The WORLD today

 1 Peter 5:2-3

King James Version

2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, 

taking the oversight thereof, 

not by constraint, but willingly; 

not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;

3 Neither as being lords over God's heritage, 

but being examples to the flock.


We look to the world today, and know Scripture is being fulfilled.

There is no sterling example of a person, or a nation, to look up to.

All have gone their way, made their own rules, defying the LAWS of GOD.

As born again, I grieve at my heart.

And yet, I know all is going according to GOD's plan.


All I can pray for is that people wake up to the TRUTH of CHRIST.

That they finally believe in Him.

Become aware of their sins.

And repent of it.

And LOVE GOD, above all.


I pray the forgotten ones be remembered, saved, and freed.

There are so many people in the world suffering.

From abuse, poverty, oppression, slavery, and wars.

Many don't make it to the news.

Or if the news covers it, they do so for propagandists.

All have promoted their own personal agendas.

And with a digitalized world, we've got tons of platforms to do so.


Satan's painted the town red.

With the blood of saints.

With the blood of the young.

With the blood of the poor.

Do you think GOD will allow that for long?

I wait for a particular day.

Known ONLY to the LORD.

The most intriguing verse of all.

Which signifies when GOD will act.

Alerting both Jew, and Gentile:

Romans 11:25

King James Version

25 For I would not, brethren, 

that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, 

lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; 

that blindness in part is happened to Israel, 

until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.


From which moment the Jews will finally honor the LORD JESUS:

Matthew 23:39

King James Version

39 For I say unto you, 

Ye shall not see me henceforth, 

till ye shall say, 

Blessed is he that cometh 

in the name of the Lord.


As I wait, I pray for the comfort, and safety, of all oppressed.

May everyone have a family to go home to. 

A roof over their head.

Clothes on their back.

Food on the table.

A good night's sleep.

FREE of fear, and war.

FREE of chaos, and confusion.

FREE of deceit, and destruction.

FREE of hate, and horror.

FREE of sin, and suffering.


Oh, how I long for such a world for everyone!

It will come.

It will come.

SPIRIT assured me:

Revelation 21:1-7

King James Version

21 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: 

for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; 

and there was no more sea.

2 And I John saw the holy city, 

new Jerusalem, 

coming down from God out of heaven, 

prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, 

Behold, 

the tabernacle of God is with men, 

and he will dwell with them, 

and they shall be his people, 

and God himself shall be with them, 

and be their God.

4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; 

and there shall be no more death, 

neither sorrow, 

nor crying, 

neither shall there be any more pain: 

for the former things are passed away.

5 And he that sat upon the throne said, 

Behold, 

I make all things new. 

And he said unto me, 

Write: 

for these words are true and faithful.

6 And he said unto me, 

It is done. 

I am Alpha and Omega, 

the beginning and the end. 

I will give unto him that is athirst 

of the fountain of the water of life freely.

7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; 

and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.


GOD hears every person's cry.

Psalm 34:15-20

King James Version

15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, 

and his ears are open unto their cry.

16 The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, 

to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

17 The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, 

and delivereth them out of all their troubles.

18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; 

and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: 

but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.

20 He keepeth all his bones: 

not one of them is broken.


The world has gone to the "dogs".

All because it belonged to a "dog".

Witness how he boasted to JESUS:

Matthew 4:8-11

King James Version

8 Again, the devil taketh him up 

into an exceeding high mountain, 

and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, 

and the glory of them;

9 And saith unto him, 

All these things will I give thee, 

if thou wilt fall down and worship me.


It just follows we cannot expect anything good from the world.

Romans 3:23

King James Version

23 For all have sinned, 

and come short of the glory of God;


1 John 5:19 

King James Version

19 And we know that we are of God, 

and the whole world 

lieth in wickedness.


These verses accurately describe the world we have today:

Romans 3:9-18

King James Version

9 What then? 

are we better than they? 

No, in no wise: 

for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, 

that they are all under sin;

10 As it is written, 

There is none righteous, no, not one:

11 There is none that understandeth, 

there is none that seeketh after God.

12 They are all gone out of the way, 

they are together become unprofitable; 

there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; 

with their tongues they have used deceit; 

the poison of asps is under their lips:

14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:

16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:

17 And the way of peace have they not known:

18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.


Men, before you think of your next million, think on the poor.

Women, before you think of your next get up, think on those suffering.

Children, look to GOD always.


For this was prophesied:

Jeremiah 31:31-34

King James Version

31 Behold, 

the days come, 

saith the Lord, 

that I will make a new covenant 

with the house of Israel, 

and with the house of Judah:

32 Not according to the covenant that I made 

with their fathers in the day 

that I took them by the hand 

to bring them out of the land of Egypt; 

which my covenant they brake, 

although I was an husband unto them, 

saith the Lord:

33 But this shall be the covenant 

that I will make with the house of Israel; 

After those days, saith the Lord, 

I will put my law in their inward parts, 

and write it in their hearts; 

and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, 

and every man his brother, saying, 

Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, 

from the least of them unto the greatest of them, 

saith the Lord: 

for I will forgive their iniquity, 

and I will remember their sin no more.


And has come:

Hebrews 10:16-26

King James Version

16 This is the covenant that I will make 

with them after those days, 

saith the Lord, 

I will put my laws into their hearts, 

and in their minds will I write them;

17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

18 Now where remission of these is, 

there is no more offering for sin.

19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness 

to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,

20 By a new and living way, 

which he hath consecrated for us, 

through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

21 And having an high priest over the house of God;

22 Let us draw near with a true heart 

in full assurance of faith, 

having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, 

and our bodies washed with pure water.

23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith 

without wavering; 

(for he is faithful that promised;)

24 And let us consider one another 

to provoke unto love and to good works:

25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, 

as the manner of some is; 

but exhorting one another: 

and so much the more, 

as ye see the day approaching.

26 For if we sin wilfully 

after that we have received 

the knowledge of the truth, 

there remaineth no more 

sacrifice for sins,


There is hope.

If JESUS is your hope.

Is JESUS your hope?


There is peace.

If JESUS is your peace.

He is THAT PEACE.
