The Changing Interaction of God – TS Wright

The Changing Interaction of God

TS Wright

In Malachi 3:6, it is written, “I Am the LORD, I change not…”

But yet, there are instances in the Bible where God did change how He interacts with His people. For example, God in the Old Testament seemed demanding; while Jesus portrayed God as merciful and loving…

That’s just one example…

To discuss this subject in more detail, our good friend Scott Wright is back. Scott has been teaching us about the different ages of the Church and significant things the Bible and history has to say about them. Amen.

So, help me welcome back, Scott Wright! Scott, it’s a blessing to have you back with us today…

Let’s jump right into this – Why does God say “I change not…” but yet it appears He changes how He interacts with His people…

I’m thinking of an instance where God told Jonah to go and preach in Ninevah because He was going to destroy that area in a few days…but then didn’t. That kind of upset Jonah, too, didn’t it?

If God repented of destroying Ninevah, is it possible He will repent about destroying the earth in the End Times, too? We can read all about that in Revelation 21…

But, how do we NOW that He won’t change His mind and keep everything going for another 2000 years?

Are there other instances where God changes how He interacts with His people?

I believe we are wrapping this thing up fairly quickly. In the natural, I’ll just use an example I’m familiar with – flying an airplane.

As a pilot, you’re taught to “stay ahead of the airplane” while you’re flying it. That means monitoring and be aware of your speed, altitude and attitude, especially when you are coming in for a landing or on takeoff.

Most crashes occur due to stalling…and if you are too focused on lining up with the runway or talking on the radio, you may be going to slow and haven’t dropped flaps yet for extra lift… and all of sudden, you flip and go into a spin…

At low altitude – you would not have time to react…and land, but it would not be a landing you could walk away from…

As it relates to the end times and how we wrapping all this up - and that God is going to play it out just as written…we are too far behind the plane to turn around the outcome. This whole thing is about to crash and crash hard…

Your thoughts?

As we get ready to wrap up, I’ll just leave with this thought – again from my flight training time. There was a saying that we were told, “Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing… and any landing where you can use the plane again is an excellent landing.”

I’ll just leave it at that…

How can someone get in touch with you if they have any questions or perhaps would like to do an interview such as this?

I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below…
