Our Changing World - What Does The Future Really Hold? by BIBLESPEAKS(m): 10:18pm On Jul 16, 2016 |
if our world is to change for the better, what options do we have? one choice is to believe that the world's rulers and leaders will eventually become altruistic and start leading mankind into the ways of mutual tolerance,understanding,and peace. that means believing that tribalism and nationalism will be eradicated and replaces by a supranational attitude that can bring harmony to the world. it also involves believing that leaders of capitalist economies will recognize that profit motive alone is an inadequate ethic in a world of massive unemployment, homelessness, and huge medical bills. in addition it means believing that all the arms manufacturers of the world will start yearning for world peace. further, it means that criminal elements of the World, including the capos of the mafia, the the bosses of oriental crime gangs and drug lords as well as terrorists, will repent and turn over a new leaf! in other words, it means believing in a man-made Utopia - an impossible dream. if God is taken out of the equation, then we are in a situation similar to that described by the historian Paul Johnson in his book "A History of the Modern world. " he wrote that one of the underlying evils contributing to the "catastrophic failures and tragedies" of our century is "the arrogant belief that men and women could solve all the mysteries of the universe by their unaided intellects. " - compare Isaiah 2:2-4. However, there is a valid choice for positive change. that is to believe that the earth's creator, our planet's Landlord, the Great Architect of change, Jehovah God, will intervene in human affairs in order to save his handiwork. Bible history shows that God has taken action in the past to further his purposes, and Bible prophecy indicates that he will soon take action again in order to fulfill his original purpose for mankind and the earth. - Isaiah 45:18.
