THIS TOO SHALL PASS.
What we see happening around us
at present is utterly pathetic. A huge clash of cultures. The extremists in the
Arab/Islamic world are so over-reacting to what Benedict 16th said
that it has even led to the shooting in the back of an innocent 65 year old
nun.
It is considered cowardice to
shoot a man in the back, so how do we grade a nun?
Hans Kung, a veteran
theologian of the Catholic Church once said,
”We will have no peace in the world until we
have peace among the world’s religions.”
Can anyone reading this
article ever imagine such a situation coming about? I would suggest that 99.9%
of people would respond with a resounding NO!
Islam (at least some major
factions of it) want world domination under their banner, but that means that
unless you convert to Islam you’ll be dead; clearly then that will not be peace
amongst religions as there will only be one religion. Who has the power to
bring about such a feat for Islam? No mullah, no Caliph, no Ayatollah, will
ever have that kind of power. One would have to imagine all other beliefs being
denounced. Imagine, atheism, Budism,Shintoism,Western Catholicism, Eastern
Orthodoxy, all the Protestant groups, etc., etc. all bowing the knee to the
banner of the ancient Moon-god of Arabia. Not possible.
No human being has the right
or the power to establish his own government and dominate all humanity. There
would be uproar in nation after nation should any man make such a claim.
The new World War 3 will not
go away no matter what any administration of
For anyone who believes the
scriptures we know that there is the promise of the return of God to this earth
to “restore all things”. In the book of Acts we are told that the Christ or
Messiah will return to this earth and bring about the ‘restoration of all
things…’
This will be a government
with supernatural powers and authority. In an Old Testament prophecy concerning
Christ we have the promise of the two appearances of God on earth; firstly as a
child---this has been fulfilled. Jesus came as a child and fulfilled the role
of the sacrifice for the sins of all mankind; secondly he will return and
fulfill part two which is to establish His kingdom---and we are told that the
zeal of the Lord of Hosts will perform this. Isaiah 9:6-7.
In this totally and utterly
confused world of such diverse religions only the Bible tells us what is going
to happen in the future.
Thankfully we can rely upon
the sure word of God.
