The world has many answers to all of the human ills we experience.
Most assume mankind, given enough money and training, can be. perfect. Yet to be perfect, you have to destroy whites and jews, or shout your abortion or give up on the whole 2 gender one couple one family concept. And certainly, don;t explore whether God is real. Hebrews 10:31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. It is, indeed. He will do as He wills Not a tame gift giving God, or a don;t worry I've got your back kind of God. but a Holy Creator.Much easier to do your human thing, ignoring, or doing something that proves you are a "good person" or running to some other religion, with rules, so you feel you belong. Not all monotheists worship the same God. No matter how you "identify " yourself, you are human, a body soul and spirit. without acknowledging God (accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior) and being filled with the Holy Spirit, you cannot having a living spirit in communication with God. With a dead spirit, you fill it up with anything.. and I mean anything, Problem is, lawless mankind does lawless things. Genesis 6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. From the loss of the Garden to the Flood, mankind had it ...easy. long lives, spreading out to new areas.. doing whatever they wished, no government. Only a handful of men during the entire time who called for righteousness.Humans nearly destroyed... everything. violence was everywhere. Anarchy doesn;t work. So, after a reset, mankind next tried a one person dominating government. Tower of Babel. why work to explore this world and live in peace when you could have everything in one place? Reset again, People moved into every corner of earth. everyone had differing ideas of government, but as long as the leaders were truly working for their people, it was finel Of course, not enough for some. we get Egypt, Babylon, Medes and Persians, Greeks and Romans. China moves to an imperial emperor instead of differing clans controlling areas. Africa, the Americas, etc we know less about... but people are people.Eventually we get cities, huge building projects...everywhere.Armies. death. The only place to get it right was Israel, after a period of time, God called forth judges, heroes to help lift Israel up and stop their enemies... mankind does so love taking what it not his. One place of worship.. and eventually, allowing them to experience kings... human government good kings and bad kings...then loss of sovereignty to other nations, after a period of exile and return did not cure them of their ways. Given an answer to these woes... they killed Jesus. fulfillment of so many prophecies, the longed for Messiah, dead on a cross.He wasn;t what they wanted either. Enter the second exile, and 70 years ago, the return. God's covenants stand, no human failure can break them. That's pretty awesome literally. a living God who fulfills promises? Are we any different today? oh we play at being nation states, while signing up for trade agreements abusing poorer peoples to make our goods, and signing on to international compacts that serve some not others. Power corrupts. We have known this since Nimrod. As nations move into chaos.. as happens with every empire. the foundations of society erode or are actively pushed. women without support, historically more often with girl babies, abort or expose the infants to die, marriage rules crumble. sex in every form takes place. Eunuchs have been a part of civilized ahem, countries since the beginning too. Sex trade becomes common.sometimes in conjunction with worship. That not being enough for the greed of the elites, we move into slavery owning someone therefore your wealth is in flesh. often it does start with a need for labor but expands to something much crueler. We are watching the end of western civilization We who love God fear what will arise. every human being a slave, though they think they are a citizen. payments in sex or drugs. anything to relieve the pain and the last surprise, a worship system that says, worship or die. yes even those faithful peons who helped overthrow the present order. There are answers for all of this. Instead of being part of a group,deserving more because the group was oppressed in the past, be an individual. make sure you are a citizen of Heaven. there is no oppression in that world. Instead of shouting our your abortion to turn shame into pride, go to the cross and be relieved of your actual guilt. Jesus loves you, He died for you, and He took the penalty of sin, for you. Yes, you. Every human being has been given a measure of faith. Every person alive can seek Jesus. Jesus didn;t just die for your sin. He was resurrected. He promises eternal life. He included gentiles in the plan. He is coming to reign on the throne of David. all promises fulfilled. Continue seeking death, or choose life. I wish for everyone to experience the love of God, not the wrath. It isnt just words for an insurance policy to get into Heaven., It is a total way of being. Ask Him to help you find Him. |
