THE END OF THE WORLD** by C. Stam*
THE END OF THE WORLD*
* by C. Stam*
There has been a great deal of discussion lately about some Hindu
astrologers who have predicted that this world will come to an end this
February. The fact is that some sincere Christians fear that these
prophets might be right, since our Lord did speak several times about
the coming "end of the world."
These Hindu astrologers, however, are wrong. This February will not see
the end of the world, for according to the Bible the world, or earth,
will never come to an end. The word "world," which our Lord uses in this
connection, does not refer to the earth, or even the people on it. It is
the old Greek word aion, or age. Several ages in God's program have
already come to an end, and others will, but no matter what destructive
weapons man may devise, the earth will never be destroyed. In Isaiah
45:18 we read:
"For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens: God Himself that
formed the earth and made it; He hath established it; He created it not
in vain; He formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord, and there is none
else."
But doesn't Rev. 21:1 predict "a new heaven and a new earth"? Yes, but
the context clearly indicates that this refers to the future renewing of
the present heaven and earth, not the creating of different ones. Verse
5 says:
"He that sat upon the throne: said, Behold I make all things new."
Note: He didn't say "I make all new things," but "I make all things
new." There is a difference.
We should not be concerned about the end of the world, but rather about
the end of this present age in which we live under "the dispensation of
the grace of God," for God has never promised how long this will last.
Every hour He delays the return of Christ to recall His ambassadors, is
an hour of wonderful grace, in which men may be saved by grace, through
faith in Christ who died for our sins. This is why Paul urges us:
"We then, as workers together with [Christ], beseech you also that ye
receive not the grace of God in vain.... Behold, now is the accepted
time; Behold, now is the day of salvation" (II Cor. 6:1,2).
If you are faithful in reading God's Word,*
*You can be sure that you’re growing thereby;*
*And if you ’re hiding His Word in your heart,*
*You âll be rejoicing to meet Him on high.
