Epilogue
Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers,
walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of
his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as
they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly
are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and
the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the
world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 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.
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.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count
slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any
should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 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. (2Pet3:3-10).
Scoffers believe the universe is here by random chance and that
millions of years ago natural processes in a primeval sea
spontaneously generated life which started an evolutionary process
whereby molecules turned into man. I have grandchildren that are not
scoffers, but that is all they have heard taught in their public
schooling, that is all they have read in any
“science” books they
have read, that is all they have heard on our nations news reports,
that is all they have heard from our nation's entertainment medias,
and that is all they have heard and seen developed in zoo's and
museums where they have ventured. Who will teach them truth? Why
should they believe a solitary preacher they call grandpa?
I have an uncle who taught in public school until his retirement. He
is a scoffer. He believes every line of the atheistic evolutionists
and supports every trend of the progressive liberal who strives to
evolve mankind into a new world order. They believe they are leading
us to a world where no one is poor, no one is armed, and no fossil
fuels are ever burned. When the vast majority believe the lie, who
will tell him the truth? Why should he believe a solitary preacher he
considers a misleading nephew?
And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD
of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. And the posts of the
door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled
with smoke.
Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of
unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips:
for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts. Then flew one
of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he
had taken with the tongs from off the altar: And he laid it upon my
mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity
is taken away, and thy sin purged. Also I heard the voice of the
Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?
Then said I, Here am I; send me.
And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand
not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. Make the heart of this
people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they
see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with
their heart, and convert, and be healed.
Then said I, Lord, how long?
And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and
the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate, And the
LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the
midst of the land. But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall
return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose
substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed
shall be the substance thereof (Isiah 6:3-13).
We are going to lose the battle, but he is going to win the war.
These things I have written that you may more fully know that God
says what he means and means what he says. These things have I
written that you might earnestly contend for the faith. My prayer is
that some will hear.
