Alb Micki - Time ft. R One

Guidance in a Time of Trouble… What kind of “Trouble”? In order to know what kind of trouble, we must look at the “Time.” I’d like us to start with the Bible, The Old Testament, in the Book of Ecclesiastics (Chapter 3, verses 1-8) wherein the preacher Ecclesiastics states:

“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted, a time to kill, and a time to heal, a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh;

A time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.”

There is a time for every purpose under the heaven. So what Time is it? The Book of Daniel, Chapter 12, verse 1 teaches that there “will be a time of trouble like there never was since there was a time and a nation”; and in that Time, Michael, The Archangel, will stand for his people.

Well, if we have entered that “time of trouble,” the like of which there has never been since there was a time and the nation, then what “Time of Trouble” are we looking at? Let’s look at the 103rd Surah (Chapter) of the Holy Qur’an, which is titled Al-’Asr (“The Time”):

“In The Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful. By the time! — Surely man is in loss, Except those who believe and do good, and exhort one another to Truth, and exhort one another to patience.” “Time” is bringing loss to humanity—time is doing that!
