Where are we in the storyline of history from the vantage point of Jehovah? While we cannot know the timing of things future, Scripture does give us the big picture.
When man sinned in the garden he did not escape what he was put on earth to do. He just has to do it with the burden of the curse on his back. So what are we, Abraham’s seed by faith, here to do? We have to have dominion over the earth, and be fruitful and multiply. Not just anybody is so commanded, but the faithful, from Adam (Gen. 1:28) to Noah (Gen. 9:1) to Abraham (Gen. 17:5) to Jacob:
And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel. 11 And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins; Genesis 35:10
Now is the time of generation for the regenerated. We must be obedient to this mandate. This is why we are here.
And a word for the leaders of Russia, Italy, Japan, and other countries: If your country is under the curse of demographic disaster, repent, be washed by the blood of Christ, and conform your laws to Scripture and encourage godly patriarchy. This will cause health and growth to return to your country.
