How much do you know about your government?  Thanks to the NSA they know a lot about you.  It’s interesting how a government of the people tends to reflects the values of the culture that they govern.  So if society turns away from morality and virtue, guess what’s going to happen to the government?  And this is nothing new.  In fact a guy in the Bible named Amos had a little something to say about what’s happening in our society today.

Jesus said that the poor would always be with us, but that we are called to help them anyway.  So a good Christian who is able to share reaches out to his brothers and sisters who are in need.  In the same way, end times prophecy makes it pretty clear that we will always have war, and that real world peace will always elude us.  Nevertheless we can help bring real peace to the hearts and souls of individuals by introducing them to the Prince of Peace.  Jesus Christ can help you to know what it’s like to have calm through all the storms of life.

You always hear about THE antichrist who will come in the end times and do all sorts of bad things.  But there has been foreshadowing of  this same destructive person going back long before Jesus was even born.  And Jesus even referenced Daniel’s prophecy in in order to warn people what to look out for in the future.

And you thought you had it bad!

A large portion of Daniel 11 is dedicated to one man.  But he is not remembered for his brave deeds or his faithfulness.  He is recorded in Scripture and history as a despicable madman.  And he focuses his mad rage upon the Jews and leaves a bloody trail of wretched deeds behind him.

If you’re not satisfied with the government, just wait till you hear what this national leader did to his subjects.

It’s amazing just how much God gives us to be assured that he is for real, and that Christians don’t just have blind faith in some off-the-shelf religion.  This chapter is jam packed with prophetic details foretelling events centuries before they happened with such detail that the only explanation is a supernatural God with the power to do what he does.

Do you think you’d get a better report on the Civil War from a modern historian or by spending some time with Abraham Lincoln?  Do you think you could get a better picture of what the Apollo 11 moon landing was like by checking out the NASA website or by sitting down with Neil Armstrong and having him tell you the story about when he took that small step/giant leap?

Obviously, if it were possible to talk to the people who had been a part of events in the past, you’d get some amazing stories about those events.  You could get a feeling for what it was like by talking to the people who were there when it happened.

Did your parents ever tell you about when you were born?  Did your grandparents ever tell you about what it was like to live through the Great Depression or to watch the Apollo Moon Landing on live TV?  Wasn’t it cool to hear those stories from the people who’d seen it happen?

So along those same lines, would it be better to learn about the history of the world from somebody who was never there but had made a guess about what might have happened as the world started or from Someone who was there, Someone who actually built the Earth, Someone who designed the universe as a star spangled backdrop for His favorite creation to enjoy when the sun went down?
