The Bible on Trial

Anticipation~

"Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth." Rev. 3:9 (ESV).

Well folks, it seem we are almost there. Almost where, you ask? Isn't everything going on as always? Yes, pretty much. Arn't there wars and rumors of wars still rampant in the world? Yep, you bet! Isn't money becoming worth less than ever, and becoming more difficult to not only earn but actually get from your bank in physical form? Absolutely. Arn't the social norms surrounding the differences between men and women becoming more and more objectified as being out of place in the modern world of sexual identity? 

All of these things point to a big change that is taking place not only here in America, but around the world. These changes are relfected in what the 'good people' of the world are doing in fighting back at those that are trying to turn the world upside down, by promoting men participating in women's sports and winning, and people in the government saying that men can actually bare children, in spite of obvious biological differences.

And even though all of this is happening, adding a high level of confusion to public discourse, the 'good people' of the world are not having any of it. These Good People that worship God and want the best for their families don't yet know the God that they worship. These Good People believe that what God has said about salvation and eternal life has more to do with belief and grace than knowing who their God really is, and what He/They demand as far as the righteousness of the Kingdom of God is concerned.

These Good People are waiting with great anticipation for God to save them, not realizing that it is their own obedience to the Commandments of God and the Testimony of Jesus that brings salvation and Life.
