The earth lies defiled under its inhabitants; for they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore a curse devours the earth, and its inhabitants suffer for their guilt; therefore the inhabitants of the earth are scorched, and few men are left. —Isaiah 24:5-6
He will swallow up death forever; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from all faces, and the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for the LORD has spoken. It will be said on that day, “Behold, this is our God; we have waited for him, that he might save us. This is the LORD; we have waited for him; let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.” —Isaiah 25:8-9
You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. 4 Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock. —Isaiah 26:3
All of the earth is under a curse because of disobedience and breaking the everlasting covenant.
“I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God. We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.” —Romans 8:18-25
Why do we have storms, murders, and so many other difficulties on this planet? One simple but destructive force causes this— sin. The human race has disobeyed God from the beginning and from that time destruction happens— by man or by fallen creative forces. The earth is under a curse because of sin and mankind has suffering because of our guilt. All that is evil and bad we brought on ourselves because of our rebellion against God. Don’t blame God… it is our fault. All that is bad, evil, wicked and all the negative is because of us, not God. Fortunately for us, He has provided us with the answer— https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYZw0dfLmLk&t=226s
But for those who turn back to Him and trust Him, well, they can have perfect peace as they keep focused on Him. One day “He will swallow up death forever; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from all faces.” Yes, “Behold, this is our God; we have waited for him, that he might save us. This is the LORD; we have waited for him; let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.” His plans and purposes will come to pass. Fellow follower of Jesus we can fully depend on that!
“For I will shake the heavens. The earth will move from its place when the LORD of Heaven’s Armies displays his wrath in the day of his fierce anger.” —Isaiah 13:13
But then…
“He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” —Revelation 21:5
And…
“He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” —Revelation 21:4
Dear Father I so look forward to that Day when I see Jesus! May I be faithful to Your desires while I await that day. May this be so by the power of Your Holy Spirit and in the authority of Your Son Jesus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZ4lAVu9VwU
