“I am concerned for the security of our great nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within.”
- General Douglas MacArthur
There is a grave threat to our republic at work now behind the scenes. This force has been active ever since the first human being set foot upon our shore. This force is not some great conspiracy. It is not a cabal conducted by Freemasons or the “Illuminati”. The real source that threatens our liberty and security is something that every American, regardless of political affiliation, struggles with every day. Our greatest enemy is sin and ignorance of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
I love to watch the discovery channel and the history channel on TV. I am a history geek and always have been. What irritates me is when these channels continually show programs that allude to some great conspiracy that is working behind the scenes to take control of the world. While such programs may be entertaining they distract from the truth.
If the Bible is true, there will come a world order headed by a charismatic leader who will dominate the political landscape. This, however, is not a secret or a conspiracy and in that sense is not “new”. It has been predicted since the 1st Century when it was recorded by John the Apostle and others. It has been studied discussed and even been the subject of hundreds of books and many movies.
If we are to prepare for the reality and not be distracted by the fantasy, we must deal with the issue of sin. Sin is what will eventually lead to this evil regime and the only way one can overcome sin is through the gospel. If you are waiting for a discovery channel expose to reveal this, you may be waiting a long time. You can however turn to a very old source that states:
“…if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.””
- Romans 10:9-11
There is no new world order only an old sinful one who will only be made right through the love of Jesus Christ. What world order are you hoping for?
This is so true. There is no better way to explain it than what God’s Holy Word says. The problem is the same as it has always been, we humans are born sinners and only God’s grace can save us from eternal separation from Himself
