“It’s not gonna happen.” A frequent declaration in situations that feel final, from those who mean well…But what if the one saying it is God? God IS in control, and there are some things He simply will not let happen.Rest assured, history is not drifting and evil is NOT winning! Open your Bible to Revelation 11 and strengthen your faith in our Savior, who is active, purposeful, sovereign and will not be thwarted.
