Dial Daily Bread

Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread":

The media, TV or newsprint, is reminding the world of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the 60th anniversary. As the story of the genocide of the Holocaust is something German youth must not be allowed to forget, so we must re-examine that horrible event. We invented a hell on earth. President Truman’s advisors urged him to drop the bomb and he, a good man, felt it was what he should do; but they did not realize that the war would have ended in days with Japan’s surrender without the need of the atom bombs. Today some sober, thoughtful historians say it was a terrible, inhumane mistake. But we felt driven to do it.

 

The book of Revelation promises a “blessing” for the one who will read or hear “the words of this prophecy” (1:1-3). Let’s pause in our busy lives today and read again chapter 13, not to win some theological argument or to make a new chart of pin-pointed “last days events.” Just to ponder what lesson the Holy Spirit may impress upon our hearts. It’s very sober reading.

 

The year 1945 was pivotal in our human history; so is 2005. In chapter 13 we read about the Lamb of God, the Christ who was “slain from the foundation of the earth,” and about His “Book of Life”; and we also read about the solemn events that common sense tells us are imminent.

 

Let us be thankful that the Holy Spirit has not yet been totally withdrawn from the earth, and may we show our thanks by proclaiming the most precious gospel to all who will listen. “Tomorrow” we can’t.
