Why would a good God allow all those terrible things to happen? Even now, why does God allow all the things He cannot stand to continue happening?<\/p>\n<p>We need to stop looking at God in the Bible as a God made for our happiness. The Guardian Father God in Exodus, the gentle Jesus in the Gospels, the giving Spirit at Pentecost had always been consistent. He is holy and good. Not &#8216;good&#8217; by human standards. Good, by godly standards.<\/p>\n<p>We should be seeing the world today as the great city of Nineveh. We are currently living in the time of Jonah. There is still time to repent and go back to God. However we are to bear in mind that it has been pronounced that the world will be destroyed, just as Nineveh too was destroyed after Jonah&#8217;s time (Nahum 1).<\/p>\n<p>Revelation is very clear of how and why the world ends. The &ldquo;when&#8221; is not truly known, only that it starts slow then accelerates extremely fast. There will be no time. There will be no chance. The time and chance is where we are now.<\/p>\n<p>The grace in this message is that we just need to take care of ourselves where we are. Live right by the standard of the Word and keep the faith. You are entrusted with what you have, and will continue to be entrusted with more. Like the parable of talents He will multiply what the good steward has, but he will take away even the single talent from a bad steward.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever circumstances each of us are in currently, my hope is that we take this heavy message from Revelation as a hope and reminder of the end we strive for, and as a warning to not stray away from the path of holiness. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The God in Revelation seems paradoxical.
