Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread,"
Is "uncivil war" in the very air we breathe? Are there "two" anywhere who can "walk together, except they be agreed" as Amos 3:3 asks? Is there a church anywhere in the world that is not riven with disagreements, even strife? Is there any group anywhere that believes for sure just what is the truth? For several hundred years "we" have talked about "the signs of the times" that herald the coming of Christ; will the "signs" be getting more serious now?
Could it be that "men's hearts [will be] failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth"? Will we soon be watching "the powers of heaven ... shaken"? (Luke 21:25, 26). Is God's patience beginning to wear thin with modern "Babylon"? How close are we to Belshazzar's Feast? Let's be awake!
On the last night of the existence of Babylon as a world empire the national comedians had great fun and the government leaders rejoiced in their military and political supremacy. Likewise on Sodom and Gomorrah's last night the elite reveled in their pleasurable but sinful luxury, but God couldn't find even "ten" there whose hearts were right (Gen. 18:32). (Ezekiel tells us there must have been a slum section where the slaves of the wealthy had to live in squalor [16:49]).
The Bible warns us that the world will experience another last night as did Sodom (Jude 7, 8). It's time for God's people to do some serious heart-searching. Shouldn't those who seek to "follow the Lamb whithersoever He goeth" begin seeking to be "one"?
