Stephen Hawking was the most famous scientist of his generation. The author of [A Brief History of Time] died in 2018. Near the end of his life, he became something of a prophet of doom. In his last years, he pointed out several threats to human civilization and even to human existence. In 2014, he wrote, [The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race]. In 2015, he said, “Aggression threatens to destroy us all”…
He was not alone in his concerns. Films, music, books [both fiction and nonfiction], news reports, and even video games are filled with apocalyptic horror. And the answers—especially the fictional ones—are not particularly comforting. In real life, few people expect a superhero to save the day. A Savior is coming, but He doesn’t wear an [S] on His chest…
Some concerns are valid, and some are not. But all of them show that humanity senses its sin and fears coming judgment. They don’t use the word sin, but they talk a lot about the concept. However they express it, they show a growing realization that, as a species and as individuals, we are missing the mark. And some form of judgment must come…
There is an upside to judgment. It means that ~GOD~ is real, and so are His standards. It means the world is not an accident. You are not an accident. He created each one of us with purpose and meaning. We all sense these things to be true, but ~GOD~ gave us more than an intuition. He gave us The Holy Bible. And He verified The Holy Bible’s trustworthiness over and over again…
“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets…”
{Hebrews 1:1 KJV}
The prophets correctly described events that would take place a short time later, or even thousands of years later. Their words focused primarily on the first and second comings of ~JESUS~. They spoke of our time in stunning detail…
They didn’t get these things right because they were good guessers. No one can make that many good guesses. They got it right every time because ~GOD~ spoke through them…
We see an example of the ultimate expression of ~GOD’s~ love in the following passage:
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life…”
{John 3:16 KJV}
Yes, we are guilty. We are sinners. We deserve judgment. But, ~JESUS~ bore our punishment:
“For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls…”
{1 Peter 2:21-25 KJV}
He also made this promise to all who follow Him:
“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know…”
{John 14:1-4 KJV}
The news is often bleak. Those who reject Christ are right to feel a sense of impending doom. But followers of ~JESUS~ must know that the darkness will not last. The Lord will rapture His children out of this mess…
Later—He will return to earth to set up His millennial–kingdom. The world will move out of darkness and into light. ~JESUS~ promised, and He always keeps His word…
