Who Humbles Himself To Regard The Heavens And The Earth

Many people around the world were fearfully anticipating

the possible end of the world today...and this

number included many professed believers in the

Lord Jesus Christ.

For the answer as to why life on earth as we know it

failed to expire this Saturday, we need to look to the Scriptures

and to the words of Jesus Himself who told us:

"And this good news of the Gospel will be preached

throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations,

and then the end will come."

Matthew 24:14

Although communication in our 21st century world

 has been greatly enhanced by advances in technology,

and in the teaching of the Word, there are places in this world

 where the good news of the Gospel 
has yet to be preached to people.

And I am not just talking about remote mountain villages

in central Asia or in the jungles of the Amazon.

There are many people in the United States of America

today who have never heard the message of the Gospel,

nor do they know what Jesus accomplished for them on the cross.

  I have witnessed many people suffering greatly 

from a spiritual famine across this great land of plenty.

Many of these same people are looking for answers

to the questions they have about life and the future and

many have fallen prey to the false and unscriptural

teachings of pseudo Internet prophets whose

most recent folly in leading the lost further astray was

convincing many that the world was going to end

in some sort of cataclysmic nightmare this weekend.

Here's the 411 folks.  Only God knows when

this world is going to come to an end.

And although believers in the Lord Jesus Christ should

live in a state of preparation for His imminent return,  no

one, not the angels in heaven, nor even Jesus Himself

knows that day or the hour of His coming.

Only the Father knows.

"Sky and earth will pass away, but My

words will not pass away.

But of that exact day and hour,

no one knows, not even the angels of

heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."

Matthew 24:35-36

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in

and rely on God; believe in and rely also on Me."

John 14:1

Praise Adonai!

Praise the Lord!  Hallelujah!

Praise, O servants of the Lord,

praise the name of the Lord!

Blessed be the name of the Lord from

this time forth and forever.

From the rising of the sun to the going

down of it and from east to west, the name

of the Lord is to be praised!

The Lord is high above all nations,

and His glory above the heavens!

Who is like our God, 

Who has His seat on high,

Who humbles Himself to regard

the heavens and the earth!

The Lord raises the poor out of

the dust and lifts the needy from the

ash heap and the dung hill.

That He may seat them with princes,

even with the princes of His people.

He makes the barren woman to be

a homemaker and a joyful mother

of spiritual children.

Praise the Lord!

Hallelujah!
