A New World

"For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come to into mind" (Isaiah 65:17).
One of the most powerful verses for our time. It contains a remarkable implication and that is that God Himself will create a new world not improve on it's old foundations; "For the former things are passed away and behold all things are made new." World governments and leaders now declare that they have the solutions and designs necessary for securing a stable world yet fail to recognize that their efforts are in vain for God Himself will make all things new. Whatever is accomplished by earthly powers is as temporary and durable as a sandcastle by the shore. The waves of God's power and justice will remove any trace of human vanity and pride from the shores of time. At the coming of Chirst even the great men shall hide from his glory: "And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the cheif captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; and said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb; For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?" (Rev. 6:15-17). If this is the fate that is predicted for those great men of the earth what more can be said about the products of their "greatness"? Their empires too shall be hidden under the rubble of mountain ranges and swallowed up by the waves of the sea never to be remembered again.
