Why? I know that you know "Why" all these things have happened in the past and in the future, if not corrected. Deuteronomy 31:17 is one book that explains "why", especially at the last sentence:...'Is it not because our God is not in our midst that these calamities have come upon us?" Is it not Apostasy? I am not being divisive only praying for the complete restoration of the Kingdom of David in Jerusalem, not a Democracy but a Theocracy. Reply
