The full number of nations must enter into the blessing before God turns to Israel (Romans 11). An invisible countdown is running. It does not measure time; it shows how many believers still need to be gathered before the rapture. The number could be 100, 10, or 1000. The Lord knows. But one day it will be time.

We are wise when we not only give thanks for God’s help in trials, but also allow ourselves to be encouraged by it for future challenges.

As for the three hours on the cross during which Christ bore our sins, this is something that humans cannot comprehend. Accordingly, it was dark during those three hours. We cannot see anything, so to speak. It was silent. We cannot hear anything (at the end of the three hours, we hear Christ cry out, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”). What happened there is unfathomable!
