None of this matters. I just hope every child of God is prepared for the kingdom and is willing to walk with the king of Kings. That's what matters. I don't understand all of this nonsense because at the end of the day, God doesn't care either. What is highly esteemed of men, is not highly esteemed of God. I just want to make that clear.
What God cares about is his sons and daughters preparing for the kingdom, preparing to become a bride ready for her groom. At the end of the day, if God did care about this stuff, he'll raise up a prophet who will address it, or he'll just use whomever he chooses. The same way God used Obama to open doors in Iraq/Iran, in those middle Islamic countries so his PEOPLE living in those country can profit, benefit, be saved.
Rather we like it or not, it's God plans for his people, and I want to be on Gods plan and what He has, not of my own. We get so tangled up in all these nonsense, that we forget our real objective in life, and that is to fear God, follow him, and fulfill your calling. Lets bear profitable fruit, for that is what God is looking for. Fruit of the holy Spirit that is everlasting.
