Dial Daily Bread

Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread":

The most sanguine of politicians of whatever party are worried. They may not know that they are in the Bible, but they are: Jesus spoke of our very days today, “‘There will be.... on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity,.... men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth” (Luke 21:25, 26). They know that there is something seriously wrong; Jesus pinpoints it in that same discourse on the Mount of Olives: “Many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because [unholy] lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold” (Matt. 24:11, 12).

 

That “love” is the same love that Hosea had in his heart for Gomer, his attractive, charming but unfaithful wife (1:2; 3:1, etc.). Paul says, “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church, and gave Himself for it” (Eph. 5:25), such love being a precious gift which we receive from Jesus—love that never ceases (1 Cor. 13:8, KJV). It was known of old, for Isaac “loved” Rebecca (Gen. 24:67), and the Song of Songs says such love is “strong as death,” that is, it never dies (8:6). It’s from the Garden of Eden.

 

The word is not in the American Constitution; but its principle pervades it, for it safeguards holy law. “Lawlessness” is the evil that causes such strong-as-death “love” to cool for “many”—bold, callous disobedience to the holy law of God, His ten commandments. The growing crisis of today leads the two-horned “beast” to abandon its lamblike character, henceforth to “speak as a dragon,” assuming the role of dictator to the world (Rev. 13: 11, 12ff). Find your place in that chapter, loyal to the Lamb of God who was “slain” (vs. 8).
