Are there those that say everything is well and that it is
not the 11th hour in our society? Do they say that we have
no real troubles and scoff at the thought of a Creator? Is
the earth more active with more violent events? Who will
send a warning to the world to make themselves ready to
meet the Creator of the universe?
Peter warned of those scoffers that would come in the last
days making fun of God's existence and His holy methods--
"And saying, Where is the promise of His coming? for since
the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were
from the beginning of the creation" (2Pet 3:4). However
circumstances are very different in creation today; Our
earth and economy are changing quickly.
Paul explained to the Romans that the earth longs for its
Creator to return to restore the balance that once existed-
"For we know that the whole creation groans and travails
in pain together until now" (Rom 8:22). Creation anxiously
waits for its Redeemer. The state of the creation has hope.
God will deliver it from being held in bondage to depravity
of man. The miseries of the human race, through their own
and each other's wickedness, declare that the world won't
always to continue to be as it is.
Jesus warned His disciples privately of the terrible events
that would happen in the last days and to prepare for it-
"For in those days there will be affliction, such as has
not been from the beginning of the creation which God
created until this time, neither shall be" (Mark 13:19).
Unrepentant sinners will see Him, the one that they have
pierced, and though they laugh now, they will mourn and
weep in endless horror and despair without anyone to help.
Let us remember Who has the holier and righteous way.
God's Name is Jehová Elohim. He is the God who puts
our feet on a Highway of Holiness that allows us to
enter at the narrow gate of eternal life, not the wide
Broadway that leads to destruction. Lift your hands,
heart to Him for His Creation and provision of the
righteous way. You can Trust Him and Praise Him
Today for a holy way and better way!
