THE BALANCE GOD PROVIDED TO SAVE HIS CHILDREN

“Declaring the end from the beginning…” Isa.46:10

     Before the creation of stars, angels and men, the Omniscient Father knew His eternal gift of freewill to both angels and men would be abused. First with Lucifer; and then to be followed by our Premier father and mother, Adam and Eve. Fully knowing the holocaust that was to come to the once tranquil life, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, consolidated a plan of salvation to meet the crisis caused by sin: which is the transgression of GOD’S Moral Law.

     To meet the threat of sin that was to infect the Earth, GOD had to coordinate the most intricate balance between man and nature to provide every possible chance for our salvation—all within the framework of GOD’S Moral law. He had to provide every creature with a tenacity that could meet the many threats they were to face in their survival; the gift of life’s ability to heal itself when hurt or wounded. He had to provide songbirds to gladden the heart of man when his heart is low. Fragrant flowers and trees of every kind to mark the land with sufficient diversity to brighten our joy with their broad variety of appearances and aromas. And all was to be set in breathtaking landscapes to enrapture the eyes and to draw a sense of wonder for the majesty of it all.

     Above it all, An avenue to tug on our affections had to be in place, accompanied with a conscience that man might know right from wrong: a desire for justice, mercy and love for every creature. In all of this was added just enough toil in the life to lead people to hear of His promise through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ to deliver every man, woman and child from the fears and threats that sin would bring.

     Had man maintained a harmony with the laws of life first endowed by GOD, the great flood of Noah’s day would never have taken place, wars, murder and slavery would never have become a dominant form of government, and drought and famine would have never been experienced by any nation.

     But the Bible’s history and its prophecies instruct us as to every lesson about man’s antagonism to all that is “holy, and just, and good” (Rom.7:12). And because of this deplorable history and the forecast for our future, the people of Earth are on the verge of entering a phase of struggle that none have ever experienced (Dan.21:1). This is because of sinful, unrepentant men who lust for the power to rule the Earth. Control the money, and you control the destiny of men. And in their agenda, there is no room for virtuous people. There is no room for those viewed to be inferior themselves. And there is no room for the counsel of the Saviour, Jesus Christ who forbids the injustices planned for this generation.

     But the Bible believing Christians only fears GOD, not man (Matt.10:28). And so, when this Satan worshiping ‘Old World Order’ takes the throne (being pawned off today as “New World Order”), every man will be called to join them in their united front against GOD, His Law, and the very salvation of Jesus Christ. And those who refuse to join in their sinful agenda will receive “the mark of the beast.”

     It has always been about sin and it will always be about sin. That’s why Jesus came—to deliver His faithful children from the clutches of sin and at the resurrection and translation of the living carry them home to His Father’s House in Heaven (Jn.14:2,3). And when Jesus comes to deliver those who will be threatened with the death decree (Rev.13:15) those who in sinful belligerence and cowardice turned their backs on heavenly virtue will reap just what they had sown. They united with those whose sole intention is to destroy the commandment-keeping Christians. But that destruction will return upon their own heads (Eze.11:21; Jer.5:3). This is precisely the reason for “the seven plagues:” to reciprocate the wrath of GOD upon those who set out to murder His chosen and faithful children.

     The lesson from the early church gives counsel to those who think they are at liberty to crush the remnant within the church: “they that keep the commandments of GOD and the faith of Jesus.” Rev.14:12. “Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space; And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men. For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought. After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed. And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.” Acts 5:34-39.
