Dial Daily Bread

Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread":

Because of Katrina and its aftermath, people who want to “fear God and give glory to Him” (Rev. 14:7) are racked with perplexity: is He sending a message? There have been many Caribbean/Gulf hurricanes, even when the Spanish galleons transported our gold to Catholic Europe; “we” have simply rebuilt more lavishly than before. God hasn’t entered into “our” thinking—much. But Katrina is a cause celebre; is it a judgment on a “decadence,” Mardi Gras abandon, pro-gambling life in post-Christian America?

 Is God calling the whole world to observe His cosmic Day of Atonement—the antitypical fulfillment of the Yom Kippur still observed by devout Jews? Or is His call limited to a relatively small group who at present discern it in the Judeo-Christian Bible?

 

What we know for sure is this: (a) God so loved the world that He gave....” (John 3:16). (b) Christ is “the Saviour of the world, specially of those that believe” (1 Tim. 4:10). (c) The Old and New Testaments teach a cosmic Day of Atonement truth; the same Savior who redeemed the world now calls the world to accountability for redeeming it from eternal death (Matt. 25:31, 32). (d) Christ’s Day of Atonement message (“the hour of His judgment”) is to be proclaimed “to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people” (Rev. 14:6). (e) That truth as good news is to be proclaimed with unprecedented “great power, and the earth [is to be] lightened with His glory;” “a strong voice” is to proclaim, “Come out of [Babylon], My people” (18:1-4). (f) As “the Judge of all the earth” (Gen. 18:25) and as the God who “is love” (1 John 4:8) who did “taste death [the second] for every man” (Heb. 2:9), He has the undisputed right to make a statement to the world. And “every man” for whom He “tasted [that] death” has the duty to listen. What is He saying?
