People have always challenged God’s Word since the very beginning of time. In Genesis 3, Satan asked Eve in the Garden of Eden, “Has God really said you would die if you disobeyed Him? You won’t die”. Adam and Eve did die. In the 1700’s professed atheist Voltaire said “Within 3 decades, The Bible will be extinct". Jesus said “heaven and earth will pass away, but my word shall never pass away.” I just read that Bible sales are estimated between 2.5 billion up to 6 billion in the 20th century.
“For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.”
(Revelation 17:17) KJV
In Mark 13, Jesus told his disciples as they were walking out of the Temple in Jerusalem Temple
In their minds nothing could bring down these walls. "Look, teacher! What massive stones! What magnificent buildings!"
The smallest stones in that structure weighed 2 to 3 tons. Many of them weighed 50 tons. The largest existing stone, part of the Wailing Wall, is over 39 feet long in length and nearly 10 feet high, weighing hundreds of tons! The stones were so immense that neither mortar nor any other binding material was used between the stones. Their stability was achieved by the amazing weight of the stones. The walls towered over Jerusalem
You can then understand the disciples’ surprise when Jesus said that this massive building would be leveled to the ground. Forty years later, in 70 AD the Temple was destroyed by Rome
“Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.”
(Luke 21:33) KJV
History has taught me that it is a waste of a person’s time to listen to Satan’s suggestions that God’s words will not come true. May we find comfort and meaning in knowing that every single word of God will be fulfilled. No other book or person has ever been proven so trustworthy. If God said it…that settles it!
