And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. (Mat 24:4-8)
While they can never completely remove the King of the Universe, GOD will allow them more and more free will to 'rule' this world, and follow their 'father', until our Lord returns and removes all His enemies. It will get worse and worse, from our point of view, and there will come a day when He takes us Home, until all things are consummated. We can take comfort in the promises, that as bad as it gets, our Lord has overcome this world, and we can have peace, and we are secure in Him.
While we are here, and safe in His arms, we are to accomplish His will and His work. In the power of His might, we are to minister to the hurting and in need. As His ambassadors, until He calls us Home, we are to lift Him up, so He will draw all men to Himself. We are to disciple one another in the Word, and love one another in Spirit and in unity, so all men know we are His disciples, even while some hate and revile us for our witness and faith in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary. We are to go in the power of GOD, filled with the Spirit, and as we go, we are to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with all who will hear. We are commanded to be ministers of reconciliation, and proclaim the Good News of forgiveness and Salvation to all, that some may believe and in believing have life in His Name.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.
In Christ,
