Matthew 5:13-16

"I'm Coming Out" Writer(s): Bernard Edwards, Nile Rodgers

8 billion people circling the Sun and most of them are lost (spiritually). But there is good news:
"For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost." (Luke 19:10)

The concept of Israel as "ground zero" involves several key passages:

Zechariah 14:2-4: Describes a final gathering of all nations against Jerusalem for battle, ultimately culminating in the Messiah's feet touching the Mount of Olives.

Ezekiel 38-39: Prophesies a massive invasion of Israel in the "latter days" by a coalition of nations (often interpreted as Gog and Magog).

Luke 21:20: Records Jesus prophesying that Jerusalem will be surrounded by armies prior to the end.

Independent, Republican, Democrat or whatever...if not dependent upon the Lord the outcome will be:

“Futility of futilities,” says the Teacher.
“Everything is futile!” (Ecclesiastes 12:8 BSB)

Unless you're dependent upon God the outcome will be:

"Lowborn men are but a vapor;
the exalted are but a lie.
Weighed on the scale, they go up;
together they are but a vapor." (Psalm 62:9 BSB)

And unless you are dependent upon the Lord, you will find yourself in this situation:

"TEKEL means that you have been weighed on the scales and found deficient." (Daniel 5:27 BSB)
