The media keep talking about another fear that gnaws at our vitals: a fear greater than of REcession--now of a DEpression.
Some of us still living have actual memories of living in a house without electricity, even without running water, without inside plumbing (yes, an "outhouse" in the back yard), and without supermarkets. Millions of our younger generations cannot fathom such a life.
If you've never known life in a grand Promised Land flowing with milk and honey, if you've always known nothing but grinding poverty, you're not as afraid of a Depression as those who have known nothing else but wealth and luxury. You dread losing even a little of what you've always taken for granted. Such materialistic fear could someday easily trigger religious injustice.
Want some comfort and happiness? Identify with Jesus of Nazareth, the world's Savior. Live with Him, close to Him. He had nowhere to lay His head, not even a tent or grass roof. He died with no wealth other than His clothing. Offer (and feel) profound thanks for whatever luxury or comfort you do have now, and confess from the depths of your soul that all you enjoy is the purchase of His sacrifice for the world. "The bread of God is He which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. ... Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His blood, ye have no life in you" (John 6:33, 53). It's true! All your life you've been eating at His table. Whether or not we believe, we owe everything to Him.
Has the Father in heaven decided that at last the world should be brought to realize the true Source of that "life" which we all have blithely enjoyed? If so, could that trigger the final events of Revelation 18?
