In chapter 24 of Matthew’s Gospel we are told that when Jesus returns to call His church away, things here on earth will be just like they were during the days of Noah. You ask, “How were things”? Well… people were eating and drinking and going about ‘business as usual’. Crime was high, violence filled the land, and people were greedy. There were wars, famines, pandemics, and earthquakes. Does that seem to resemble today, or what? Is a trumpet about to sound? You decide.

Racial tensions are increasing, political disagreements are growing, and anger is simmering as the media stokes the fire every chance they can get. It is easy to look at our world and feel that polarization and division are worse than they have ever been. So where is God in all of this? Is he really in control? Or has he abandoned his vision and mission for humanity and the world?
