I saw Heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice He judges and wages war. Revelation 19:11
When I was in high school we had five minutes to move from one period to the next, but there was a real problem with tardies. Our administration decided to implement a one minute warning buzzer to make students aware of time elapsing and become better stewards with the outcome of fewer tardies.
I find that many people look to Revelation in the same manner they depended on the four minute warning to keep them out of delinquency trouble. They just want to know how much longer they have personal control before they must give up and let God be God.
Every age has its evil, the spirit that treats life as a commodity to be exploited, cheated, bought and sold at will in exchange for power, greed and self-love, but this verse is the promise of God’s final act upon this earth’s abscesses. Even today God is a work with perfect justice and He will bring down those who continually exact their self absorbed behavior on others and refuse to acknowledge Him as Lord and King.
We that already know God for who He is need to continue our Worship and Praise for that is our testimony before others that so badly need His touch.
Love,
Gretchen
