You can find in the Bible that Jehovah is the Sovereign of the universe and how he has conferred all authority to his Son, Jesus Christ - Matthew 28:18
- Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: “All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth. - - - - So, Jesus Christ is ruling as King of God's Kingdom as this prophecy foretold - King James Bible - Isaiah 9:6 - For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. - - - - And Jesus is now overseeing this activity all over the globe - Matthew 28:19 & 20 - 19 Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.” - - - - This good news is being preached right now in 240 lands around the earth. Even though it is not being done face to face since the pandemic started. It is being done by letter writing and phone calls. Since Jesus said that he would be with his followers in this work, until the conclusion of the system of things, neither a pandemic, nor anything else can stop this work from being completed. The good news is also available online in over 1000 languages! We must be getting close to the fulfillment of Jesus' words at the end of Matthew 24:14 where he said, "then the end will come." Another Scripture highlighting how close we are to "the conclusion of this system of things" is here - Psalm 92:7 - When the wicked sprout like weeds And all the wrongdoers flourish, It is that they may be annihilated forever. - - - - Some will say that we've always had the wicked around. That is true, but never like it is today. The wicked and wrongdoers are flourishing more now, all over the globe, than at any other time in mankind's history! So we must be getting close to the fulfillment of this Scripture - Proverbs 2:21 & 22 - 21 For only the upright will reside in the earth, And the blameless will remain in it. 22 As for the wicked, they will be cut off from the earth, And the treacherous will be torn away from it. - - - - That is certainly good news. Because then, these conditions will exist - Psalm 37:10 & 11 - 10 Just a little while longer, and the wicked will be no more; You will look at where they were, And they will not be there. 11 But the meek will possess the earth, And they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace. - - - - What do we need in order to survive "the conclusion of the system of things"? The Scriptures tell us that we need "accurate knowledge" to be saved - 1 Timothy 2:4 – whose (God’s) will is that all sorts of people should be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth. - - - - And Jesus words indicate the same thing about taking in accurate knowledge of God and gaining everlasting life - John 17:3 - This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ. - - - - So taking in accurate knowledge about God, and living by that knowledge, can lead to everlasting life. When the wicked are gone. And God removes all forms of suffering - Revelation 21:4 - And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. - - - - So much good news in the Scriptures. But we have to make sure we take in accurate knowledge. And not to be misled by those that twist the Scriptures - 2 Peter 3:16. . . and these things the ignorant and unstable are twisting, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction. - - - - So, God's word tells us how to make sure we are not misled - Acts 17:11 . . . carefully examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so. - - - - And we can also approach the Hearer of prayer and ask for his help to make sure we are getting the accurate knowledge that He wants us to have - Psalm 65:2 - O Hearer of prayer, to you people of all sorts will come. - - - - Therefore, I urge everyone to visit the following web site where free Bible lessons are offered online.
