your future, your choice
Historical Pattern of Human Government
As you learn the truth, you’ll see that ultimately, we all have a choice—we either follow Satan or we follow Jehovah God, and as God lovingly gave us the gift of ‘free will’, it’s up to us individually to choose which way to go. The Choice Is Yours!
Throughout history, every form of human government—from ancient monarchies to modern democracies—has ultimately failed to deliver lasting peace, security, and prosperity. Despite humanity’s best efforts, we continue to witness:
- Widespread poverty
- Endemic corruption
- Systemic injustice
- Environmental destruction
- Ongoing conflicts
- Economic instability
- Biblical Prophecy on Warfare
- Jesus Christ foretold a time when “nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom.” (Matthew 24:7)
- The Rider of War
- The Bible book of Revelation depicts warfare as a rider who is seated on “a fiery-coloured horse” and who takes “peace away from the earth.” (Revelation 6:4)
- Prophetic Rivalries
- The book of Daniel foretold a rivalry between “the king of the north” and “the king of the south.” (Daniel 11:25-45)
- The Final Conflict
- Revelation also describes “the war of the great day of God the Almighty.” (Revelation 16:14, 16) However, this is not a war between nations such as we now observe.
Biblical Prophecies Fulfilled
The Bible’s prophetic record stands in stark contrast to human failures. Consider some remarkable fulfilments of a war between nations such as we now observe.
A Question of Trust
When choosing whom to trust, consider these factors:
Track Record
- Human governments: Consistent pattern of failure
- Biblical prophecies: Consistent pattern of fulfilment
Scope of Understanding
- Human leaders: Limited by time, culture, and experience
- Divine guidance: Transcends human limitations
Longevity
- Human systems: Temporary and changing
- Biblical principles: Enduring and consistent
Looking to the Future
With this perspective, we might ask:
- Why continue trusting systems that repeatedly fail?
- Why ignore guidance that has proven reliable?
- What does this mean for our personal decisions?
The world today seems to be unravelling at the seams. Corruption, greed, and blatant disregard for human life dominate the headlines. It’s hard to escape the feeling that our leaders, those we entrust with power, are failing us. Can we truly trust a system that is so flawed, corrupt, and self-serving?
time for a change
Perhaps it’s time to look beyond human institutions for guidance. The Bible, the inspired Word of God, offers a timeless and reliable source of truth. It’s not just a religious text; it’s a practical handbook for life, providing wisdom and instruction on every aspect of human existence.
Within its pages, we find answers to life’s most pressing questions:
- How can we live a moral and fulfilling life?
- How can we build strong relationships?
- How can we find peace and purpose in a chaotic world?
The Bible offers clear guidance, rooted in God’s love and wisdom.
Sadly, many dismiss the Bible as outdated or irrelevant, but its teachings have stood the test of time. It speaks to the human heart, addressing our deepest desires and fears. It offers hope in the midst of despair and promises a future beyond our wildest dreams.
Note: The choice is ultimately a personal one, but the historical evidence presents a compelling case for considering divine guidance as a more reliable source of direction for human affairs.
As we navigate the complexities of modern life, let’s turn to the timeless wisdom of the Bible. It’s not just a book; it’s a lifeline, a beacon of hope in a world gone astray.
Let’s embrace its teachings and live a life that honours God and blesses others.
