Dad's Ramblings -- The Appointed Time

THE APPOINTED TIME
 
Daniel 8:17b, 19
 
"But [Gabriel] said to me, 'Understand, son of man, that the vision refers to the time of the end...' And he said, 'Look, I am making known to you what shall happen in the latter times of indignation; for at the appointed time the end shall be.' "
 
It is not the purpose of Dad's Ramblings to do deep Bible study, so it is for other venues to unwrap the meanings of Daniel's visions. But they will happen at God's "appointed time." God is in control, and the future of the earth is in His hand. God has an appointment calendar. God is not slack concerning His promises, and the day will come when the earth will pass away with a great noise and melt with fervent heat (II Peter 3:9-10, 12). This will not happen until God says, "It is time." Just as Jesus came in the "fulness of time" (Galatians 4:4), so all these things will happen when the time is right. I don't know all about the future, but I know Who controls it.
 
TODAY'S THOUGHT: God has an appointed time for all things.
 
Have a patient and trusting day. Love you.
