THE WORLD: WRETCHED, PITIFUL, POOR, BLIND AND NAKED

Scripture tell us that the World is under the control of Satan;

(1 John 5:19)

That this World in its Present Form is Passing Away.

(1 Corinthians 7:31)

We also know from Scripture the condition of the Church of Laodicea

Who thought that they were Alive but were not.

Christ Jesus described them as Wretched, Pitiful, Poor, Blind and Naked.

Think how much more the World, that has never know Christ Jesus,

Is Wretched, Pitiful, Poor, Blind and Naked.

Does not Christ Jesus Counsel those in the World,

As He did the Church of Laodicea, to come to Him

And by gold refined in the Fire,

So that they could become Rich;

And White Clothes to wear,

So they could cover their Nakedness;

And Salve to put on their eyes, so that they could see?

Does He not Stand at the Door of Every Living Person

And Knock?

If anyone hears His Voice and opens their Door to Him,

Will He not come in and eat with them?

Christ Jesus defined

The Desperate Condition of the Church of Laodicea

And He could just as easily been defining

The Desperate Condition of the World.

Christ Jesus went on to say to the Church in Laodicea:

TO HIM WHO OVERCOMES,

I will give the Right to sit with Me on My Throne,

Just as I Overcame (this wicked World)

And sat down with My Father on His Throne.

He who has an Ear,

Let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches

And to Every Person in the World.

(Revelation 3:14-22)

I am convinced that Father God, by His Holy Spirit,

Invites Every Person into His Kingdom

But only those who answer that Call come in.

Most Reject the Call of God.

Many are Called but few are Chosen [Matthew 24:14];

Few Choose to lay down their life in this life

To obtain the Life of Christ Jesus, even Eternal Life.

And so most People in the World

Remain Wretched, Pitiful, Poor, Blind and Naked.

The Nations of the World

Remain Wretched, Pitiful, Poor, Blind and Naked,

Before the Living God;

The Whole World, that before too long,

Will worship the son of Satan, the Beast of Revelation,

The Antichrist

And will go the the Lake of Fire

Created by God Almighty for Satan and his Fallen Angels.

(Revelation 13; 19:20)
