The problems of our days are numerous: Hunger in many regions, war and rebellion, the consequences of climate change, more than 70 million refugees worldwide, a worldwide pandemic of extreme dimensions etc. The solution of these challenges requires hard and solidary work of governments, non government organizations and citizens. But all these labors are disturbed by corruption and secret combinations with an international dimension.

All these problems and their solutions should be seen in the Christian perspective of the future. This is dominated by the next great events in the plan of salvation: The Second Coming of Jesus Christ, the First Resurrection and the beginning of the Millenium.

This perspective gives us hope in all calamities. It also gives us direction what ought to be done or not to be done in the fields of our responsibility.

Holy Scripture

This is my work and my glory

to bring to pass the immortality

and eternal life of man.

(Elohim to Moses in Moses 1:39).

Elohim could have added:

Thereby I civilize the universe.

Blessed are they that wash their garments in my blood that they may have right to the tree of life and may enter in through the gates into the city.

(Revelation 22:14, translated from the Greek original)

Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shined. Our God shall come and shall not keep silence. A Fire shall devvour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.

(Psalm 50:2-3)

"in that moment, the Holy Spirit affirmed two things to me. First, the work of ministering to temporal needs is vital and must continue. The second was unexpected, yet powerful and clear. It was this: beyond selfless service, it is supremely important to prepare the world for the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ."
