I began to wonder the other day as I pondered on all the articles of the economic collapse that is soon to come upon us and the world. The secular writers carry on about how bad it is going to be, and from their point of view it would be. Facing this collapse without God must be a fearful thing but for the remnant of Israel it is not so bad.
First off, we will be protected by God during this time, just as He protected Israel while the plagues were hitting Egypt. Sure we will be in the midst of it and that will be bad enough but we are not concerned about our physical wealth and welfare but rather we are concerned with spiritual things. The fall of the dollar is of little significance to us. In fact it could actually be a good thing as far as that goes.
I mean getting rid of the dollar also means getting rid of the evil that is attached to it. It means getting rid of the money grubbing idiots that have greedily destroyed any virtue that we once had as a nation. It means being rid of the society as we have it today where most people walk around staring into little electronic boxes playing games and reading text messages.
Yes, it is a terrible world we have constructed. I for one will be glad to be shed of it and the sooner the better. Until then you can still respond to the Gospel message of hope and salvation for your soul. There is still a little time left before it all goes completely bad.
But just as fruit goes through stages, so will our country and the world. Consider, as a tomatoes ripens it is good to eat, soon however it begins to decay. At first it is still good to eat, just cut off the small bad section and it is fine. Later however, it isn't so easy.
Soon the tomato is just plain rotten and fit for nothing but the compost pile. At this point if you leave it laying around it attracts all sort of bugs and flies. It begins to stink up your house and even gets so bad that you can't bring yourself to even touch it in order to throw it away, you actually have to scape it off the plate with a knife into the compost pile.
Such is the state of our country, yes in fact the entire world. It is a giant rotten tomato and it must continue through the same cycle as the tomato does. There is no stopping it. You can no more stop it than you can prevent a tomato from also going bad. The only hope would have been to turn back to the Lord and only He is able to preserve, but that was not to be.
Fortunately for Christians, we understand that a new day is soon coming. A one thousand year period where we will reign and rule with Christ. He will rule with a rod of iron and things will be set back as they were intended. While spiritually we are with Him there now (for in eternity there is no beginning or ending) but physically we are still staring at the problem of getting this giant rotten tomato into the compost pile without getting it all over us.
My advice is to stop trying, set your eyes upon Him. He will clean all this mess up soon enough, study the Word, prepare yourself to have an answer for any man who asks you of the hope that is within you. Pray and follow Jesus with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding.
Blessings to the Remnant of Israel.
