will be so great that Israel will take seven months and longer to bury the dead to cleanse the land. Perhaps not all enemies are of human origin. Make no mistake, the demons and fallen angels will play a tremendous role in the Tribulation and perhaps in the months leading up to it.

Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken. 9 And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years: 10 So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD. Eze. 39:8-10
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamon–gog. 12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land. 13 Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD. 14 And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search. 15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamon–gog. 16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land. Eze. 39:11-16

Swords of Iron – Gaza Update

by atharris, posted in Israel, Jerusalem Watch, Prophecy

Warmapper.org does a tremendous job of creating maps for a given conflict. Below is the current situation in Gaza. You can see the IDF has split Gaza in half and is about to take the Shifa Hospital were Hamas (ISIS) currently has one of their HQ’s. Eventually, the IDF will control all of Gaza, permanently.

God made a covenant with Abrahm: “In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:” Genesis 15:18. The borders are more detailed in chapter 34 of Numbers (Num 34:1) and updated in Ezekiel 47 starting in verse 13 (Eze 47:13). One day they will draw the borders of Israel to look something like the below. Make no mistake, what God has promised no man or fallen rulers of darkness can take away.

The Final Blood Moons

by atharris, posted in Israel, Jerusalem Watch, Prophecy

First things first. This is a longer post than usual. I am not setting any date in stone for anything, but simply establishing a timeline. There is a fascinating prophecy in the book of Hosea that gives us the expected timeline for the literal return of Jesus to the Earth. 

Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. After two days will he revive us:  in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth. Hosea 6:1-3

Basically, the prophecy is saying that Israel will return to the Lord after a 2-thousand-year hiatus from the time Jesus died on the cross for all mankind. Then the third day or the millennial reign of 1-thousand years, Israel will once again live with the presence of Christ and God will fulfill all of the unfulfilled promises of the Old Testament upon the nation. There will be blessings upon Israel again in the latter rain just as there was in the former before they rejected Christ. It is interesting to note that “latter rain” in the Hebrew text always refers to the spring rains of March and April. We know each day is equal to 1-thousand years because Peter stated, “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” 2Pe 3:8. 

The consensus is that Jesus died during Passover week in 32 A.D. Six days prior to Passover (Jhn 12:1), Jesus rode on a donkey into Jerusalem to present Himself as a king on Palm Sunday of April 6, 32 A.D. fulfilling a prophecy from Zechariah 9:9. “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass”. John 12:12-15 says “On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord. And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written, Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt. For more information on how this date was derived, click here: The Unexpected King. 

Joel 2:30-31 says “And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. 31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come“. The “Day of the Lord” is usually referred to as the 7-year Tribulation period, but in this instance, it is referring to the great and terrible day, the final battle at Armageddon. The moon will turn to blood “before” this battle. “That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? They shall be brought forth to the day of wrath”. Job 21:20. “But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap.” Mal. 3:2. 

Perhaps it will make more sense here:  “Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: Matthew 24:29. Here we see at the last day of the 2nd half of the Tribulation (1260 day period), the moon will turn to blood. This also happens after the 6th seal of Revelation is opened. “And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;” Rev. 6:12. Then there will be a 30-day commencement period as the armies of the antichrist gather to fight against our Lord. “And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” Mat. 29:30. We know there is another 30 days from Daniel 12:11 “And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days”. 

Back to the prophecy in Hosea. If Jesus died in 32 A.D, there should be a blood moon two thousand years later in 2032, right? Well, there just so happens to be another tetrad of blood moons coming up for the years 2032 – 2033! Don’t get caught up in the Tetrad or set of 4 as they have happened quite regularly since the time of Christ death. The key to understanding the blood moons is Jerusalem. Can the city of Jerusalem see the blood moon at the time of occurrence for it to be relevant to the nation of Israel. Of the four blood moons for this time period, two of them are clearly seen by the city of Jerusalem.

