Why God's Wrath Is Coming
The simple explanation is that wickedness continues. Sure there are some righteous
people out there, but their number is shrinking. There are fewer people going
to church. There are fewer people who actually study their Bibles as opposed
to just reading them. There are fewer people who actually give their life to
Jesus and serve God. And there are so many, who wear the name of Jesus, but
live for Satan and self. Many just give it lip service because they have no
intention of changing the way they live. Many have no intention of teaching
and warning others of their ultimate destiny.
God has exercised His wrath upon peoples and nations in the past, and in a way,
He still does. There is one final day of wrath that we read about in the Bible.
It will be the day that the world will be judged by Jesus (Acts 17:30-31).
All the problems in the world can be attributed to those things that God calls
wickedness or an abomination. The murder of innocent children was approved and
there was cheering heard throughout the land. The forces of evil attack in our
back yard, and very few are moved to find out why. Some go out of their way
to deny what the truth actually is.
The age of political correctness is destroying this nation and others around
the world. There is nothing you can imagine that does not offend someone somewhere.
Sure we could offer a solution that would work to make this world better, but
the majority in this world does not want it.
Imagine a world with no war because people loved and respected each other. Imagine
everyone standing up for the rights of individuals no matter their station in
life. Just try to imagine a world where greed was removed and everything was
made available for the betterment of mankind. Imagine being able to afford your
medicine and medical services. Just imagine a better world because people would
treat each other fairly, honestly, and kindly just because God wants (commands)
them to.
If more people would turn to God to serve Him, and return to Him if they had
left, this world would improve tremendously. Of course that is wishful thinking.
Those of us who know God's word realize that this could be if only others would
start living the way God wants them to live. Not only that, God has promised
rich and bountiful blessings if people would serve Him. A true student of history
could tell you that the Judeo-Christian religion in America was a major factor
in the prosperity of this country. Just realize that when people turned away
from God, things started going bad, and they will continue to get worse.
Our days on this earth are not that long, and I feel sorry for the generations
that must follow. I have seen the destruction and the destructive nature of
the path humanity is following. I have seen warning after warning being responded
with horrible epitaphs like bigot, racist, alarmist, and many too harsh to repeat
here. God's wrath is coming upon not only our nation, but just about every nation
on this planet. Righteousness is an endangered species that the majority wishes
into extinction. Insects, bugs, and criminals are treated with much more respect
than those who would live the righteousness of God. May we rise up to overcome
this evil and put our trust in God.
