The world is in a mess. The word “chaos” is used often today.
Look at America. I have no doubt that America is the Beast that is referred to in Revelation . Donald Trump claims to be a supporter of democracy but over the years the various laws in America have been changed by both the Democrats and Republicans. Now we find the end result that has been established, namely a dictatorship. America was started by some Christians but things started to change quickly.
The reliance on God and His Majestic Power started to reduce. In 1 Samuel 8 the people of Israel applied democracy and went to God and asked for a king to rule them.
Here we see democracy coming to the tragic fore. The majority rejected God and they demanded a king to lead and rule them.
God gracefully allowed it to happen.
Americans are an empire which has changed over the years. The British Empire has collapsed like the others before it, namely that of the Romans, Greeks and some more. America is now heading in that direction. It will start when it’s economy collapses.
The UN has set out a plan to change the world so that we can have a new world order by 2030. The World Economic Forum is the leader of this new world order. Some items sound good but i doubt that totally. We will have one economy,one government and one faith. We must wake-up now, not tomorrow. AI could become a new religion? All citizens will have a number so that control can be exercised on all people on earth. The gap between the elite and the poor will increase. In 2015 a list was made of all the world events that occurred in September that year and is being compared with the same month in 2025. Big changes have occurred. The results will be posted soon.
Besides America two empires are doing well. Russia and it’s war against Ukraine and now looking at Nato and Europe as well. China is doing fine, slowly, silently and deadly.
The Middle East is still at war. Now let us see what happens there tomorrow.
European Union States are being invaded by Islam. The United King is being overwhelmed by Islam.The Church has collapsed and is silent.
It is not just the world that is in a mess. It applies to the Church as well.
My favourite book in the Bible now is Habakkuk.This small prophet starts off by complaining to God about the chaos in the world not once but twice! Then comes his prayer. Then he rejoices when he realises that The God Most High is still in control.
Most Christians live in America. Over the years the Evangelical Churches of numerous denominations have split into two. Abortions, LGBTQ and various other matters have been the cause. It is also visible to the world that Christians who go to Church on a Sunday being of many groups, denominations etc. have placed more trust in politicians than the Person that they visit on Sundays. To put it in another way. Christians have submitted to Governments. Where is their King? He is here, everywhere not just in a building, but in them if they truely believe. Are they in Him?
Religion has come to the fore.
Governments can be trusted. “They have power”. All first century like Churches have disappeared.
The Fear of the Lord has gone and so the Authority of Jesus the King. The expression of “one another” has been rubbed out. In Matthew 24 Jesus told the disciples that the Temple would be destroyed, which it was in 70AD by the Romans.
So now we are waiting for the third Temple? The third Temple is us.
Look at the Churches today. Tall buildings with altars, communion tables and no meals.
Only one person speaks and the rest listen or fall asleep.In the first century Churches were in homes in local communities. Read 1 Corinthians chapters 11 to 14 and see what Paul taught about Churches. All could participate and the 13th Chapter refers to The Churches, not weddings. These services or asseblies were there to edify each other. They were not worship services as we do today. Refer to Dr.Wadsworth and the interpretation of the Greek word “worship” and all related information.
Churches increase deeds and prayer is gone. The elderly are separated from the rest of God’s family. A great deal more can be said about the lack of discipleship and deliverance . Two more problem areas in the Church today. Worship or entertainment on a Sunday and commercialisation of Christianity.
Theses two are closely linked. Play music and sing and pay copywriters,amongst other things.
Churches are now involved in humanism, human rights and governments but forget about orphans and widows, these two groups that God lifts above others. The ordinary is no longer seen.
Then another problem area. What is the Gospel? How is it understood? King Jesus came to save us and when we hear this and believe in Him we are saved? Yes. But what sort of disciples are we? What is the full Gospel?
Can the Church today be described as optimistic?
Answer is no. Jesus saved us. He lead us from darkness into the Light. So in the start of the end let us look up to Him and glorify Him!
God bless.
