Apologies if this comic caused you any anxiety or fear about 2022. But you know, I’m simply being realistic about things. As Christians, we should be fully aware that dependence on the world is a very bad thing. The world is very fragile, without God’s protection, it would face chaos and destruction, so why depend on the world when you can depend on the one sustaining it? I’m not saying you should not have a job or anything like that, I’m more talking about your mentality. What is your mindset? Would you be ok if your worldly hopes and dreams crumbled along with the world?
Some of the things I mentioned in the comic may seem a little…dystopian. I’m not an advocate for hysteria regarding persecution or end-times-related type things. I’m not an advocate of “stock up on ammo in preparation for surviving the end-times” type things either. You do you if you think differently. God put us here at this time for a reason. He works all things for good, so rest assured that whatever happens, He has not forgotten you.
All I’m saying is that these things could very well happen, and if we live our lives saying “peace and safety” all day long, we live in a delusion. 1 Thessalonians 5:3 talks about this (Day of the Lord). It is almost certain that we will all face some terrifying stuff in our lifetime. I haven’t lived through any significant historical tragedies just yet (unless you count Covid), but I know it’s somewhat unrealistic to say I will get to live in “peace and safety” my whole life.
Anyways, Christians, I hope you are strengthening your faith for this new year. I hope you’re letting go of your grasp on the world and turning to Christ. I hope these past 2 years have been a wake-up call to you, showing you the true nature of this world. It’s not as good as some people say, the times are wicked and the foundation is fragile. So please, start seeking God’s kingdom, which is far more secure than anything you can find on earth.
All that being said, I still pray that 2022 will be a better year than 2021. I pray that God will bless you all with great spiritual growth and whatever other blessings you need. Happy New Year.
