God’s Great Promise

Mary

I want you to see all my thoughts. I lay before you all of my understanding and my plans. Let us begin.

From the very beginning, mankind chose the darkness. After welcoming Eve as his partner, Adam joined with her in their sinful choice. Mankind set out on a road that took it farther away from God. The only light was God’s promise of a Woman, who God knew would bring forth His Son.

This has been the story of all of history. Left on his own, mankind walks away from God. When guided by the Woman and enriched by her Son’s Holy Spirit, mankind turns back to God and gains a season of blessings.

At this very moment, to a degree never experienced since Jesus’ victory on the cross, mankind has been led into the greatest darkness. What will the heavenly Father do? He will use the same plan, what He promised at the beginning of history and what He fulfilled in Jesus. He will bring forth the Woman, who will offer her Son to world. Right now, mankind plunges into the darkness and is like Adam and Eve without the help of the Woman. After great powers and forces of sin were released, they feared God’s presence and knew that they were naked. Their relationship became distorted. God’s plan for them was ripped apart.

This is the present road of mankind. Powerful sinful forces have been released and more are waiting in the wings. Go back to the promise. “I will put an enmity between you and the Woman, between your offspring and hers”. (Gen.3:15) The salvation of the human race at this moment of history is contained in that promise.

Comment: Human decisions are affected by two forces, the power of sin and the power of God’s promise. Each person and each nation decides which power they want to follow.
