The Last Days On Earth
On August 30, ABC News aired a special edition of 20/20 entitled The Last Days on Earth. I tuned in for only the final fifteen minutes in which they were discussing the last three of seven ominous threats to the human race, including nuclear war, plagues, and global warming.
Amazingly, all of these threats and others are foretold in Scripture. There are days coming that will include famine, pestilence, natural disasters, wars, and a spiritual drought that the world has never seen before. These events will not be created by man alone, however. God Himself will be working behind the scenes to judge the world for sin.
One scientist on the program concluded with glee that we are living in the first generation of history that actually gets to decide the future of our planet. How wrong could he be? In fact, it is our prideful assumption that we are in control that will help to provoke God’s wrath and judgment toward our sins.
The conclusion of the scientists had everything to do with working to preserve the planet, but nothing to do with recognizing the God of the universe and repenting before Him. Aren’t you glad that believers in Christ can think beyond the “end of the world” as we know it to an age of total peace under the reign and rule of King Jesus? And aren’t you glad that He’s promised us a never-ending home in the heavens?
Are you prepared to meet eternity head-on? It is sure to meet you sooner than you might realize!
