The conclusion of this age

In Daniel 2nd Chapter we can read about the king Nebuchadnezzar's
dream and the image he saw. The verses 34 and 35, "Thou sawest till
that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon
his feet that were of iron and clay, and break them to pieces. Then
was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold broken to
pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors;
and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them:
and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and
filled the whole earth."

The verse 44, "And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven
set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom
shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and
consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever."

We are there now. The Lord will set up his kingdom on the earth,
and other kingdoms come to a rapid end. Jesus' coming and the
establishment of the Kingdom of God on this earth is something so
tremendous great and revolutionary. Anything similar has never
happened in the history of the world. This we have now quite
before us. Soon this age comes to conclude. What do the Viewing
people know of that? They sit and look at a censored TV, and mean
that they inform them and move with the times. With entertainment,
playing sport and film the people are lulled into a sense of security.
They dream about, and are planning for a future about which they
know nothing.

People speak very much about peace, but they avoid talking about
the direct cause of the danger of war. Therefore, all peace negotiations
come to failure in the end. The effort to achieve peace comes to
failure because of the fact that the people are not willing to repent
and convert to the Lord.

When God has all power and authority, why cannot God create
peace on the earth? He can do it. Why is he not willing to do it?
He wants to do it. Why then does, he not does it? Due to the
people are unwilling. Jesus came unto his own, and his own
received him not. John 1:10-11. So it is still today. The world
does not believe in God and has left his power out of account.
People will have nothing to do with Jesus and they will not
come to the light because their deeds are evil.

Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name,
he gave the right to become children of God. So it is still today.
Those who receive Jesus as their Saviour get his power to live
in victory over the sin, the devil and the world, for everyone born
of God has overcome the world. This is the victory that overcomes
the world, even our faith. 1 John 5:4-5.

Why does not God put an end of the devil's power and create peace
on the earth? It is just this that God has promised to do. For God
sendt not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the
world through him might be saved. John 3:17. Yet, the world will
not receive the help that God wants to give. The world will not
return to the Lord, but wish too rather serves the devil and believe
in his lies. Therefore, God's word says: Love not the world, neither
the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love
of the Father is not in him. 1 John 2:15. Friendship of the world is
enmity with God. Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world
is the enemy of God. James 4:4.

The world will not humble itself before God and therefore God
must judge the world before he can create peace on the earth. What
now is taking place in the world, and what that comes to happen,
is what the Christians all the times have been longing for. This
age of evil gets an end and this ungodly world gets its Judgement,
and that Jesus comes to restore his kingdom on the earth. Already
now we Christians can live in victory over the sin, the world and
the devil, because Jesus is with us, even unto the end of the world.
Matt. 28:20.

Even if many people try to make disarmament and speak about
peace, yet this age comes to conclude according to God's word.
A short work will the Lord make upon the earth. Rom.9:28.
After that it will be peace on the earth.
