Haiti, Middle East, Japan whats happening?

“Watch and be sober.”

First was the earthquake in Haiti, now it is Japan accompanied with the Nuclear leak. The crisis in the Middle East is not yet over, from Tunisia the fire is still spreading as the people in power refuse to give up power. Right here in Kenya the ICC issue and the politics are still very hot, while people in the Northern Kenya are hoping it will rain soon as the animals die and people starve. It is possible to come up with all sorts of reasons why these things are happening including the scientific reasons behind this. But the more I have been following the news the more I think about what the Bible has to say;

• For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. (Matt 24:3-8)

• Perilous times times shall come, Mankind degenerating, Lovers of Pleasure, Peace treaties broken, Outward form of religion, Denying the power of God – (2 Tim 3:1-5).

More events are talked about in Revelation;

• Television, Internet, satellites– an opportunity for all people to witness events simultaneously – (Rev 1:7; 11:9), Weapons of mass destruction – men will slay each other- (Rev 6:4), The Rich getting richer, the poor increasing & getting poorer –(Rev 6:6) ,Death coming through hunger, war & diseases –(Rev 6:8), Military & governments will be prepared with nuclear shelters –(Rev 6:15) , New World Order- (Rev 13:1), Cloning & Genetic engineering – (Rev 13:14 -15) , Cashless monetary system – (Rev 13:16-18) , Ecological & Environmental problems – (Rev 16:3-4) etc.

The Bible reminds us that we are children of the light and we should not be ignorant , but watch and be sober.

“But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.” – (1 Thes 5: 1-6).

Have a watchful day!
