The world around us is beginning to crash to the ground.  Listen to the sound of destruction.  It comes from the hills.  Like distant thunder we hear the faint rumble of hopelessness and death.  Listen!  Be still and listen with all your heart.  The approach is in progress.  It is an approaching “storm of wickedness”.

God has promised that man will endure a horrible time in the last days.  His wrath has been held back for thousands of years.  He has been patient and loving for everyone who will call upon Him.  And He has shown mercy on the godless and ungodly as they mark out their days in rebellion and cursings toward the Holy One of Israel.

But listen.  Can’t you hear that faint rumble?  It is the collapse of man’s ability to fend off chaos.  Man has determined that he is able to bring about peace on this world.  How can there be peace in a world of limited resources?  How can there be peace anywhere without the Living God directing the ways of man? 

They have thrown His Holy Commands aside in favor of pleasure and pride.  Now they begin to pay the price.  And as the Day comes closer, the price will increase.  God will be glorified.  And rebels will be subjected to humiliation, defeat, fear, and destruction.  Listen to the faint rumble. 

By His Grace.
