Is it all about us.
We as Christians during this time in history possibly are thinking “Why is God waiting. What is God possibly waiting on, before sending His Son Jesus back to earth to straighten out the mess the moral dilemma that we have found ourselves in in this day and age.” It all seems to be getting worse and life seems to be getting harder for everyone here on earth as well.
We think to ourselves and sometimes some of us say it out loud with such complaints as “God what on earth is happening and why for your name's sake aren't You doing anything about the situation that we are in”. We might say “why not even a revival” nothing is happening, God seems to be silent at this point and time in history. But is it possible that we could ask the question “why is it happening this way and when are things going to start to happening on a Spiritual level with all of the passages in the Bible about many things happening in the end times or later days. God for heaven sake do something do not let us just set here silent with our hands tied when the world is following apart around us.
Maybe with God, there is a reason why things are getting so bad before they can possibly get better. Could it possibly be that there is a code of honor God's Laws at stake? A morality clause in the balance in the bylaws of creation. A stand and standard for righteousness and honesty and integrity and Holiness. What about fairness and love. Now instead of looking at this through the eyes of man humanity the creation lets try and look at it through the Eyes of the Creator, through Gods Eyes if that is at all possible with our limited knowledge and ability.
Just speculating with human understanding and with an endless possibility of reasons one possible explanation could be that God through His love and His justification for the use of correction and or punishment or chastisement or wrath or judgment has to allow the sin to get to a specific point or level then God has every right and more to make a judgment call or to judge someone and ultimately use punishment. By law we can not prosecute or punish or even judge someone if they have not committed a crime. We may want to because we know that they are and will do a specific sin crime or breaking of the law. Or a child we can not spank them or correct them if they have not done something specifically wrong yet, the same even with our pets. We know that they are going to cross the road or whatever it maybe burn their hand on a hot stove. We can not really discipline them until they actually do something wrong. It would not make sense to us or them and it would not be morally right.
The same with God really. God cannot discipline us or do any correcting if we have not done nothing wrong yet. And with God God knows when enough is enough not like us. Or how far to let a person or a city or a society or a nation or even a world go before it is enough and they corrupt more and more people and get progressively worse. In an obscure passage but stated in a profound way God tells Abraham and us why God let His people or part of the reason why God let His people stay in the land of Egypt for 400 years. This is seen clearly in Genesis 15:16, “And they shall come back here in the fourth generation, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.” God had to wait four generations or 400 years to allow the Amorites to get bad enough before God could with all honesty and moral integrity and righteousness and legitimately had the moral right to judge these people, kick them out and give the land to another people, His chosen people. There are other passages in the Bible about the end times that could be seen as to the reason why God possibly would decide to wait for a certain level of corruption, immorality and or sin to prevail or reach or peak before God can morally ethically and honestly make a correction, punishment, judgment or wrath. We see this with God sending a people into exile twice and the last time for 2000 years now, as God did with His chosen people Israel, but loves them enough to bring them back. We see with such passages in these as to why God might be waiting to make a correction in the end times. In Romans 11:25, we find “a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in”.Daniel 12:7, ”When the power of the holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed."Matthew 24:12, “Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold”. Luke 21:22-24 “For this is the time of punishment in fulfillment of all that has been written”. Romans 2:5. "But after your hardness and impenitent heart treasure up to yourself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation”.1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
Is it possible that Gods reason for waiting in this time in history is not all about us as Christians but possibly might it be about giving an honest shake to those that chose to resist the Love and Heart of God? We might be thinking to ourselves why O why O God are these things happening and why O why God are You waiting and not doing anything about it. Well, can it be possible that we can set back and relax and know that there possibly might be a very good reason why things are happening the way that they are evolving. God seems silent at this point in time, but is God really that silent. In reality, the world is speaking loud and clear with the level of transgression reaching the Ears and Eyes and Heart of the Lord God. So good advise is to see and learn from History that God does get involved and that when it is the correct time as seen all throughout the Bible.
