The Planet Is Looking For A Saviour?


Today's headlines from Times On Line, "Who Will Save Our Planet?" sends out the alarm that the earth is in need of a saviour, without recognizing the One who already came to save the human race with His own blood on the Cross of Calvary. These people seem to be frantically looking everywhere for a saviour from scientists to politicians.

Jesus Christ has already told us in His Word that "heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away" in Matthew 24:35, and he gave us signs that would occur on earth just before His return outlined in Matthew's Gospel Chapter 24 that we are seeing happen today at an accelerating rate, some of which are disguised as "global warming". Yet unbelievers who themselves see that the world is indeed in need of a saviour, still look to themselves to do what only the true Saviour, Jesus Christ, can and will do when He returns to set up His Kingdom on earth.

The Apostle Peter wrote about these scoffers in his second epistle Chapter 3, when he said:
"That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour;2
Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts 3.
But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men 7.
But beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 8
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing than any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 9
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up." 10.
Even the skeptics know the world is in need of a saviour and sounding the alarms. His name is Jesus Christ, and he has already come and is about to intervene in the affairs of men on this planet once again soon.
Behold, I come quickly: Blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. Revelation 22:7
