The Answer
When Christians talk about the end of the world, they mean something different than the scientists.The scientists are talking about the end of mankind. Christians are talking about the end of the cosmos.
This Greek word for world means "the set order."
Christians are talking about the end of the present world order which is governed by Satan and in rebellion against God.
Man has had his day, and the day of man's attempt to govern himself is about to close.
For a long time we've sought to govern ourselves and to live independently from God.
We've tried about every conceivable form of
government.
We've sought for equality and justice.
We've replaced one system of government with another.
But we've proven, by the variety of governmental
forms tried, that it's impossible for man to govern himself without falling into corruption.
Even communism, the newest form, has already slipped into an irrevocable form of corruption from which there is no recovery.
What's the answer?
What's the answer to the world's cries for peace, and the world's cries for love, and the world's cries for dwelling together in harmony?
There is no answer except Jesus Christ.
We who are of the church look for a new form of government - a monarchy that
embraces the entire world.
We're waiting for our King to come and set up that
monarchy.
We're waiting for righteousness to cover the earth as the waters cover the seas.
This glorious coming Kingdom and the momentous events surrounding its establishment are described to us in the prophetic book of
Revelation.
