"And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received royal power, but they are to receive authority as kings for one hour, together with the beast. These are of one mind, and they hand over their power and authority to the beast. They will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful."
Revelation 17:12-14 (E.S.V.)

Some are worried. Most find joy in what Jesus intended for them to know.
Matthew 24
42 Watch therfore, for ye know not what houre your Lord doth come.
43 But know this, that if the good man of the house had knowen in what watch the thiefe would come, he would haue watched, and would not haue suffered his house to be broken vp.
44 Therefore be yee also ready: for in such an houre as you thinke not, the sonne of man commeth.
That's a very worthwhile distinction to have in mind. Being worried about wanting to get it right compels Christians to study. When they get a question answered then they know what their creator wants versus what they're doing. Sometimes people need to access some information and incorporate it into their lives before going further. While there is no end to what one can learn in studying scripture, there is some place for each person where they need to pause no matter how delightful learning may be. As for myself I start and stop and start and stop. And now I'm old enough that I'm rediscovering things forgotten.
Gets into a matter of semantics in how the word "worry" is used...
-Whether or not to worry with it.
-To worry a bad tooth.
-Not gonna worry about it.
-To worry about making the week's payroll.
Do you suppose people worry over what He said the unforgivable sin is?
SEMANTICS: the branch of linguistics and logic concerned with meaning. There are a number of branches and subbranches of semantics, including formal semantics, which studies the logical aspects of meaning, such as sense, reference, implication, and logical form, lexical semantics, which studies word meanings and word relations, and conceptual semantics, which studies the cognitive structure of meaning.
I like them big words. If one has committed the unforgivable sin it sure isn't going to do any good worrying about it. Or fretting about it
Wonder if the aliens put the semantics on us?
Do you suppose people worry over what He said the unforgivable sin is?
Could they have done that yet?
They could have. It is hard to tell what others do. God knows though. So out of our hands. He knows what to do. I firmly believe that.
God has everything under control.
Agreed, God is absolutely in control.
And to piggy back on that thought, the fact that He answers prayers, sometimes shows people what is to come and sets things up in ways that we are only sometimes fortunate enough to even get a whiff of, all that indicates He is actively involved in running this creation in His mysterious ways on a continual basis. Some people just cannot countenance the idea that God is in control. They wring their hands with errant thoughts such as oh I just can't see how a loving God could let a thing like _(fill in the blank)_ happen. It never occurs to them that we came here to graduate and what graduation day is.
You know, there's been so much coming to pass in the last few decades that it's really not easy to entertain a thought that we aren't closing in on when Jesus sets his feet on the mount. Yeah there's a lot that still has to happen but wow, so much has already happened.
And all of that is being watched by God. He has his plan. He is in control. No need to discuss, worry, anguish, try to figure it out or a whole host of other things to figure out the time about what God says that no one knows but God.
He has the Gavel and he will strike the Sound Block when he wants to.
NOTHING we say, do, sweat over, etc., etc., will change God's plan.
