"All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: there is a time wherein one man ruleth over another to his own hurt." (Ecclesiastes 8:9 KJV)
"Then Pilate went back into his headquarters and called for Jesus to be brought back to him. "Are you the king of the Jews?" he asked him. Jesus replied, "Is this your own question, or did others tell you about me?" "Am I a Jew?" Pilate retorted. "Your own people and their leading priests brought you to me for trial. Why? What have you done?" Jesus answered, "My Kingdom is not an earthly kingdom. If it were, my followers would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish leaders. But my Kingdom is not of this world." Pilate said, "So you are a king?" Jesus responded, "You say I am king. Actually, I was born and came into the world to testify to the truth. All who love the truth recognize that what I say is true."" (John 18:33-37 NLT)
To be perfectly clear, things will be changed, but only for a very short season; much to the shame of man's will to love evil more than goodness and righteousness. However, the whole world needs to see clearly the difference between right and wrong. Those that love what is right, will see the vast difference; those that hate what is right, will pursue wickedness and evil. Unfortunately, wickedness and evil will temporarily win, once the church is taken up to be with the Lord!
That is not a prophecy, it is an observation. God has given us a chance to see what wickedness does and what it clearly looks like; now we get to see what mankind might try to do in order to fix it. We should be on the side that looks to defeat the wrongs and put forth the rights that have been taken, because it is the thing to do. After all, we are to be salt and light!
Anywho, that's my thoughts, and I am sticking to it! This is a very pivotal moment in history, we should make every effort to pay attention, while at the same time, tell everyone we know that Jesus is coming very soon. We must be ready, and one sure way of being ready is to make sure we know He is coming!
During the Passover in Egypt, when God caused to first-born to die, those who survived did so because they not only marked their doorposts with blood, but they were dressed, had their shoes on, and were ready to go somewhere. They were prepared to go!
Hopefully we are ready to go, having our belief in His coming sure, believing it is true...
""Wake up! Strengthen what little remains, for even what is left is almost dead. I find that your actions do not meet the requirements of my God. Go back to what you heard and believed at first; hold to it firmly. Repent and turn to me again. If you don't wake up, I will come to you suddenly, as unexpected as a thief."" (Revelation 3:2-3 NLT)
