LIKE FISHES TAKEN IN A CRUEL NET - The Lying Mouth Series 007

Ecclesiastes 9:12, KJV

"For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them."

I started exposing you to another element of surprise which the Lord will use to trouble the conspirators and such that may gather together to pluck down His will. 

This verse will help us further the explanation on the manifestation of that technique. Obviously, it's the element of surprise. The military or forces have mastered it. That's the same technique the Chaldeans unleashed when stealing Job's camels. 

Job 1:17, KJV

"While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee."

Note, "...and fell upon the camels..." It means to suddenly come upon. They used the element of surprise to destabilize those camel shepherds and their watchers. The essence is to create a shaking or a type of instability or terror. When we talk of terrorism or terrorists, we mean those whose coming brings fear. They appear and take their target by surprise, striking fear. 

God can confound the wisdom of the wise in this same manner. The usage of net in that verse we're considering today immediately points to an instrument of containment that is in God's arsenal for use. There's nobody who's beyond the mastery and administration of God. God can contain anyone. 

What is man, let alone fishes? That place says, "for man also doesn't know his time just like fishes caught in an evil net or birds caught in a snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time when it falls suddenly upon them."

Note the expression, "...when it falls suddenly upon them..."

Does that verse pass the message of suddenness and unexpectedness to you? A fish that is caught in a net by a fisherman or a bird that's snared by a trap had no plan or strategy against being caught or collected out of its natural habitat. However, it happened all the same. The most unfortunate part is that it was not anticipated or seen to be coming lest a remedy be put in place. That's why it falls upon him suddenly. 

That's the strategy the Lord also will use against your conspirators. Ahithophel never saw it coming. He never believed his counsel could be rejected. He wouldn't have believed any prophet if he had prophesied the same to him. However, his counsel was cornered, hurt and brutalized on the head. It was so brutalized and rather made ineffective that it couldn't detonate or perform its bidding.

Look at me, what they have cooked and made ready, expecting to detonate on you shall be halted. God shall corner them like a fish caught in an evil net. They'll be terrorized to see their plans scattered. They'll have no space to maneuver or any iota of room for escape. I'm seeing a net being lowered down like a crane. It's getting ready to pick your ever unrepentant conspirators off their natural habitat and table. They'll be scooped into God's hands and their invincibility will once and for all be shattered. 

PRAYER: The God of sudden appearance, make an appearance for my salvation.
