I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them. Isaiah 42:8-9
This passage of scripture provides us with the “why” we are experiencing such chaos in our world. There is a serious battle going on in the spiritual world and it is having a huge impact in our world. Unfortunately, the attention of many Christians has been diverted, thereby causing them to be derelict in their duty of sounding the alarm that Christ is soon to return.
The Return of Christ is more than a religious belief or doctrine that Christians are taught to believe and embrace for religious reasons. The Return of Christ will culminate the literal close of the saga between Good and evil, God and the devil. This battle has been raging since the beginning of time and believe it or not, it’s about to come to an end.
After the pandemic, mankind realizes there is an evil, malignant force out there that has the intent to destroy us. The world labeled it as an “invisible enemy.”
The Bible calls him the devil, also known as the father of lies. He is guilty of trying to steal the glory of God and is responsible for deceiving mankind, causing us to rebel against God.
Although, God did not immediately sentence the devil when this injustice first occurred, God did immediately pass judgement on what the devil did. Now the time has come for the devil to be fully prosecuted for the error of his ways.
We are living in a very special time. A time that our world has never seen before. Whether you agree with me or not, you have to acknowledge that something very peculiar is going on in the earth today that we have never witnessed before.
Yes, our world has seen its share of sickness and disease, but the effect that this Coronavirus is having on our world is jaw dropping.
When it comes to natural disasters, everyone would agree that we are no stranger to natural disasters, but 2020 was a record breaking year for natural disasters and 2021 is on track to surpass 2020.
Controversy, civil unrest and uprisings among the people of our world is unprecedented, but it has become a very common thing. However, what is so uncanny about what’s going on today is we have never experienced all of these occurrences happening at the same time and they are gradually getting worse, reaching record breaking levels.
With all the doom and gloom that’s going on in our world today, it's a little challenging to see why this is such a special time. Right now the world is more concerned about how do we put a stop to all of this evil. However, they tell me that the darkest time of the night are the hours that precede the breaking of day. With everything that’s transpiring in our world today, anyone can easily see that we are living in some very dark days, but ironically, those of us that have truly been born again can rejoice because the breaking of a New Day is upon us.
If you haven’t lost your home to a fire or a storm, then you can consider yourself blessed. If you are one of the fortunate ones that still has a job, enabling you to maintain a happy home, then you are blessed. And last, but certainly not least, if the death angel that’s walking the earth right now, hasn’t disrupted the peace of your happy home by taking the life of a love one, then you can definitely consider yourself blessed.
So why is this such a special time? The war of Good vs. Evil that has plagued the world since the beginning of time is about to come to an end. Those of us in the Christian community refer to this time as the End Times. Why? Is it because the world is about to come to an end? No, but what it does mean is the rule of the devil over the earth is about to come to a perpetual end. Many don’t realize this, including some in the Church, but God is on the verge of putting a stop to the diabolical influence that the devil has had on the world. This is the primary reason for the increase of evil in the world. The devil knows his time is running out, so he has increased his efforts of causing chaos and destruction in his vain attempts to defeat God.
God is also allowing mankind to experience the wiles of the devil to show us that we have a real enemy that is desirous to destroy us. When it’s all said and done with, mankind will come to the reality that we need God to defeat the devil. The Bible instructs us in Ephesians 6:11, “Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil, for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Eventually, mankind will give God the respect and honor that He alone deserves and when we rightfully reverence Him, He will fight for us and will defeat this enemy.
Church of the Living God, allow me to encourage you, “The Best Is Yet To Come.” If you do not consider yourself as an official member of the LORD’S CHURCH, but you want to be on the side of good, which is GOD’s side. Here’s what the Bible instructs us on what to do:
- ACKNOWLEDGE your humanism. As humans we all have fallen and come short of the Glory of God. Then you ask God to forgive your sin and then turn from your ungodly ways.
- BELIEVE the Gospel of Jesus Christ. That God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ into the world to restore mankind to eternal life.
- CONFESS with your mouth and BELIEVE in your heart that God raised Jesus Christ from the dead and He is now sitting on the Right Hand of the Father.
Jesus said, “Behold I come quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give everyone according to their work.” What work? The work of faith. The question that I present to the world is, “Do you believe?”
