Genesis 9:6 – 6 “Whoever sheds the blood of man,
by man shall his blood be shed;
for in the image of God
has God made man.
God gave the authority to Man to uphold the law when it comes to murder. We don’t do that hardly ever anymore. Is this a good thing?
Our prisons are full of people the system can’t let out. We’re supporting them to do nothing. Man justifies not using the death penalty by certain people saying, “Who says we have the right to take another life?”
God’s Word says man needs to hold man accountable. Why, because we are made in His image. Adam and Eve were supposed to help rule this world. Of course they got tricked by Satan in the form of the serpent and the sinful curse took over.
If man used God’s Word to rule the world, we all would be fine.
I’m not talking about a peoples skewed interpretations for their own desires or gain, I’m talking following God’s Word on what it says. Love the Lord thy God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength. Love your neighbor as yourself. If you do those two things, you don’t get murder, stealing, greed, or hatred. If you love the Lord, then you also don’t have the other sins that he says are wrong in His Word.
Now because of the fall, man is all messed up spiritually. Look around you if you want to know what the consequences are. We bury our heads in the sand when we see a problem or try to justify it.
There is day coming soon when chaos is going to erupt. God is going to call home the Church and then
those who didn’t want God will get a chance to try and run this world without Him. The last half of the Tribulation will be so bad that some people will seek death and have a hard time finding it.
However, just about when there seems to be no hope, Jesus returns.
Matthew 21:21-22 – 21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again. 22 If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.
Revelation 19:11-16- 11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. 12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. 14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
When the Lord rules and reigns for a thousand years, it will be run by the Word of God. As above states in Revelation 19:13 and in John 1:1,14. Jesus is the Word of God.
