Today's Headlines & The Book of Revelation.

The world appears chaotic, and the headline news is filled with stories of suffering, injustice, and confusion. We cannot help but ask ourselves what will become of our world. The Book of Revelation answers this question by showing us that God is still in control.

Revelation gives us a prophetic vision of the end times when evil will be destroyed and justice restored. This can be seen in headlines such as "The Rich Grow Richer While the Poor Grow Poorer," which speaks to a spirit of inequality and exploitation we are witnessing today. In contrast, Revelation paints a picture of social equity after Christ's return, where all people will no longer struggle for essential resources or suffer oppression and enslavement.

Another headline, "The World is on Edge Over Growing Tensions," reflects the current situation with nations worldwide in conflict and distrust. But Revelation tells us that one day all people will come together under a single banner - that of Jesus Christ - to form a unified kingdom of peace and love. No more will there be war or violence between nations; instead, we can look forward to a new era of harmony and unity.

Finally, headlines like "What Will Become of Our Planet?" express our collective anxiety about climate change and environmental destruction. But Revelation reminds us that God has created this world for exemplary purposes and will not abandon it. In the end, God will make all things new, restoring the balance and harmony of our planet and creating a world where people can live in peace with one another and all creation.

Let us take heart in these challenging times, for the Book of Revelation shows us that God is still in control. Despite what we may be experiencing now, there is Hope for tomorrow: justice will prevail, peace will reign, and love will triumph.

Amen.
