A Christian View of 2022 - #28

Have you noticed lately how fragile our world has become.? Whether internationally or individually, we can be so easily broken.

The threads that tie us together are being strained to the point of elasticity.

But the finger prints of Matthew 24 are on the escalating events that are making headlines in today’s news cycles.

China and Taiwan, Russia and Ukraine, Iran and Israel- God is setting the stage for His end- time strategy ; and, nations will align according to the planned purpose of the Most High.

Fragile? Yes! - and all that humanity has is a band-aid remedy, a short- sighted solution and an inadequate answer.

We boast in and brag about United Nations, NATO, Islamic Coalitions and forged alliances to only discover that they are defined somewhere between corrupted and compromised and crippled.

The Eternal One sits high and lifted up! His throne is universal, His crown is glorious and His name is Jesus - God incarnate, Crucified, Raised to Glory and soon coming King.

Brokenness will be healed and a fragile world will be redeemed. A groaning creation will be renewed and the great Son of Man, even the great Son of God, will reign.

2022 has been brought to the borders of a land called Broken… and the coming months will deliver more blunt blows that will threaten our fragile future.

I write these words to you not as a politician, not as a prophet.

All I have is a Book that has been banned, burned and belittled; a Book that has been ridiculed by human philosophy, rejected by arguing atheists and reduced to irrelevance by modern religious thought and theology.

To me, this Book, the Holy Bible, stands in the face of a fragile, broken world, stands as the ages pass by, stands in the face of political correctness, perverted culture and perceived contradictions.

It’s all I have - belief in a Book that says - Heaven and earth shall pass away but my words shall not pass away. It is forever settled in heaven.

A settled Word for a suffering, sinful world.

Authored by God, authenticated by the Canon of Scripture and accredited by recorded and revealed history and anointed by the Holy Spirit.

The Bible - we can bring our fragile world and broken lives to a firm foundation and find a footing of salvation and security!
