Why the Modern World?

Since the first advent of Jesus Christ, the world has been living in the age of the church. We call this the modern era in today’s vernacular. Does the modern world have an expiration date? The answer is yes! Some theologians call the time we are living now the post modern era. While that is a term I have heard, the modern age or era will only really end when the church age ends. The bible doesn’t teach that we will know the time when this happens, but it is the time of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Matthew 28:20 “teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. And lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” Amen.

No matter what shape the secular world takes, the modern world will never cease to be until the church is taken off this planet through the rapture. At that point the modern world will be transformed into the system of the anti-Christ. The governments of the world will be united at that point, there will be a one world religion and a one world political leader. After a time of peace, the anti-Christ will unleash his wrath upon the earth, until God starts bringing His Revelation Judgments onto this earth. The wrath of the anti-Christ and the wrath of God upon the world, will bring the swift and final judgment to all of unbelieving humanity by the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ will come from Heaven with all his angels and Saints. We believe the rapture of the church can happen at any moment, there is nothing holding this back. The modern era/world still gives men, women and children time to repent and receive the forgiveness of their sins by God. But when the age or dispensation of the church ends, so will the opportunity to be forgiven end too. This is Mike.

Age of Brokenness.

We are living in an age of brokenness, no matter what age you are, you probably have been touched with relationships falling apart, which causes more and more people to live in isolation. In this generation there is less of an incentive to heal and reconcile relationships, but that doesn’t excuse the amount of people who are broken. Why people don’t seem to be motivated to heal relationships is because our beliefs about faith and God have changed, really giving us less of an incentive to do what our religion says. If I act from my personal beliefs, but the person that I am responding to has abandoned religious beliefs, than the response to my wanting things to be better can be misinterpreted and rejected then by someone else. Generally when a society has expectations about broken relationships, loneliness and isolation, and the beliefs are generally accepted, society becomes a more compassionate society, because all value the same things. When religious values are undermined and ...

The Parable of the Ten Virgins.

Matthew 25:1-13 I have discovered a remarkable interpretation of this parable that I would like to share with you. The story in the Bible goes like this: “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3 The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4 The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5 The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. 6 “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ 7 “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’ 9 “‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy som...

The Existence of God

Since the beginning of time, man has learned about the existence of God. It began in the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve walked and talked with God, however when they sinned, they died spiritually and their closeness with God was severed. In Genesis 4:26 it reads “Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to call on the name of the LORD.” Seth was the third son of Adam and Eve, so it’s fair to say that not too long after mankind fell, we also called upon the Lord. From that time until now, mankind was closer to God then, but it’s a modern shift that the world is in the state it is in now, mainly unbelief, because even 30 years ago from now, mankind was closer to God. It is also true that in ancient Israel’s history, there have been generations that fell away and forgot God, but in the time of the prophets Israel was never left without a word from the Lord. Many generations have come and gone, but there have been remarkable generations all thr...
