WHO SAID THE BIBLE IS NOT RELEVANT?

• DESTRUCTION
• VIOLENCE
• LAW HAS BECOME PARALYZED & USELESS
• NO JUSTICE GIVEN IN COURTS
• JUSTICE IS PERVERTED WITH BRIBES & TRICKERY!

Does that look very familiar?

No, it isn't from the latest Newspapers ...

This is from the Bible, God's Word.

When the prophet Habakkuk penned those prophetic words, this is the LORD's reply ... read it carefully and you will see how 100% accurate it is for what is happening in the world today!

"Look at the nations and be amazed!  Watch and be astounded at what I will do!   "I am raising up the Babylonians (Chaldeans) to be a new power on the world scene.  They are a cruel and violent nation who will march across the world and conquer it.  They are notorious for their cruelty.  They do as they like, and no one can stop them.  .... They are a fierce people more fierce than wolves at dusk.  Their horsemen race forward from distant places.   Like eagles they swoop down to pounce on their prey.  On they come, all of them bent on violence.  Their hordes advance like a wind from the desert, sweeping captives ahead of them like sand.  They scoff at kings and princes and scorn all their defenses.  They simply pile ramps of earth against their walls and capture them!   They sweep past like the wind and are gone.  But they are deeply guilty, for their own strength is their god".  (Habakkuk 1:5-11)

This scenario looks VERY familiar indeed!

Understandably Habakkuk was very worried about this and the fate of righteous people under the hand of these evil people.   He highlights the fact that God doesn't allow sin in any form and asks God if He will "stand idly by while they swallow us up?  Should You be silent while the wicked destroy people who are more righteous than they?" (v13)

The LORD provides further information ... "...these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled.  If it seems slow, wait patiently, for it will surely take place.  It will not be delayed" (Habakkuk 2:3)

I believe we are seeing this prophecy being fulfilled at this very time in history!   I am fully convinced what we are seeing happening in our world is part and parcel of this very prophecy.

May I encourage you to read the whole book of Habakkuk - only 3 short chapters and get the full picture of how the LORD will deal with the wicked (in the original and proper sense and meaning of the word) and rescue those who put their trust in Him.
