It's not "IF", but "WHEN!

1 John 4:5-6                   (ESV)
"5 They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to them.
6 We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error."


It is sometimes awfully frustrating to see people who "are from the world" who are well educated try to prove themselves to Believers.  But I am sure it is equally frustrating for people who "are from the world" to see things the way Believers see them.

I am of the belief that "Whoever is not from God does not listen to us" is a testament of the times we are living in.  The ones who THINK they know what is best are convinced they are correct and refuse to listen to any other views.  The "world listens to them" so they believe that they MUST be correct in the worlds assessment.

JESUS was not enamored with titles, nor degrees, nor status.  HE alerted us that the "wise and understanding" would have things "hidden" from them.  (Matthew 11:25-26 "At that time Jesus declared, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children;  yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.").  We should not be alarmed when we are exposed to evil for JESUS said "these things must happen" before the END comes.

Yes, evil will have its day, but GOD says in Isaiah 5:20 "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"  JUDGEMENT DAY is coming!  It's not "IF" but "WHEN"!
