Opus 2025-391: The Middle Road

While listening to a discussion between Peter Robinson and Peter Thiel the idea came up about the two routes history can follow.  The first is the Antichrist and one world government, and the other is Armageddon.  Thiel expressed a desire to find a third way, a narrow path between the two.

This brought to mind how God is continually declaring doom and destruction on Israel for their lack of obedience, and the way they sought after other gods.  The perfect result would be a repentant nation that was following the Lord’s direction and would be overwhelmed by His blessings. No such thing happened.

There was however always this third path that Thiel was talking about.  There always seemed to be a remnant of some kind.  What I take from that is that in the midst of His wrath and punishment God always has His eye upon those who are faithful.  So even in the end times there are those who will be faithful.

When people talk about the wrath of God and how He is so full of violence and they talk about the forecast for the end of time, what they overlook is the fact that there will always be the faithful and they will be cared for.  Armageddon is not about destroying the world.  It is about destroying evil and having righteousness prevail.

Remember the evangelistic campaign that had to do with One Way.  We would hold up our index finger and signify that there’s only one way and that is Jesus.  In Thiel’s vocabulary that narrow third way is actually the one and only one way.  That is based on choices we make.  God may destroy much of the world, but it will be because the world has earned that destruction.  The world has refused to repent.  The world has refuse to turn to the living God and has sought after gods of their own choosing.

Don’t forget, there is always that third, or one, way.
