OVERVIEW
We live in a fallen, damaged world and so its evils, horrors, injustices loom large in our minds. Thus I desire to emphasise what God is doing in our times.
Now we know that the Godhead is - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. They are all equal, in unity and of one mind. However when functioning there is an order.
The Father - Initiates.
The Son - Administers.
The Holy Spirit - energises.
In Psalm 110, our key verse, we read of the Father initiating.
`The LORD (the Father) said to my Lord, (the Son), “Sit at my right hand till I make your enemies your footstool!.” (Ps. 110: 1)
Thus the Father is initiating bringing the nations to His Son`s feet for judgment. And yet even amid this judgment God still has His hand of mercy out to those who would turn to Him.
The Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, the Head of the Body is building and maturing His people. When they have come to the unity of the faith then they will be caught away to their eternal setting in glory.
Momentous times indeed, and it behoves all of us to have our hearts right with God. Let us not be ignorant but be those who know God`s Plans and thus help others. Let us be expectant and encourage each other all the more as we `see` the day of judgment` coming.
`you brethren, are not in darkness that this Day should overtake you as a thief.` (1 Thess. 5: 4)
`exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.` (Heb. 10: 25)
`To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.` (Heb. 9: 28)