Oct 18th 2032

April 14th 2033

In my mind, these are the final blood moons just before our King sets down on the Mount of Olives. But wait, there is more. For many years, many people have pointed out that the Psalms are an ongoing narrative of Israel’s history and future. If that is the case, then Psalms 132 and 133 should reference the end. Let’s take a look. 

Assuming 2032 is the end of the Tribulation; Psalm 132 starting in verse 7:
We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool. 8 Arise, O Lord, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength. 9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy. 10 For thy servant David’s sake turn not away the face of thine anointed. 11 The Lord hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. 12 If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore. 13 For the Lord hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation. 14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it. 15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy. 17 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed. 18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
Assuming 2033 is beginning of Millennial reign; Psalm 133:
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; 3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

So, if this is the case, then 7 years back from the end at 2032 is the beginning in 2025……

You may not agree with this post, but again I am not setting anything in stone. The whole purpose of this blog – “looking for”.

Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Titus 2:13

 

 

  

 

 

The Land of Milk and Honey

by atharris, posted in Israel, Jerusalem Watch, Middle East, Ministry

Dr. Emir Caner was a guest speaker recently at First Baptist Atlanta. If you want to really know why the continued chaos in Israel, specifically for Jerusalem and including some very revealing insight into the religion of Islam, I highly recommend watching the sermon below. Emir was a former Muslim that accepted the call into the saving blood of Jesus. This is part one of a two-part series. Listen carefully when he mentions Damascus and if you are a student of bible prophecy, “The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.”, Isaiah 17 will suddenly make more sense. As I had mentioned in a recent post, we are witnessing the beginning stages of the fall of Islam.

 

The Land of Milk and Honey: Israel, Islam, and The Promises of God

Obadiah and Israel’s Expanded Borders!

by atharris, posted in Israel, Jerusalem Watch, Prophecy

I believe we are watching the beginning of the downfall of Islam. Through the various yet prophetic wars, culminating with the Gog and Magog war, Islam will cease to exist as they will not succeed in any of them. Obviously, this will not happen overnight, but I do not think this will drag out for years to come like in years past in my humble opinion. Obadiah chapter 1 is full of prophecy concerning Israel and the non-Jewish people now living in the area. I have made comments by each verse in parenthesis and blue letters. We are extremely close to fulfilling much of Obadiah 1. Verses 1 to 14 have already been fulfilled as it talks about the destruction of Edom; the Edomites or descendants of Esau, the brother of Jacob. Beginning in verse 15 we see the future re-claiming of land by Israel. 

Locator-map-GileadLocator-map-Edom1_kings_zarephath_mount_carrmel

15 For the day of the LORD (Tribulation period) is near (Days we live in) upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head. (If you attack Israel, you will be attacked either by Israel or God’s revenge).

 

16 For as ye have drunk (rituals) upon my holy mountain (Jerusalem, Temple Mount), so shall all the heathen (non-Christian, non-Jewish) drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been. (Fall of Islam)

 

17 But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob (Israel) shall possess their (heathen) possessions. (Israel re-gains more of their God given land)

 

18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire (IDF), and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble (Edomites came up from Edom and populated the area in Israel/Palestine after the Jews were dispersed by Rome in 70AD), and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it.

 

19 And they of the south (Negev Desert) shall possess the mount of Esau (Past event, Mount Seir in Jordan); and they of the plain, (Gaza Strip) the Philistines: and they shall possess the fields of Ephraim, and the fields of Samaria: (Past event, West Bank) and Benjamin shall possess Gilead (Northern Jordan. Future, possibly very soon) (From 1948 to 1967, the populace came to settle in the Gaza strip, West Bank, and Jordan along with the Edomites that had previously settled in 70AD).

 

20 And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel (The Jews that returned in 1948) shall possess that of the Canaanites (Future event, the entire coastal area from Egypt to Zarephath in Southern Lebanon), even unto Zarephath (Future event, Southern Lebanon, Phoenician city situated between Tyre and Sidon); and the captivity of Jerusalem (Jews expelled in 70AD that went to Spain), which is in Sepharad (Sephardic Jews of Spain), shall possess the cities of the south (Negev Desert, yet future event).

