Hear That?

Wednesday, February 23, 2011
Hear That? The Middle East has become a chaotic hotbed of revolt and protest. In the streets of Egypt and in many other surrounded nations, loud violent protests are filling the streets as governments are being overthrown and “revolution” is coming. The so called “Muslim Brotherhood” of the Middle East is rising to the challenge, and one by one they are laying out plans for strict Islamic law to be instituted and the Islamic worldwide Caliphate inches closer to existence. But wait…hear that?
Earthquakes are shaking up communities that are unfamiliar with the feeling of the ground shaking in such ways. Christchurch, New Zealand is in rubble this morning after a mega-quake struck that mega-town. Even in our own backyard in Arkansas, towns like Greenbrier and Conway are being shaken by the rumbling beneath the ground. Earthquakes are definitely striking in “diverse places.” But hold on a minute…hear that?
Disease is rampant across the globe, as is hunger. Today 2/3 of the earth’s population will live with the very real reality of hunger. Tens of thousands will die today on planet earth from preventable causes, most of which relate back to lack of basic nutrition. Children are dying in the streets of nations just a stone’s throw from our own such as Haiti. The problems and plagues of the world are inching their way into developed nations that haven’t known these issues as of yet. It’s crazy out there…hear that?
The world is slowly but steadily turning its back, more so than ever in recent history, against the nation of Israel. Even Israel’s closest ally, the United States, has taken ever increasing steps in recent days to distance herself from these people of promise. It seems as though the nations of the world are preparing some great, massive uprising against this tiny nation in unison, and the United States is preparing to step aside as the one most consider to be Israel's primary defense. It’s getting all stirred up, but wait…hear that?
These are just a few of the major events on the world scene right now. For a more detailed view of today’s events, just turn on Fox News or any other news provider. Chaos is the rule across the globe. It’s almost as if the world itself is just poised and waiting for some man with all the answers to step up with the solution to the problems we face. There it is again…hear that?
Off in the distance, I can almost put my finger on that sound. I recognize the pitch, and though faint I can almost guarantee you I know what it is. Oh yes, there it is again – I know what it is exactly! Can you hear it? I can – though faint and distant, it’s very real. No doubt about it, that sound is unmistakable – it’s a trumpet. Get ready folks, Jesus is coming, and He’s almost finished waiting.



That’s just a thought, and I welcome yours.
Until next time,
