As a child growing up I was always fascinated by war. You may have to thank Hollywood for that. I loved the action and would play out war actions in my house as I was growing up. I usually did this alone as I was the only son in my family. Now I have 3 sons and I see them doing similar things with cars and "birds". I suppose they do not have enough war movies to inspire them. The closest was "to infinity and beyond" complete with hand and body motions. But all this was play acting and not real.
Reading Revelations Chapter 7 you will see a glimpse of the catastrophe that is coming as evil is defeated. Many around the world did not have my privilege or the privilege of my children to grow up in relative peace and only see war and fighting through movies and news stories. But it is much more painful than our play acting. For this reason many people reject the need for God until it is too late.
There is something better. You have a good thing today and you are happy, but there is something much better. Don't miss it for the world. Don't let the lack of desperation rob you of the greatest out of this world experience. The Apostle John saw and heard some incredible things to come.
They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat; for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.
Don't be like the frog that got comfortable in the water until it was too late to jump. You need to jump to Jesus before it becomes too hot. You may think you are currently in the most ancient religion. But in my own journey I have discovered that in the beginning, your forefathers in ancient times knew Yahweh God and His plans for salvation. Yes, there is something better.
Father, I pray for many to make that that simple leap.
