You Can Feel Safe In A Troubled World Extreme and fast paced changes are causing anxiety the like of which has never before been seen in the history of this world. 1914 - WW1 - One world ended and another begun. Robert Haugh. The First World War killed fewer victims than the Second World War, destroyed fewer buildings, and uprooted millions instead of tens of millions — but in many ways it left even deeper scars both on the mind and on the map of Europe. The old world never recovered from the shock. Edmond Taylor, in The Fossil Monarchies. God would never be cruel enough to create a cyclone as terrible as that Argonne battle. Only man would ever think of doing an awful thing like that. It looked like the abomination of desolation must look like. And all through the long night those big guns flashed and growled just like the lightning and the thunder when it storms in the mountains at home. And, oh my, we had to pass the wounded. And some of them were on stretchers going back to the dressing stations, and some of them were lying around, moaning and twitching. And the dead were all along the road. And it was wet and cold. And it all made me think of the Bible and the story of the Anti-Christ and Armageddon. Alvin C. York in his account of 7 October 1918, in the Diary of Alvin York Matthew 24:3-8 While he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately, saying -Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence and of the conclusion of the system of things? In answer Jesus said to them -Look out that nobody misleads you, for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, -I am the Christ, and will mislead many. You are going to hear of wars and reports of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for these things must take place, but the end is not yet -For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be food shortages and earthquakes in one place after another. All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress. Since WW1 the world has seen a constant stream of war and terrorism in all its dreadful forms. Revelations 6:4 Another came out, a fiery-colored , and it was granted to the one seated on it to take peace away from the earth so that they should slaughter one another, and he was given a great sword. Earthquakes are 20x more frequent than in the previous 2000yrs. 18 each year strong enough to split the earth. 20 old diseases spreading rapidly. Not to mention new diseases and escalations of other medical problems. Food supplies around the world are selective and in propsperous countries food is now poisoned by pesticides, herbicides and chemical additives. Obesity is rampant because of added sugars to most processed foods so that although rich countries have all they can eat it is killing the populations as quickly, it would seem, as those countries with a lack of daily food supplies. So, how can we feel secure in a world gone mad? John 4:24 God is a Spirit, and those worshipping him must worship with spirit and truth. We need to apply Gods Truth in our lives. Proverbs 18:10 The name of Jehovah is a strong tower. Into it the righteous one runs and receives protection God is the greatest source of protection for us. He can give us security now and in the future. Philipians 4:6+7 Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus. We have so many examples in Gods Word of righteous people who kept their hope in Jehovah God and received His protection but Noahs example is the greatest in that in his time the world received a massive judgement foreshadowing the judgement facing us all as this system of things comes to its conclusion. Matthew 24:37-39 For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the of man will be. For as they were in those days before the Flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and they took no note until the Flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of the of man will be. Genesis 6:9 Noah was a righteous man. He proved himself faultless among his contemporaries. Noah walked with the true God Genesis 6:22 And Noah did according to all that God had commanded him. He did just so The door to the symbolic ark of our day is still open but how long before it shuts and leaves the bulk of mankind locked out to face the proverbial flood of Armageddon? What is the equivalent ark of today? It is the provisions provided by the annointed brothers still living in this world. By learning the Truth from such ones and learning to apply Gods holy spirit in our lives we are able to enter todays figurative ark to survive the coming flood and tempest of the greatest tribulation this world will ever see. Revelations 7:9+10, 13-17 After this I saw, and look! a great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes and there were palm branches in their hands and they keep shouting with a loud voice, saying -Salvation we owe to our God, who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb.......In response one of the elders said to me -These who are dressed in the white robes, who are they and where did they come from? So right away I said to him -My lord, you are the one who knows. And he said to me -These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Revelations 21:4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. The former things being satanic control and sway and the whole system of things engendered by his arrogance and lying greed. It will all pass away and make way for the Government of God. We do not need to be ignorant of these things but in fact we can hold tight to the promises of God because they are sure and true. 1 Thessalonians 5:2+3 For you yourselves know very well that Jehovah’s day is coming exactly as a thief in the night. Whenever it is that they are saying, -Peace and security! then sudden destruction is to be instantly on them, just like birth pains on a pregnant woman, and they will by no means escape. Within Gods Word are many things hard to realise for the many but for the few who have full faith in Jahs promises and hold the earthly hope, who beg, plead and supplicate God for His protection and His holy spirit in their lives and who allow that spirit to lead and change them, then, if we are willing, we too can live now with the greatest security known to mankind, the security of Jehovah God.
