A Helpless World occupied by Helpless Souls!

Only God Can Help a Helpless World or a Soul that recognizes it is Helpless to Save Itself by its own Efforts! The World cannot save itself by diplomacy or war or any other effort – It can only be changed by the God who made it!
A Soul cannot change itself by any effort on its part – It can only be changed by faith in the ability of Christ to save it.
So me consider
me to be a prophet of doom, an eternal pessimist, a man anxious to see Israel attacked, a person who is anxiously waiting for tectonic chaos to reap havoc on the earth. To be quite frank about these personal labels some have assigned me, I consider myself to be a biblical realist, because the Bible indicates all these things are coming on the earth on mankind. I am the eternal optimist when it comes to Heaven, and the things that await believers in the Millennium and Final Heaven Age.
Everyone seems to have their own person definition of a realist, and it varies from person to person and group to group. I consider a realist to be someone who believes that what the Old and New Testaments state is truly the inspired Word of God.
However, I must confess that the vast majority of mankind believes such a person to be a religious nut, not a realist.
An editorial in Haaretz, titled “A Helpless World,” caught my eye this week. The truth of it is staggering and more extensive than mankind will accept.
Nothing is going to stop the predictions made by the Word of God from coming true, and the soon coming showdown in the Middle East is going to fulfill a ton of those predictions, regardless of the efforts of mankind to bring in an era of peace and safety by any technique or human endeavor.
I Thessalonians 5:3 – 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.
The only thing I am capable of doing is to warn mankind that the world is helpless to change its destiny, and that individual men and women can only have their final destiny changed by repentance toward God as the sinners we all are by birth and nature, and then placing their faith in Jesus Christ for their salvation.
Acts 20:21 – Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
Man bought a curse on an earth that will not be completely changed until Revelation 21:1-5 is fulfilled.
Genesis 3:17 – And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
Since man brought the curse on the earth, only one man has ever been born with a perfect heart that remained perfect to his death – The man Christ Jesus, the living Son of God.
Jeremiah 17:9 – The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
The man Christ Jesus alone can spiritually circumcise and change the hearts of individual men and women. He is the quickening Spirit that circumcises the individual believing heart.
I Corinthians 15:45 – And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
Romans 2:28,29 – For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: [29] But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Colossians 2:11 – In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
I kissed the Son when I was received him as my Savior some 63 years ago. I put my trust in him to save me from what I am, a sinner whose sins, past, present, and future, are forgiven. I do not fear the wrath of God. My appointment with eternal separation from God is cancelled by the sacrifice of Christ for ALL my sins.
Psalm 2:12 – Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
I Thessalonians 5:9 – For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
Colossians 2:13 – And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you ALL trespasses;
John 3:17,18 – For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. [18] He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Man has finally risen to the top of his allotted cup of wrath.
Soon the first part of Psalm 2 will be fulfilled, followed by the arrival of the Son to rule and reign for a thousand years.
Psalm 2:1-5 – Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? [2] The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, [3] Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. [4] He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. [5] Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
Psalm 2:7-9 – I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. [8] Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. [9] Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
This present world and mankind, whose elements are displayed on a periodic chemistry chart, is helpless to prevent the fulfillment of a curse God placed on the earth for man’s sake in the Garden of Eden. Some 1000 years after Christ’s Second Advent, the following Scripture will be fulfilled.
Revelation 21:1-5 – And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. [2] And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. [3] And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. [4] And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. [5] And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

A Helpless World
Editorial (Ha’aretz)
On January 27, International Holocaust Remembrance Day will be observed for the third time. Fixed on the date of the liberation of Auschwitz, it is a memorial for the destruction of the Jews of Europe, which was first established by European countries and later adopted by the United Nations.
This welcome initiative is seemingly the climax of a process in which the Holocaust of the Jews has come to be perceived not only as a disaster for our people, but as having universal significance: a reminder of the horrors that people are capable of inflicting on other people, and also a warning – if not an alarm bell – that summons humanity to fight determinedly against present or future dangers of this kind.
For all the denunciations and the shock, it seems that the international community is also standing by helplessly, doing nothing, in the face of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who denies the Jewish Holocaust and threatens the very existence of the State of Israel. His open threats of destruction are backed by Iran’s efforts to arm itself with weapons of mass destruction that would be capable of carrying out this threat.
Yet the international community is not excited.
It has not gone into overdrive in order to at least deny Iran nuclear weapons. It sometimes seems as if this community is more concerned with ceremonies and memorial days to cleanse its conscience over its inaction in the face of past catastrophes than it is with dealing with the catastrophes that are occurring now, or that are on the horizon.
