Folks are predicting golden days and restful nights. That is passionate expectation. The Bible does not predict this golden future, though arguably none of us know truly when things are going to occur. What we do have is faith as God has told us things would happen and over numerous thousands of years they have occurred as prophetically described.

Yes, my heart wants the hunkie dorey story of our own telling to be true and last forever, but that is fragile thinking. Why, we have never seen a time in history that was safe and secure for the innocent and vulnerable. Certainly we have see survival of the fittest played out for centuries, but never the peaceful utopian dream that is painted on the inside and hallways of gray matter throughout Man’s thinkers.

Having been said those who will fair the fullest are those who have established a close relationship with God. As already admitted we don’t know the timing of God’s predicted and predictable events but what we do know, confirmed by the Lord Jesus, that we would know the season. The dilemma for those preaching or evangelizing is that people appear to be going out of their way to deny, avoid or ignore the clear Biblical Signs of Season in our modern circumstance.

Not that we wish to live according to circumstance or use it for evidence of faith, but a series of events that precisely match Biblical Prophecy happening in rapid succession are clearly not simply coincidence. This may not be viewed through the lens of fear but the obverse the lens of good courage and readiness as these circumstances indicate the soon return of God and His coming wrath upon all wickedness.

What do we want, well we desperately want things to be returned to Godly order? For chaos and war to end and a steady rule and reign by the only Righteous King, the Lord of Lords, Jesus. However, being rational about the warnings and practical of the discernment we know that this world is going to get truly shifty and dangerous before Christ comes. We have been promised Troubles but we have equally been given promise to overcome and the Power of the indwelling Spirit of God’s Word from which this enemy flees.

So yes there are golden days coming but not because some man or men are going to bring them, because they don’t truly want peace, at least not the True Peace only available through Christ Jesus. Yes, there will be an end to darkness, poverty and wickedness, but it comes as a successions of tests and trial over which we may endure. That’s how victory works you have to confronted with situations that are impossible in order to be supernaturally delivered from those trials by Faith in God.

It is coming of that we are certain. It is coming at the end of whatever God must bring us for all men to have the opportunity to be saved. If that is not my will then mine must be adjusted because that is how much God loves them. From a Marine Corps perspective, that is reflected in no man left behind. I love them, I may not approve of what they are doing but that matters very little as God changed a wretch like me. In Jesus’ Holy name.
