London Terror

7/7/2005

 
And ye shall hear of wars
and rumors of wars . . . 
Matthew 24:6a


In my opinion it was inevitable. A group of terrorists launched a major series of attacks against the people of Great Britain...
It happened this morning, and by late this evening the reports are far from complete.

But there were at least four bombings, three in the subway system and one on a tour bus. Perhaps a few dozen people lost their lives. The count of the dead may go higher still.

During this evening’s Bible class, however, the approximately twenty of us who were present all joined our hands together in a circle. We prayed for those who were hurt by this tragedy. We also asked God to bring comfort to the families of those who died.

I know what the Scriptures tell me concerning the "end times." And because men wish to remove God from their minds and be their own little gods instead, it can only be expected that the conditions of this world cannot get better. Men are in rebellion against their Creator. They will not bow to Him; they’re too proud to pray to a deity they cannot see with their eyes.

Nevertheless, this sudden burst of terror bombings made me think of a letter I sent to a young man in Great Britain in December of last year.

In late 2004 I sensed that Great Britain may be facing some kind of danger. So in my letter I told this man that in years past his nation brought forth into the world men and women who were champions of the Christian faith. While today, however, England’s churches are losing members. Its power has been diminished. And in a land where the gospel was once preached with burning passion and holy fervor, all that is left are mere memories of those days.

The United States of America is in the same situation. I believe that if a genuine spiritual awakening does not come soon, both of our countries may suffer terrible consequences.

These are perilous times we live in, and today’s bombings may be a taste of what is ahead.

Yet there is hope. God is merciful. He is patient with His fallen creatures, and He cares. He also had nothing to do with these terrorist attacks. They were the work of evil men.

But I ask, who will seek God? What leaders of nations will humble their hearts and say, "Lord, we need You, and we need Your help."

I will say this: When the blessings are gone, then men will realize what they have lost. They shall regret their pride. Hereafter they must fend for themselves.

D.B.
