Tragic Ending

But evil men and imposters will grow worse and worse.
2 Timothy 3:13

A tragic but bizarre story appeared in Florida newspapers earlier this year. A sixty-eight-year-old man in the Panhandle had just driven into the driveway of his home and stepped out of the car to open the gate. He left the car door open, and his excited dog jumped into the vehicle, somehow hit the accelerator, ran over the man, and killed him.

The point of the story is that some days we feel like strange forces are accelerating history. The human race is careening into the Last Days with an alarming speed. The Bible teaches that evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. “But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus” (2 Timothy 3:14-15).

As Christians, we needn’t worry about what lies ahead. We know whose hand is guiding history.

Be still, my soul: thy God doth undertake. To guide the future, as He has the past.
Katharina A. von Schlegel, hymnist
