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!
