I talked about the term "babylon", which is to say "confusion", in my last post. This post is a juxtaposition to that post because I want to put the purpose for this time that we live on the earth in simple terms, using a few different passages. The purpose of this age is very easy to remember because Moses told us, "Thou shalt remember all the way that the Lord thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, and to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep His commandments, or no (Deuteronomy 8:2)." And it is important to know what is in our hearts because that is where true belief begins, "for God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3:16)." "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved (Joel 2:32 & Romans 10:13)." And we know that there have been 2,000 years since Christ walked the earth, which seems like a long time because the Lord is "longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9);" but this period of time will come to an end at some point. "For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry (Habakkuk 2:3)." And we want to be those who have listened to God and have taken heed to what He has said, not confused, "lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, [our] minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ (2 Corinthians 11:2)." For "God is not the author of confusion, but of peace (1 Corinthians 14:33)."
So believe in Him. And call on Him. "His name is great (Psalm 76:1)." What is His name? "Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; He is also become my salvation (Isaiah 12:2)." "Jehovah is His name (Exodus 15:3, Jeremiah 33:2, Amos 5:8 & Amos 9:6)." God bless.
