Intercede or Die

It turns out "To Be Chosen" was part 1, "Wilderness" was part 2 and this is part 3.  We looked at Joel 2:12-17 and we saw that God is calling His people to intercede.  All of his people are to gather, to fast, to realize the sober seriousness of the times and cry out for mercy.  We looked at Amos 7:1-6 and we saw Amos being given a vision of the wrath of God being poured out and crying out to God for mercy.  We read in Romans that only a remnant will be saved among the sons of Israel.  Ezekiel 5:2 and 5:12 seem to indicate 1/3 of the people, so we lined up 6 people and saw that this would mean 4 of those 6 would die in the tribulation the great one.  Amos 5:3 and Ezekiel 20:37 combined with Leviticus 27:32 seem to indicate that those in the direct line of fire from the anti-christ, those not hidden or helped would see 9 out of 10 die. 
So the call is to intercede, the call is to prepare to love and preserve life, the call is to wake up and stop thinking the gospel is just about us, a friend recently said, it is never about us, and by that I think he meant, when we are born again and become a child of the most high King, all that is "us" is taken care of, then we, as recipients of so great a love, give it away, give it away now!
