I am reminded of the final battle in JRR Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings", which I read in high school, when all seemed hopeless as the armies of evil were about to overwhelm them and subjugate the whole of middle earth. But with faith and courage they stood their ground willing to die on that last hilltop. I won't spoil the ending. This is not a child's fairy tale.
As a '50s child, it is so disheartening to watch the world being subjected to a spirit of genocide in a war that even now most do not acknowledge. There is a reckoning coming but until the American church wakes up and repents of their lethargy for the holiness of God and His Law, the world system will continue to trample us under foot as salt that has lost it's flavor. When congregations begin to wake up, start preaching the Law of God and begin to pray the maledictory Psalms of King David in congregational prayer against the enemies of God, then our Lord and Savior will hear our prayers and pour out His Spirit upon us to rebuke the enemy who has no authority in this world. I pray that I may live to see that day.
I pray every day for mercy and for God to rescue His creation. Every species on the planet is being systematically poisoned.
