Thought For The Day

Lower?

Is it possible for our Nation (individually) to survive judgment from God unless Christ returns for his Bride in the very near future? I suppose it is possible (likely?) that we are under some judgment even as I write this note. Morally our Nation is reaching a depth of depravity that may surpass that of other Nations both now and throughout history. Politically the avarice of those who essentially have become the “ruling class” is immeasurable on the negative side of the equation. So called “Christians” who refuse to support the Kingdom of God as expressed through the Church of Jesus Christ openly and forcefully embrace the very actions, activities, and dangers expressed so clearly in the Scriptures (see the New Testament book of Jude for example).  In 24 verses Jude lays out a picture of history, and the present descent of our beloved Nation into the abyss of abandonment of the very God who gave us life.

As always in Scripture, when there is insight from God regarding the “state of the Nation,” there is a solution (if there is still time) that is clear, appropriate, and redeeming:

20 But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,
21 keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.
22 Be merciful to those who doubt;
23save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.
Then follows (as always) the Worship due our Lord  – vs. 24:
“Now to Him who is able to protect you from stumbling and to make you stand in the presence of His glory, blameless and with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, power, and authority before all time, now and forever. Amen.”
