I just watched a 2 hour show on the History channel called The 7 New Signs Of The Apocalypse. It was based on Revelation and showed how natural and man made disasters and events could bring about the final apocalypse of the earth and mankind as described in the Book of Revelation. In the last couple of minutes they talk of hope as the last chapter of Revelation describes a beautiful, healthy, and peaceful new earth. Then they make the statement that somehow mankind can change and reverse the direction of our destruction and create this new earth.

HOW VAIN!

First they go into great detail about how we have no control over natural disasters and how our past, present and foreseeable actions will continue to cause havoc to our environment.

Second they say that our religious, nationalistic and militaristic behaviors will continue to drive us to greater levels of atrocity against ourselves.

They completely leave GOD out of the equation, while quoting scripture they give no credence to GOD as the originator and controller of these events. Nor the fact that in Revelation 22 it is GOD who creates the new heaven and the new earth for redeemed man, not for all mankind.

Their main source of knowledge about the scriptures they quote is a female professor from Princeton who is very familiar with the scriptures but seems to have no personal knowledge of GOD therefore; no understanding of what the scriptures mean and what GOD is telling us.

This is the reason that every believer should be reading the Bible every day! We should be reading as many chapters as we can and not just route reading but praying and thinking about what they are saying to us and what that means to our life and family today!

We cannot expect that even the “experts” will have a personal relationship with GOD and that His Holy Spirit will be enlightening their understanding of His Word and how to apply it to our life. The scripture tells us that we each human being will stand before GOD on that last great day and if our name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life we will not be judged in the great judgment but we will be judged for how we lived our life. Our works will be judged and every word we have spoken will be judged. There will be no excuse we are responsible for living our life in obedience and faith according the Christ’s teachings.
