A
Weekly Devotional – Coming Again – Personal Meditation
Comment: We live
in interesting times, it seems to me that evil is surpassing the good that man
can do, and that many of the thoughts of man are currently EVIL. Also, I am
sure that I do not stand alone in this thought! However, there was a day in
history (circa 2300BC) that only God observed this trend of evil, as all of the
thoughts of man were continually EVIL. In Genesis 6:7 the LORD made this
statement. “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth,
both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have
them.” Fortunately, one man on the earth found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
Now my thoughts are why would God also destroy the beasts, birds and all creeping
things? Mankind corrupts everything he comes in contact with. Thus, all of what
God created was as evil as man, for example; domestic pets are better protected
beyond human babies who are aborted (murdered).
Devotional: Without
diving to deeply into the subject of SIN (I will leave that up to your studies)
God will put an end to sin, actually, He already has, see John 1:29. Yet, evil is
‘still at large’, looking into the book of Daniel we read in chapter nine the following
statement of the Angel Gabriel. Seventy weeks are determined for your people
and for your holy city; to finish the transgression, to make and end of sins,
to make reconciliation for iniquity and bring in everlasting righteousness.
Excerpt from verse 24.
Gabriel explains to Daniel how all of this will develop over the remaining
history of time, Messiah will come as the servant sacrifice of God to put an
end to sin, yet evil will continue. If one chooses to read Daniel 9:24-27 they
will see and understand that from 538BC, that the prophesy of Daniel via the conversation
he had with the Angel Gabriel is being fulfilled on time and on schedule. As
evil increases in the heart of mankind, God will (and soon) remove His
protection from the world, as His church and The Holy Spirit will depart. Evil
like no one has ever witnessed will prevail over the following seven years.
Then as God did in Genesis 6, He (Messiah) who is the Lamb of God, will come
again, but then as the KING of kings, sin will be crushed again, but not done
away with just yet.
Messiah will be King over the entire world, He will govern the
world for a millennium (1000 years), but the evil in mankind will still cause
men and women to sin. At the end of this time in history, God (Messiah) will put
an end to ‘the transgression’ (Satan) and make ‘reconciliation for iniquity’(man).
He will also bring in ‘everlasting Righteousness’ (The children of God) this
will be the eternal state of God and His Children created in His Image and
Likeness (Blood Sacrifice). See Revelation 21 and 22.
