The greatest casualty in the war against Covid-19 and its variants (not to mention the deadly jabs) may prove to be the loss of confidence by the public in their once respected government institutions. (Poll-driven party politicians long ago forfeited the trust of thinking voters.)
This was inevitable when, in the 1960s, demonic forces flooded into the West and displaced Christianity as the flag-bearer of Civilization. Multinational drug companies and their socialist activists, together with the ever compliant media, now have the West in a combined stranglehold.
Our only hope is a worldwide outpouring of the Spirit of Christ, which alone will convince people of sin, righteousness, and judgement. Beyond this present life God’s judgement awaits everyone who ever lived. This is inevitable. The liars whose faces now fill our TV, laptop, and mobile phone screens will face God’s unfettered fury. I would not be in their shoes for anything! Jesus Christ, whom they rejected and whose name they used as a curse-word, will be unable to defend them because he will be their judge.
The one and only exemption available to God’s Judgement is for those who are dead spiritually but “hear the voice of the Son of God” and on hearing it come to life (John 5:25). This is a “now is” opportunity. Verses 28 and 29 speak of others “in the grave” who hear the Lord’s voice and rise to judgement.
Note the absence in these two verses of “and now is”. Those who hear in the “now is” time of verse 25 ‘come to life’ spiritually in their lifetimes, and will have risen spiritually. Those who disregard the Lord’s voice and die will appear before God and answer to Him for their sins.
This is a “now is” moment — the time for you to be saved. It is a moment of opportunity, one in which you can either accept or reject Jesus as your Saviour. So, what’s it to be: opportunity accepted and never-ending life assured, or opportunity disregarded for an uncertain number of years, followed by God’s judgement? God is not neutral: He says “Choose life and live”! Which choice will you accept?
