I was on my way home after the evening service at Church. I noticed some flashing lights up ahead, so I slowed down. It was not only the Highway Patrol, but it was the Border Patrol and another car, which I think, was Drug Enforcement. They had a car pulled over and a young man standing in front of it, and I think they were about to handcuff him.
As I drove slowly by, I began to realize something. Do we have any idea what our world, our country would be like if there was no law enforcement? If there was no one watching our borders to stop illegal drugs, terrorists? And what about our towns or big cities? There is going to be a day in the future when things in this old world are going to get out of hand.
It will be a day of great revolt against God, (2 Thessalonians 2:3 & 7, 1 Timothy 4:1-3, 2 Timothy 3:1-5). Right now, the Holy Spirit of God holds the forces of evil at bay. But there is coming a time when the Holy Spirit is going to be removed, and they will be free to do much wickedness, (2 Thessalonians 2:3-12). Christians are to be aware of what is going to take place and need to get ready now and stand firm, (2 Thessalonians 2:15).
I guess my question is are we entering that time? See you in Church next Sunday.
