Some experts have started to admit that we need a “strong hand from someplace” to fix the main problem facing not only Israel, but the entire globe.Human governments haven’t been able to stop the mad careening of civilization toward the precipice of self-annihilation. And in fact, that “strong hand from someplace” did warn us a long time ago, in words that evoke a vision of our modern UN. Isaiah 59:8-11:
The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace. Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us .… We grope for the wall like the blind .… [W]e look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.
The need is desperate for that strong hand, but it is “far off from us.” But not for long.
“And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him” (verse 16).
That arm of salvation is on its way very soon. Given the worsening world conditions, for those who believe the Bible, it has to be (Matthew 24:21-22). For more information, read the booklets offered with this article. Our “last, best hope” has already failed us. We can’t honestly expect to survive through another world war that would inevitably be nuclear.
It’s about time we reach out to that strong hand from someplace.
