And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow into it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths:...And he shall judge among the nations...and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, and neither shall they learn war any more.” Read Isaiah 2:1-4 We hear talk of a “brave new world” that men plan to fashion. There will be a “new world” in God’s time but not of men’s design. Europe is nearly united in becoming a completely secular society; A network from, mostly Near Eastern countries, are teaching, practicing and exporting murder and mayhem and in our own country the judicial system is becoming more and more anti-God judging from the decisions that are being made. That is not the kind of world that God has in mind as described by Isaiah! Most countries are busily beating their plowshares into swords and their pruning hooks into spears. The kind of world that men are developing now only leads to an Armageddon. The world is not changing for the better but people can! The choice is simple! Calvary or Armageddon! Accept Calvary and escape Armageddon or reject Calvary and, if you live that long, experience Armageddon. Calvary was God’s plan; Armageddon is the result of men’s planning! Men’s plans are not brave, they are foolhardy and will self-destruct. It is already decided. “The wicked shall be turned into hell and all the nations that forget God.” (Psalm 9:17 ) Developing a better world is a good thought but crowding God out of the planning is not the way to accomplish it. I think that the present world is locked in on a downward course but there are many people in the world that can be changed. Jesus is still in the life changing business and when He changes a life the direction of travel changes also. It is a matter of individual choice. - Pastor Bill Cummins
