Why Is the World in Such Turmoil

Autor Lucius Joseph
en Limba Engleză Paperback
One common notion expressed by most people is, "If God was really powerful and good, He would not allow so much evil and suffering to go on." On the other hand, there are those who believe that, the victims of calamities are worse sinners than others hence the reason why they suffered. But according to the words of Jesus Christ, "I tell you, No; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. Regardless of what people may want to attribute to the world's increasing state of disaster, woes, crimes and calamities, the word of God reveals that there are three fundamental reasons for all these troubles, and they are correlated to each other. The word of the Lord says; "The earth mourns and fades away, the world languishes and fades away; the heavens languish together with the earth. The earth lies polluted under its inhabitants" (Isaiah 24:4-5). No one is immune from those events that are permeating the whole earth. The prophet Isaiah wrote; "Behold, the Lord is going to lay waste the earth and devastate it; He will ruin its face and scatter its inhabitants. It will be the same for priest as for people, for masters as for servants, for mistress as for maid, for seller as for buyer, for borrower as for lender, for debtor as for creditor. The earth will be completely laid waste and totally plundered. The Lord has spoken this word" (Isaiah 24:1-3). What is happening throughout the entire universe is as a result of three basic, fundamental reasons, and unless one is willing to present his/her body as living sacrifices, holy, and acceptable to God which is our spiritual act of worship, and not to be conformed to this world, but be willing to be transformed by the renewing of their minds, in order to prove what is that good and acceptable will of God, no sigh of relief will be imminent to them, for the world is doomed to destruction. It is therefore incumbent on all those who understands God's perspective of life, to get busy in doing what the Lord says, which is; "O Zion, you who bring good tidings, get up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, you who bring good tidings, lift up your voice with strength, lift it up, be not afraid; say to the cities of Judah, "Behold your God" (Isaiah 40:9). Our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and we waste away because of them; how then can we live? But this is what the Lord says; "As I live, says the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live; turn back, turn back from your evil ways; for why will you die, O house of Israel? The first reason why the earth and its inhabitants are in such a crisis it is because the laws of God are being transgressed. The irony of truth is every aspect of life is governed by a law or principle, and whether one is knowledgeable, or ignorant of these laws they automatically reap the benefits for obeying them, and unfortunately reap the consequences for violating them: Ignorance of the law is no excuse. Laws were designed by God and gave to man for man's good. It is God's way of life to man, and the way the universe is governed. The Lord said to the prophet Ezekiel, "I gave them my statutes and showed them my ordinances, by whose observance man shall live. Moreover I gave them My Sabbaths, as a sign between me and them, that they might know that I the Lord sanctify them. But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness; they did not walk in my statutes but rejected my ordinances, by whose observance man shall live; and My Sabbaths they greatly profaned" (Ezekiel 20:11-13). As long as man continues to violate the laws which God has ordained by which man should live, and by which the earth is governed, man and the earth will continue to be under a curse.