 

21 And saviours (IDF Generals) shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD’S.

Isaiah 17 Threatened!

by atharris, posted in Deception, Israel, Israel/Hamas conflict, Middle East

PM Netanyahu in speech to the nation: “The enemy wanted war, and it shall receive war. Israel’s actions will resonate for generations to come“. In an Israeli warning to Hezbollah it was stated: IDF will destroy Damascus, target Syrian President Assad if Hezbollah joins war. Over 75% of Israelis living in Lebanon border areas have left their homes ahead of a potential military clash vs. Hezbollah; large deployment of IDF forces in border communities. Netanyahu, the longest serving PM of Israel is not to be challenged. 

The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. Is. 17:1

How long before we see some spillover here in the states? Iraqi Forces Issue Stark Warning: U.S. Will Become a Legitimate Target if It Intervenes in Palestine.

The United States is reportedly not yet considering an Emergency Evacuation of American Citizens in Israel despite other Countries such as Poland and Mexico already beginning to Evacuate their Citizens. So far, 11 Americans have been killed in the Hamas attacks. Why did the White House shut down at noon today of all days? 

Perhaps you may remember back in May of this year that 30 tons of explosive chemical disappeared from train after departing Cheyenne.

Officials are early in their investigation but the leading theory is the disappearance resulted from a leak, and there is no indication the material was stolen.

A leak? You may also remember that this same type of chemical, ammonium nitrate fertilizer, is what blew up the Port in Beirut, Lebanon back in August of 2020. The blast was one of the largest non-nuclear explosions ever recorded, killing more than 200 people, wounding thousands, and devastating swathes of Beirut. So what ever happened to the 30 tons “lost” in Cheyenne, Wyoming? The latest report suggest essentially the same: “As we have previously indicated, all the available evidence suggests this was a leak that occurred over the course of transportation from origin to destination.”

Maybe that is true, but in this age of deception, we will probably never know. Finally, I will let President Trump speak to what has been on my mind for some time.

No Turning Back

by atharris, posted in Israel, Israel/Hamas conflict, Middle East, Prophecy

As rockets and terrorist from Gaza continue to enter into Israel, over 300,000 Israelis reservist have been activated to move against Hamas and any other enemy of Israel.  The Gaza strip is turning to ruins as the Israeli Air Force has bombed a total of 1,200 targets so far and turned off their water and electricity source. The IDF has announced that combat helicopters are currently striking targets in Lebanon moving the war further out.

Hamas’s attacks on Israel were planned weeks in advance with 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗜𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀, according to a report in WSJ. Israel is preparing for the possible outbreak of full-scale regional war. We know Iran has been behind most of the aggression towards Israel for some time now. 

PM Netanyahu has stated “We are already in the campaign, and we are just getting started. Your leadership has been very strong in these difficult days. The state will leave no stone unturned to help all of you. I ask that you stand steadfast because we are going to change the Middle East. I embrace you and the residents. We are all with you and we will defeat them forcefully“. Jerusalem will become “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.” Zech. 12:2

So here we are folks, the beginning of the end I believe. There is much prophetic war prophecy to be fulfilled. It will certainly take time for this to play out, but the recent actions in the middle east have crossed a line. Meanwhile, back in the U.S., Pro-Hamas supporters have been rallying around the nation including in front of the White House. One rally in New York has called for Jihad. Will this escalation spill over into the U.S.? Could this be the dark days I warned about here: Watchman’s Warning

Be alert, stay watchful, and stay out of the big cities if at all possible. The current administration is not your friend and the more the Middle East spirals out of control, the chances of danger here will also increase. I am not a fear monger or sensationalist, but reality is here. Perhaps I am also to much of an optimist, for I am still hopeful for a blessing to come out of this, even if just for a short while. For Hope is all we have. 

For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. Romans 8:24-25
