There are people out there saying that they do not believe in superstition and they do not believe that the world is coming to an end. Well, I also do not believe in superstition and I also do not believe the world is coming to an end. Let’s talk about this for a moment.
The definition for Superstition; a belief or notion, not based on reason or knowledge, in or of the ominous significance of a particular thing, circumstance, occurrence, proceeding, or the like. Irrational
fear of what is unknown or mysterious, especially in connection with beliefs. Any blindly accepted belief or notion.
End of the World; I also want to mention the End of the World here. This globe that we know as earth is not coming to an end. Nowhere in the bible does it say that this planet that we call earth is coming to an end. Actually, John states in Revelation 21:2 “I saw a new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.” This tells me that the earth as we know it will be dressed for success.
Regarding both Superstition, and the End of the World. The bible has been proven over and over that the men and women who put it together were truly God inspired. I do not look at the events in the bible as superstition because, I know of the events, they are written down, I do not fear, and I also trust that God is in complete control. The bible has been proven through science and over time contradicting the scientists themselves. Those scientists that do not believe in God continue to fight against him (the Truth) and do their best to prove the logical reasoning incorrect. What you have to come to realize is that the old once archangel Lucifer is still yet trying to defy God and overrule him, he is dishonest to himself, he knows the truth. He is working in the spirit world to convince us, God’s children, that all the principles and facts written in the bible are false. He wants us to believe the bible is just a book written by men, and the beliefs of those men are mysterious, a notion, circumstances of time long passed.
As the last ten years have rolled by and storms, disasters, and earth quakes seem to be intensifying it concurs with me that the bible is even more true than it ever was before. The bible continues to produce the truth over, and over again.
Let’s look at Mark 13: 8, For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows. (King James Bible (Cambridge Edition)
Greek translation of Troubles: A state of distress, affliction, difficulty, or need.
The original Greek word translated troubles is tarache, defined by Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible as “disturbance, that is, (of water) roiling, or (of a mob) sedition.”
Note the reference to “roiling” water—an apt description of hurricanes, tsunamis, flooding, violent thunderstorms—and now, Hurricane Sandy.
Nobody of good character and nature truly likes to paint gloom and doom. My friends, let’s get real and see the truth; there are going to be more calamities, more wars, famines, more earthquakes in various places. If you do not believe this then you do not believe God, or what he has written down for us. However, remember this, or be forewarned in the bible (God’s Word). There are going to be more calamities, and they are going to intensify.
What can you do? First, if you have not, accept Jesus Christ as your savior and King. The bible (God’s word) states in John 14:6; Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (International Standard Version (2008).
Second, start to fellowship with other like believers. Change your ways. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you other gods that you may have before the one and true God. What are other Gods? Anything in your life, that takes you away from Jesus Christ. If you do not come to realize that things you once found to be of value, they really mean nothing without Christ, then you will continue to be lost.
Third, start to pray for those around you. Your immediate family, your extended family, your friends and loved ones. Pray that the Holy Spirit will dwell in them and replace their spirit with his. Pray that the words, comments, and gestures about God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit start to penetrate those around you that seem to be blind or lost. Pray that those around you will find you acceptable and your words of value.
Lastly, when you’re feeling alone, scared, isolated, threatened, and sorrowful, start to praise God, praise Jesus. My best times are when I am in a quiet place, on my knees, humbled before God, acknowledging that he is the one and only true God and praising him.
God will make himself real to you. He does it through people, advertisements, through web pages, and he can even do it in person if need be. He loves you and me that much. Actually, God loves us so much that he gave his only begotten son that we will not have to die as long as we openly and faithfully accept him.
I’m still watching and waiting, are you? The time is short, why not invest into eternity?
