All The Proof in The World :: By Dave Hubley

I have included a special message at the end of this article for those who have reached the point where the burden of evidence that the world is spinning out of control is overwhelming. I hope you will read and take to heart what God requires in order to give His free gift of eternal life as He has declared is His will for all who trust in Him.

We humans have a number of phrases that we like to use when we do not want to face up to what we perceive as unpleasant news or any circumstances that we do not want to acknowledge but we know are looming because we can see them looming. They are now visible not just beyond the horizon but on the horizon. The near horizon.

It is called “being in denial” or, “If I ignore it, maybe it will go away.”

Often, we ignore things until they become a crisis and we are forced to suffer the consequences instead of being proactive and avoiding the resulting trauma.

Depending on what it is, it can sometimes prove to be terminal. These are the conditions in the world under which we live every day.

Sometimes, especially as is happening presently, it is something more disquieting. Not something that is easily identified but more like something that is sensed in the heart.

But now, there is something additional that is influencing our thoughts and minds.

This present time is not a just a physical phenomenon, but it is a spiritual manifestation, and it is resulting in physical and spiritual collapse across society as a whole.

It is manifesting itself in that we see people behaving in a way that can’t be understood in terms we once considered normal. Even the normal terms for “abnormal” fail to adequately define it. We are unable to comfortably explain them away. We can no longer just say, “people have always been like this” as though what is happening now is only a temporary and limited condition by a relative few as was common in the past.

It is a manifestation of evil.

It has become the “new normal” but with an additional twist. It gets measurably worse every day. We can’t bury our heads in the sand deep enough to escape it.

Some might say that it’s only because information travels so fast now that we become aware of these things much more often. But that is not sufficient to explain the “nature” of the behavior or its frequency and level of derangement.

Worse still is the cold-blooded reaction by so many people when they see violence occur right in front of their own eyes. Now, the reaction so often is not horror, but to pull out a stupid smart-phone and record it as it happens. People gather around and watch someone being stabbed or beaten to death. Instead of calling 911, they make a movie.

The Word of God describes this condition very accurately:

“And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold” (Matthew 24:12).

“What’s wrong with people?” we hear so often. There is an answer, but it requires eyes to see, ears to hear, and a heart that will yield to the truth.

Now to the crux of this article.

Why all this ”Doom and Gloom”?

The answer is found in the Bible. It reveals prophetic reality. This is not a temporary period of unrest or some sort of “things will settle down and get back to normal” thing.

This is the progression of digression which God has warned would be the state of the world in the “last days” (see 2 Timothy 3:1-5). The proof of God’s Word is perfect, and His prophetic warnings are now coming into full view and in living color.

Because far too many people in this world are a living fulfillment of (Psalms 14:1 and 53:1). “The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God’”

“For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking and darkened in their foolish hearts. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images of mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles” (Romans 1:21-23). Emphasis added.

As a result of this willful and intentional disobedience, God has begun a process of judgment that is inexorable as He has warned would happen for millennia:

“The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness. For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse” (Romans 1:18-20).

How many people will respond to this empirical proof? How many will seek answers from the only source where they can be found?

How many will turn to God instead of a foundering and failing infrastructure that is called “law and order” but bears little resemblance to either one and that is comprised of far too many who are charged with administering it but are themselves blatant and unrepentant lawbreakers. Criminals and their enablers abound.

God has indicated that people who do not have the discernment and understanding that are His gift to those who have eyes to see and ears to hear what He has proclaimed in His written word are spiritually blind.

“But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (1 Corinthians 2:14).

“Put no more trust in man, who has only the breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?” (Isaiah 2:22).

In the above two verses, God offers the answer. Repent and live: Put your trust where it will save your life.

For those who will repent and receive Jesus as Lord and Savior, the necessity of God’s judgment becomes understandable, and while it saddens even those who have His promise of eternal life, Jesus promises it will be turned to joy – something mankind has promised to do but has proven it can never do.

“Most assuredly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy” (John 16:20). Emphasis added

God’s prophecies, once future but now history, are empirical proof that the balance of them will also be fulfilled in minute detail. (See the Book of Revelation.)

The “doom and gloom” of God’s Word has a blessed purpose. It is there to remind people that His judgment of sin must be executed, but He has provided a way to “purpose and hope” in its place. Please see the (Special message) below to understand His Way to Salvation that is available to all.

I pray that you will receive Jesus as your personal Savior while we are still in the time of His Grace and Mercy.

The special message I promised you:

For anyone who may read this article and has not trusted in Jesus Christ and therefore has no real hope or peace in your life.

You can have hope. You can have the peace that Jesus has promised to all who have made Him their Lord and Savior. The peace that passes understanding.

It requires that you come before God on His terms and that you do so in your living years.

And what are His terms according to His Word?

• Genuine repentance (turning to God instead of continuing to reject or ignore Him).
• Confession of sins (that you are a sinner and acknowledge that to God).
• That you understand that the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23).
• To acknowledge to God that you are unable to pay that debt.
• Belief that Jesus Christ paid your death sentence for you on the cross and rose from the grave three days later, conquering death, just as He promised.
• To believe that Jesus is the Way, the only Way, that God has established by which humans may be saved from the consequences of their sin and rebellion.

God has made it absolutely clear that there is no one who comes before Him, under His terms, that will be refused.

• No one: no race, no color, no country of origin, regardless of any previous belief system: no one.
• No matter what your past sins have been, God can and WILL forgive you because He says He will.
• Salvation is available to everyone without any exceptions.

If you put all your trust for salvation in Jesus, and Him only, you can follow that prayer up by simply saying, “Thank you, Father God, for hearing my prayer and saving me,” because we can trust Him to keep His Word. He always has. He always will.

“Truly, Truly, I say to you that he who hears My words and believes the One who sent Me has eternal life and will not be condemned. He has crossed from death to life” (John 5:24).

There are no answers and there is no hope in the world by governments, organizations, politics or politicians. There are only lies and deception. But you can have the Truth and the peace you seek.

The answers are in the Word of God—The Bible. If you ask God, with all your heart, He will hear you.

“And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13).
