Dial Daily Bread

Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread":

Mike Pearse has written a thought-provoking book entitled WHY THE REST
HATES THE WEST. He examines the phenomenon of the most “Christian” of
nations evoking the most virulent hatred of the non-West peoples of the
world. His thesis is simple if stated in simple biblical terms:
“Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen,” and no longer represents the
values of Christ (Rev. 18:2).

It wasn’t always like this. When President Theodore Roosevelt sent the
Great White Fleet around the world, it was revered. In the halcyon days
of the Marshall Plan, the common people in Europe would shout, “Yo para
America!” President Lincoln’s “last, best hope of mankind” stirred
wonder in human hearts everywhere. There was hope that God was
intervening in human history!

The God whom Christians profess to worship says He is “love” (agape).
He must be honest and fair, as well as just and merciful. The Book He
has given the world (the Bible) warns us of the final events of world
history when the Enemy in the “great controversy” will seek to wreak
his hatred on mankind. The One who is a God of love (agape) has
promised that in His love He will “send you Elijah the prophet before
the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord” who will perform
a ministry of unprecedented reconciliation between honest human hearts
and the true God (Mal. 4:5, 6). The “rest” may not overcome their
hatred of “the West,” but every human heart that will believe truth
will respond to this final revelation of the true character of God.
Speaking of the last angel’s message of the more abounding grace of
God, His promise is that “the earth [will be] illuminated with his
glory.” That last angel’s message and “Elijah’s” final message will be
the same--the yearning heart of the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ
pleading with “every one,” “Be reconciled to God!” (2 Cor. 5:20). When
the true “Elijah” came to the Jews in the person of John the Baptist
(Matt. 11:13, 14), they brushed him aside. Now is our last chance to
repent: let’s not reject “Elijah” one last time!
