Finally after 6000 years we are going to abolish evil by chasing
it down all over the world. From the Garden of Eden where evil first appeared
on earth through the devil the serpent. Prior to that, there was war in heaven
and the devil with his angels were cast out into the
atmosphere and on the earth. The Devil
and all 'evil' are about to be cast out again from the earth at the coming of
the Lord. However, now we are viewed as
the most powerful nation on earth and also perceived by the Arab Moslem world
as the great evil infidels of the world, have taken it upon ourselves to kill
evil by war and cleanse the world of all evil immediately. That would be great if it could be done. Man has had big trouble all of these
millenniums to accomplish such cause.
But then what is evil? Barry
Goldwater stated in his older days, not while campaigning, that the Christian
Right was the most evil thing on earth. Hitler perceived the Jews as evil and
proceeded to exterminate them from the earth. The most immediate evil is the
killing of unborn babies under a protected term of abortion. Are we really
prepared to do away with all evil and stop every ounce of evil in our
lives? I would say that we are not ready
to give up evil because we are so much in love with evil. We could start with
Mathew 7-3 "And why beholdeth ye the mote that is in my brother's eye, but considereth not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4-Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold a beam is in thine own eye? 5-Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then thou shalt see clearly to cast out the mote out of my brother's eye". Help us to see our faults Lord and even our everyday sin.
How can we with so much blood on our own hands criticize any other nation for blood?
The Bible calls it being a hypocrite when one finds fault in others without looking at self.
"Judge not that ye should be not judged". We do not really know the meaning of evil.
The one that calls others evil is evil himself. Even
The tree is shaking, it is upside-down anyway and the monkeys are about to fall out.
All things will be revealed, all secrets will be shouted from the housetops according to the
Scripture. Let us mend our ways and understand the difference between good and evil.
I have a painting I have mentioned before showing the war between good and evil with evil winning out. Evil is certainly winning for now but not for long. The trumpet of God is about to sound and as quick as lightning evil will be no more neither here nor over there.
