What about Armageddon and the Return of Jesus Christ?

“We have grasped the mystery of the atom and rejected the Sermon on the Mount. The world has achieved brilliance without conscience. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants.” —Gen. Omar Bradley, Armistice Day Speech 1948

The problem with world peace

Now that we are some years into this new millennium, it is a wonderful thing to think that humankind, with all our rapid advances in technology, could soon usher in a new era of peace and global harmony. But humankind cannot bring about peace. The human heart is sinful and will never bring about world peace. The Bible tells us that “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?” (Jeremiah 17:9).

Though many seek and hope for world peace, Jesus said, “You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet” (Matthew 24:6).

A Time of War

World War I was called the “War to End All Wars.” However, it taught us further strategies of war by introducing air forces and bombing techniques. World War II brought the world to the brink of nuclear destruction, introducing the atomic bomb. Today there are several countries with nuclear capability and many more countries with the missile capability to carry them.

Rather than world peace, the Bible reveals that in the last days there will be hard times for the planet Earth.

The Jesus Movement began during a chaotic moment in American history, when thousands of young people searching for truth encountered the life-changing message of the gospel. In Jesus Revolution, Greg Laurie shares the compelling story behind this spiritual awakening—including his own transformation as a teenager coming to faith in Christ.

This book takes readers behind the scenes of a movement that changed lives through the power of God’s Word and the hope of Jesus. It’s a timely reminder that God still works through ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things.
