(christperfect;56936)
Having had the prophecy told to us by Paul in 2Timothy 3:1-10; “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was”, all truly fulfilled, what can the present true Christians possibly do to save the world?Should we, being in the presence of Our Father, just sit and wait on him, doing his good will for all true Christians and leaving the world to their fate?Dear, what can possibly be done to help all?
christperfect, Just before Jesus went back to heaven he gave orders to his desciples, explaining to them what he wanted them, and us, to do for the world of unbelieving mankind, Matt 28:19,20, tells us to go forth and preach and baptize all who turn to God. Paul said the same thing, 2Tim 4:2. In what is called the Olivet Sermon Jesus indicated that the preaching work would be in full bloom, in the time just before the end of this system. Notice that Jesus said that the Good News of the KIngdom would be preached to all the nations and then the end would come, Matt 24:14. When Daniel gave his longrange prophecy about the march of the nations, he said that during the tem Kings the God of heaven would CRUSH and put and end to all these nations and the Kingdom would stand to time indefinite. God is indicating that the nations of the earth will not be converted, but they will be CRUSHED. Interestingly these ten Kings mentioned here in Dan 2:42-44, the TOES,are the same as the ten Kings mentioned at Rev 17:12. All these scriptures show that the world will not be converted but is to be destroyed. The reason for the destruction is because the world is ruled by Satan, 2Cor 4:3,4, Rev 12:9, 1John 5:19, John 12:31, 14:30, 16:11, Luke 4:5-8. Just before Jesus died, he said that his Kingdom was NO PART of this world, John 18:36,37. Jesus said that all his disciples were no part of the world, John 15:18-20, 17:16. We are also warned about being a friend of the world. If you are a friend of the world you are an enemy of God, James 4:4, 1John 2"15-17.
