As a whole, our globe has gone over half a century without a full scale conflict. That's a good thing, right? Tensions have escalated, and there have been times of peace. But now, look at our world. You can turn on the news and literally feel the tension around the world.
We all know of the provocations of the notorious dictator of Korea, Kim Jung
Un, and the two-year long Civil War in Syria, and even the nuclear ambitions of Iran, but even if those were not factors, war would still be inevitable.
How can I be so sure? If I were to ask you what do we need now more than anything else in the world? You might would say good ol' H2O, but you might want to think again. Some call it black gold, or Texas Tea. Yep - Oil. Sure, some scientists say we possibly have some 200 years more of this valuable natural resource, but others say we could possibly only have about 40 more years left. I personally believe in the ladder, based on constant rates of consumption.
Governments know this. In the next few years, you will see governments race toward oil wells, and when the wells run dry, and one country has more than another, there will be war.
So aside from the fact that North Korea wants to be the death of America, and that Iran wants to see Israel destroyed, and that Russia will stand by the rogue nation, Syria in any event, the world is edging closer and closer to a global confrontation. If not for religious, or political reasons, then for oil. Oil has turned our hearts as black as itself.
The Bible foretells this, you know?
Revelation 6:3
"And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. 4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword"
Global war is coming. We as humans can't go long without finding some sort of conflict, and the next one, will likely be global. Nuclear. The end of life as we know it.
I do not write to spread fear, but rather, hope. Salvation is yours today, if you will simply accept the fact that you are a sinner. The Bible says we all have sinned, and we all fall short of God's glory. And the penalty of our sin is death, but God sent the thing He cherished most, His own son, to die for your sins, in your place, so that you can be reconciled to God. God loves you that much. Just believe that Jesus is the son of God, and that God raised Him from the dead. He loves you, don't let your pride get in the way of your relationship with almighty God. God Bless.
