Behind the seismic shifts that the world is handling, and all the social, political and military challenges it faces year after year, God is working His purposes out. Life, even in the relatively comfortable West, seems more fragile than it did, and certainties have become uncertainties, but the day is coming when the Earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of God. (Hab. 2:14)
This song by Linda Entwistle is based on Joel’s prophecy which speaks of a war that puts to an end all wars, for it culminates in the return of the Lord Jesus to Earth. (Joel 3) As Linda put it, “As the threat of war hangs heavy over the world in these days, this song looks at and beyond the catalytic events that will unfurl in the land of Israel, and affect the whole world.
There is so much that the Lord is doing as He prepares to usher in an entirely new phase of His Kingdom on Earth when He will put right all that has taken the world so far from his ways, en route to fulfilling the glorious promise of Isaiah 65:17-18 and Revelation 21 concerning the new heavens and the new earth that He will create, in which He makes everything new.’
