New World Order

New World Order
The world and its desires pass away but the man who does the will of God lives forever.
1 John 2:17
There is a new world order coming. The Bible says in the last days there will be a one world government, a one world economy and a one world religion. For centuries the world we live in has been dominated by evil. This evil will come to a climax in this new one world order, but it will be short lived and then we will have a new world order that the earth has been longing for since Adam’s fall in the garden. This world system will come to a climatic end when Jesus Christ comes again and sets up a Kingdom of righteousness. Hatred, greed, jealousy, war and death will no longer be known. This new world order will be the Kingdom of God.
Today we have more knowledge available to us than ever before in the history of the world, but at the same time we seem to have less wisdom than ever before. There seems to be no peace. People are running around busier than they’ve ever been, yet they can’t seem to get ahead. There is no peace in their lives. We are trying desperately to build a peaceful world, but there is no peace within people’s hearts. We cannot build a new world on the old, unregenerate hearts of people. The new world will come about only when Jesus Christ, King of kings, Lord of lords, reigns supreme. He is the “Prince of Peace”.
All the insecurities and revolutions going on around the world might be the end of the beginning. We seem to be going from crisis to crisis. It is God’s turn to act and Scripture promises that He will act dramatically. He will send his Son Jesus Christ back to this earth. He is the Lord of history. Nothing takes Him by surprise. Events are moving rapidly toward some sort of climax, but it will be according to God’s time when Jesus Christ returns to be rightful Ruler of the world.
But before that time comes, God wants to rule in your heart. He has sent Jesus Christ into the world to be Ruler of your heart. The Bible says that sin shall not have dominion over you if Jesus Christ is in your heart as Lord and Master (Romans 6:14). You see, there are two rulers. There is self and there is Jesus Christ. Either self will reign and dominate or Jesus Christ will reign and dominate. Who is your ruler? Is the Kingdom of God within you?
No matter what life you have lived, Jesus Christ can come into your heart right now if you will turn from your sins and receive Him as Savior. He loves you. He wants to forgive you. You can enter the new Kingdom, the new world that will be born under His leadership when He comes again.
