| IS THE WORLD COMING TO AN END?
All week long I've sat and watched the news as I'm sure many of you have to see the news about whats going on in Israel. I've heard many people asking the question "Is this the beginning of World War 3?" And as a human being I grieve for whats going on over there. The loss of human life is just so tragic and sad. War is such an ugly thing. And it brings out the very worst in people. I was reading the news on AOL this evening and happened into one of their message boards. Now I don't like message boards as a rule because frankly most of it is just a sounding board for people to spew hate and bigotry. It's a little like watching a Jerry Springer show sometimes. But tonight i was looking to see what people were saying about the middle east conflict. And as usual I found more than enough of the same old tired fighting about who's right and who's wrong. There were tons of post calling Muslims names and tons more calling Jews names. And tons calling our President names. At first I got angry like I always do when I read such stupid things. But the more and more I read the more it dawned on me. This is serious. These people are lost and we don't have alot of time left. So instead of staying angry i took the sadness and prayed, Lord give me the words and I posted this response. Everytime I go into these message boards I ask myself why I do it. It always seems that theres more than a fair amount of people that seem to only use the boards to spew hate and bigotry. And tonight is no exception. The amount of hate that generates throughout, at first just made me so angry that I was just going to give up and not read anymore. Then the more I read the less angry I got and just more filled with sorrow than anything else.So I post because I feel led to do so. I've read so many posts and just decided rather than trying to answer each one individually it would just be easier to post them all at once. To those that want to know why we should stand behind Israel the answer is found in Zechariah 2:8-9 "For thus saith The Lord of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you; for he that touches you toucheth the apple of his eye. For behold I will shake mine hand upon them and they shall be spoil to their servants and ye shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me". God loves Israel. They are his chosen people and I thank the Lord for a President who understands the need to stand behind Israel. To the person that asked Why would God chose the ones that killed his son. (meaning the Jews of course) I say read John 10:18 No Man taketh it from me but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my father. The Jews didn't kill Jesus. Jesus gave his life freely because of his love for us. We are all sinners and he gave his life for everyone of us. The Jews, the Muslims, the Buddists, and every other group that you can name. Jesus died for all of us in mankind. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. To the person that asked why religion touches off so much violence I say that religion isn't really the issue. It's sin that touches off violence. Too many people use religion as a tool to get what they want. . The simple truth is that we are all sinners. And as long as we are walking around thinking that we don't need God then we're doomed to walk that road straight to hell. Satan is a powerful being and he will use anything handy to keep people from finding their way to the truth. He will use religion especially because people are searching for answers and they think religion is the way to find it. To the rest of the posts that are just bigoted and just spewing hate I say to you that I will be praying for you. You are so in need of finding the only answer to peace and love there is. The world is on a fast track and spiraling out of control more and more each passing day. Do I believe that we are in the end times?. You bet I do. It is a very scary time to be alive. But as a Christian and believer in Jesus Christ it's also an exciting time to be alive. To watch the prophesies played out in our lifetime is an amazing and awesome thing. I can hear about 75% of you already clicking this off. Another religious nut you're saying to yourself. Well label me what you will but it's not about Religion. It's all about relationship. An ongoing day to day relationship with the one and only God. I pray that all of you will come to know him. God bless all JESUS IS COMING SOON!!!!! Are you ready for him? Are your friends and family? Time is wasting and we as believers need to get out the word that there is only one way into Heaven. We need to reach out to the Lost and show them Jesus's love through us. With all my heart I feel the urgency to tell people that yes the world is going to end soon. But it doesn't have to be scary. It can be wonderful when you know that soon and very soon we are going to stand face to face with Lord of Heaven and Earth. I ask you to reach out and tell someone today that they don't have much time left to make the decision between life and death. And for us the believers, it's not the end of the world but the beginning of life eternal. What a promise huh? |
