Comment:
The people of the world need peace today more than ever before. However, the Prophet Daniel had long prophesied that the last days we are living in will be a time when “the wicked will do wickedly”. (Daniel 12:10) People of the world need to be given the understanding that there are spiritual forces behind the troubles of mankind and that man does not have the power to solve these problems on his own. – Ephesians 2:1,2.
The confusion in the world is evidence of the last-ditch effort by the devil to cause distress and instability in the world and drag many into destruction knowing that he will soon be killed by God Almighty. (Romans 16:20) However, God through His son, Jesus Christ will continue to restrain him from carrying out his boast of destroying all flesh until the time of his end is due. – Psalm 110:2; Revelation 20:1-3.
The Lord Jesus charged Christians thus: “And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.” – Luke 21:34-36.
