Restoration

A time of spiritual refreshing is coming that will restore all things.

"...until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began" (Acts 3:21). "'Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security (Jeremiah 33:6)

It seems as if America is fixated on color schemes. The last four years have been defined with various color scenarios. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security came out with an array of colors to remind us of how secure or insecure we were on any given day. Orange alerts became a seemingly monthly event.

Every year, as the calendar year turns over, we see the usual reviews of the past year and projections for what will come for the next. At this time of year I always read a magazine published by The Economist titled, for the current issue, The World in 2005. Its editors try to look ahead and give us a forecast of what is to come.

2004 is a presidential election year in America. Who would Jesus vote for? God has definite opinions about the issues facing governments today. God's opinions are defined by God's law—in fact, His opinion is the law of the universe. Whether He supports a particular party agenda depends on which agenda—or more precisely, which issue of which agenda is aligned with His law.
