God's Judgment Of The Nations #3 of 4

April 8, 2008
When you hear about all the sins for which God judges nations, you get the uncomfortable feeling that your nation might be next. Unprincipled expansion, arrogance and violence are sins one, two and three. America's guilt may be better described by sins four and five...indifference to God and the acceptance of witchcraft. Today: a hard look at the real prospect of God's judging hand in our day.

The Eclipse Of God
Just as the moon obscures the sun’s light during an eclipse, today’s radical secularism has obscured the light of God. But God’s light still shines—and He is calling us to shine His light in our growing darkness. Is God more tolerant than He used to be? Pastor Lutzer shows how God is both a God of wrath as well as grace; that He is both merciful and just, and both a redeemer and a judge. Deepen your love for our unchangeable God of the Bible and be empowered to proclaim the light of truth in a culture of darkness.

The Bible is a guidebook for living. In its pages we find what God wants each of us to do, and what He says not to do. The same holds true for nations. The Scriptures list at least seven sins for which God promises to hold nations accountable...sins that grow out of their leaders' desires for power and control. Today: the list grows longer.

Sometimes it seems that the bad guys keep winning. Terrorism and mayhem are everywhere. Some ask, "Is God still in control?" We need to understand that justice delayed is not justice denied. There will be a day of reckoning for both men and nations. Today: a look at how God judges the nations that violate His commands.

We have all seen bomb-laden terrorists waving their guns and shouting "death to America" on TV. How should we respond? Some cower in fear. Others brandish bigger weapons. But believers can have confidence that God is in charge even if another 9/11 happens. Defend the nation? You bet. Give in to fear? Not on your life.

Some realities do not fit in finite minds. Men do what they choose. Yet God directs those choices to suit His purposes. As we wrestle with the mystery of God's hidden will, we must acknowledge His sovereign control of history. Sometimes He uses the bad guys to judge the good guys. Our task: to trust His purposes to be right - no matter what.

Some people think that random chance dictates what happens on planet earth. Either God is not involved, or He is not interested. Believers running the race of life have a different perspective. That is because the Bible reveals God as more than just interested in the human condition. He is the One Who actively determines the fates of nations. Today: a look at how God superintends what we call history.

Years ago, Alex Haley's "Roots" helped us understand the origins of the slave trade. And origins are important. That is why God recorded the beginnings of human history in the book of Genesis. Here we find out where we came from as members of the nations of the world. Today: a wrap-up on how everybody can trace their roots back to the sons of Noah.

There are literally thousands of languages spoken here on planet earth. Have you ever stopped to ask yourself where they all came from? At the very beginning, God saw to it that people would be divided into many geographical and ethnic groups. And a real quick way of doing this was to supernaturally cause people to need lots of translators.

Hundreds of nations...billions of people. The earth of 2008 is a seething cauldron of unrest, warfare and change. As things seem to be slipping out of control, we must remember that the God who created the nations is not asleep at the switch. He is moving the nations into position for the climax of this present age. Today we begin a series that outlines some of His purposes.

When you visit Israel, it is possible to stand on the very mount from which Jesus Christ ascended to His father in heaven. Prophecies foretell His return to that very Mount of Olives one day to set up His kingdom...a kingdom whose capital will be Jerusalem. Meanwhile, those who believe in Him are charged to take the gospel to the ends of the earth. Today: how Jesus is ruling in heaven even now.

For some 40 days the resurrected Jesus walked the roads of Israel, having fellowship with His beloved disciples. But then the time came for Him to make a journey into the sky. Angels were in attendance as Jesus rose into the air until the clouds took Him out of His companions' sight. Today: more about what it means for Jesus to be with His Father in heaven.
