Hi again !
Christ as the Prince of Peace gives every individual the ability to make peace with God, to be saved, to have right standing with God. The bible states that with the return of Christ there will be universal peace and prosperity. Marrying, giving in marriage, parties, celebrations. But also all this turmoil preceeding the peace period. Earthquakes, fire, wars , rumors of wars. What I see is that God will play out this scenario better than the most fantastic play or sci fi drama you have ever witnessed.
I am optimistic that peace will be reached in the middle east, punctuated with eruptions of violence, and wars. On the whole, I agree with you. But have faith my friend and do not faint or grow weary, or slow down your efforts to build God's kingdom. Offer your "reasonable service" as John so eloquently pointed out to me the other day. The days are growing shorter. To so many millions of Christians the efforts of salvation seem so distantly removed from the earth to heaven itself. But my vision is concentrated on the wonderful future the earth has to look forward to. This place will one day be Eden again, and we will populate our galaxy and other galaxies that the descendants of Abraham to number them into the trillions of stars and grains of sand in the ocean.
In Christ.gregor |
