What it takes to shake nations

Gambling/Entertainment: Las Vegas closed

Dow Jones, DAX down

About 2600 years ago, the prophet Zephania foresaw: "The Lord will be awesome to them when he destroys all the idols (gods) of the land. The nations on every shore will worship him, every one in its own land" (Zep 2:11) -  

Who would have thought that He could do this with a little virus? 

Sports: Stadiums closed, Olympics postponed

Music: Concert Halls closed

Arts: Theaters closed

Entertainment/Gambling: Las Vegas closed

Hollywood: Cinemas closed

Travel: Hotels closed, flights canceled

Economy: DowJones, DAX down

…

Yes, even Religion: Churches, mosques; temples closed!

None of the things mentioned above are evil or bad in themselves. But if they become the center of our lives (i.e. our idols), God is able to turn entire nations upside down anytime. What an opportunity to reconsider our ways! 

Turning disasters into opportunities
The church by and large missed 9/11. Let´s use this time to proclaim the gospel to the nations!

You will not hear it from the government, nor from the media: Jesus Christ still saves!
