The paragrah before says: "God Brought deliverance through a man, allowing a nation to be blessed. Way was made for God wondrous plan to move forward. If ever there was a cause, it's now. There was a cause in the time of Joseph and so it is now.. We are living in critical tomes and God has a plan for you".
Hope this helps
