The Restoration of All Things
It is truly amazing when we consider and see there 'is nothing new under the sun.
' Early in the biblical record of man it is recorded that when faced with a choice of seeking knowledge, man chose to depart from the only source of all Wisdom and Knowledge and seek out his own way.
With this choice came corruption and dilution.
He was thrust out from Perfection into chaos and a howling wasteland.
Throughout history mankind continues along this broad way of destruction.
Blindly, willingly believing he, with knowledge acquired through false science, can achieve his own perfection.
Can that which is imperfect make itself perfect or can impurity make itself pure? Only that which is Perfect has the Power to make restoration.
Graciously, Perfection did come to rescue and restore.
He purchased with a great price a new and living way for imperfection to be restored unto Himself in the restoration of all things, which He purposed to do from before the foundation of the world.
Now the world is passing away and all it's lusts.
It is as an old garment that is decaying and is ready to be thrown off.
For those of the world there should be no surprise that they blindly continue down the same old broad way of destruction, arrogantly striving to enter there own rest.
But for those who profess to be enlightened, how is it that they mix themselves with the nations by joining hands with them in their exercise in futility.
They spew out their vain philosophies of politics, sociology, and economics.
They set themselves one against another in their frivolous disputes about whose ideas are the way to achieve, in the end, their own selfish desires.
How is it that those who profess to be born again of the Spirit, find themselves embroiled in this emptiness? Can spiritual problems be resolved by means of that which is carnal and passing away? Have you not read that we do not war against flesh and blood? We are to set our minds, our affections on things above, not on the things here below.
There is only One Government that shall endure.
It is upon His Shoulders and of it's increase and peace there shall be no end, from then on and forevermore! This was lost with regard to mankind and can only be restored in Him.
Let us, he that listens to what the Spirit says, repent and turn from our wicked ways lest we find ourselves on the same old broad way to destruction.
