Bruce wrote ,' An empire founded on violence,plunder and exploitation is like a jerry-built house. It is bound to collapse because it has no inner coherence. The various, parts of the structure, the walls and the beams, stand in perpetual tension with one another instead of providing mutual support. At last ,the tension becomes too great and the building crashes in ruins'.Consider ,Hitlers Third Reich,that supposedly was to last for a thousand years it lasted 12 years. The Soviet Union founded by Vladimir Lenin lasted 69 yrs, both these governments,were founded on wickedness,millions and millions of poor souls suffered dreadfully. In Proverbs 14 v 34 we read,'Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people' The question I ask , are there any righteous nations?,it is a good question ,it appears to me that all nations are living on borrowed time,and I believe that when evil has reached its zenith,the end will come,only God knows when that will be.The important thing for the children of the kingdom of God, is to live godly holy lives,to walk in the light,in fact to be a light,in this dark world of sin.
' Jesus bids us shine, with a clear pure light,
Like a little candle burning in the night,
In this world of darkness,we must shine,
You in your small corner,and I in mine.
Words Susan B, Warner.
