A Christian View of 2022 - #27
Prophecy is history written in advance! It’s not a God- guessing game nor a Bible- guide for the blind and biased.
The Almighty did not make us and then forsake us. He has remained engaged in the affairs of nature and the nations.
Daniel 2:19-22 NLT
“That night the secret was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven. He said, “Praise the name of God forever and ever, for he has all wisdom and power. He controls the course of world events; he removes kings and sets up other kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the scholars.”
We, through arrogance, imagine that we control our destiny with elections , invasions, insurrections, all-the-while, God’s governance is sovereign, certain and settled.
The justice, jurisdiction and judgement of the world has been given over to Jesus -
Isaiah prophesied that the government will be on His shoulders
Isaiah 8:6-7 NLT
For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. His government and its peace will never end. He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David for all eternity. The passionate commitment of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies will make this happen!
MY Christian View is centered in Christ. Putin and his political partners have a rendezvous with prophecy - Armageddon alarms are sounding - the world’s military will march to the plains of Megiddo and there meet the Master of earth, sea and sky - Jesus, crowned King of kings and Lord of lords.
Tomorrow belongs to neither dictators nor democracies; the East nor the West.
China will not champion the future.
Rogue nations and narcissistic Rulers cannot hold the world in hostage forever.
He who bore the cross will wear the crown. Crucified Vulnerability will become the conquering Victory.
2022 has only one Lord; and Jesus is His name.
Recorded time - past, present and future will reflect and reveal the redemption and reign of the Crucified and Risen Christ.
