The world at war

26 July 2011

Luke 21:8-10 And he said, "Take heed that you are not led astray; for many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he!' and, 'The time is at hand!' Do not go after them. And when you hear of wars and tumults, do not be terrified; for this must first take place, but the end will not be at once." Then he said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom;

What is the world coming to, bomb blasts in Norway, famine in Somalia, AIDS rampant in Africa, corrupt politicians, just some of the things that pass through what we see on TV. We have become so immunised to the news that we see, pass a few comments and live life in our insular world without even being aware that behind the scenes something more sinister is lurking. Most of us are afraid even to go there because this will just cause us to become depressed and anxious, so we would rather deal with our own reality than get involved in some one else’s.

Yet when we who become observers of the world and the people therein, we see that even in the apparent chaos there is hope, there is the hand of God who with His plan for this world will succeed. The sad part is that the world is rejecting all things Christian, the world is more interested in cross cultural relations, peace at all costs, open trade and the use of the threat of war and revenge if you disagree. In the end times the world will become partitioned into two camps, those who are Christian and those who are not. The Christians are all those who accept Jesus Christ as Messiah and so become part of the blessing and inheritance of all Israel and its tribes who are the CHURCH of Jesus Christ. Those who reject this way and turn to the ways of the world then fall under the curse of the law and so disease, famine, poverty, corruption and lawlessness becomes their lot.

We may even see this reflected even within the Church as people who proclaim Christ with their mouth but fail to submit to His rule and dominion over the life failing to receive His blessing.

Be encouraged today to pray for the second coming of Jesus Christ in our life time.

David
