 * The bible quoted that ‘heaven and earth will pass away but none of my (God’s) word will go without coming to pass.’ This implies that even if it takes a while before heaven and earth pass away, the word of God will not go unfulfilled no matter how long it takes, it’s sure to come to pass. Prophets are God’s messengers and whatever they speak in the spirit of prophecy is God’s word, hence, no matter how long it takes, their words would come to pass because of the source.

He made it known that DSS would do so much but Bichi will be removed and replaced by someone from the south....
