This article is called, “The Emptiness The World Offers.” I know someone is thinking what are you talking about? The world is rich and has much to offer. Our life revolves around all we can get, what we need to survive, and how much we want. It is the American Dream and who wants to be homeless living on the streets with nothing. Money, power and things are the way of life all over the world, it is our way of living. Unfortunately too many believe this is success. It is goal of humans and the driving force in peoples lives to achieve, get more, and have more. And the premise is that when I reach this goal and this place then I will be happy. I work hard for it so I deserve it.
I just finished another article here on my website. It is about King Solomon in the Bible. If anyone ever had everything and more than they needed, it was King Solomon. He had wealth and riches beyond any Billionaire that has ever lived. He had the good life of every pleasure anyone could have. He had peace and no worries. His fame was great in the known world.
As Solomon stated, “I WITHHELD MY EYES FROM NOTHING. ANYTHING HE WANTED, HE HAD. AND HE ALSO FORGOT THE ONE WHO GAVE HIM EVERYTHING, AND THAT WAS GOD.” At the end of his life he was crying because all that he had was going to belong to someone else. He stated it was all vanity and totally worthless. What was Solomons real problem? He had turned away from God who had given him everything he could ever want or dream of. Some of the works Solomon did were truly amazing, but it was God that accomplished them. Read I Kings chapter 11. Solomon was left with a life of EMPTINESS.
THE EMPTINESS THAT SATAN OFFERS.
I believe the emptiness the world offers is a twin brother to the emptiness that Satan offers. I say this because they are connected. The Bible says II Corinthians 4:4 “In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” God gave us a lot of information about Satan, his fall, and how he works. Satan’s main tool he uses on humanity is “D E C P T I O N,” He being the god of this world, is so connected to this world, he holds that title. Hebrews 11:25 tells us there is pleasure in sin for a season. But there are consequences for those pleasures. Satan does not show you the temporary or eternal consequences for those pleasures. It is very hard to fight your own flesh.
When Jesus walked in this world what did Satan offer Him? Matthew 4:1-11 “Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. 3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, 6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.”
The Bible calls Satan, “the god of this world.” II Corinthians 4:4 “In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” Dear Reader Satan will always blind you to the truth of God and God’s word. Satan will always do anything to pull you away from God. The desires of the flesh is his primary tool and his deception. Just look above at what Satan offered the son of God for his worship.
In reality Satan can only offer you eternal death and destruction. To many singing artist and movie stars have come out and said, “I SOLD MY SOUL TO THE DEVIL.” Do you really believe some fame and fortune here on earth (for a short time) can ever compare to the eternal death in hell for all of eternity? Do you really believe some fame or fortune here on earth, can ever compare to the glories of heaven and God? Dear Reader, how you will regret for all time and eternity, when you get to spend eternity with Satan in the lake of fire, the one that deceived you. And this is all “YOUR CHOICE.
CONCLUSION
This life we live here on earth is short and can never compare to eternity. Each one of us is going to face eternity and there are only 2 choices. This life will not even be a “BLINK OF AN EYE” compared to eternity, think about that. There are no second chances is hell. We live in a vile, evil world at this time. It is only going to get worse because Satan as the Antichrist is going to take over this world, rule it and control it during the 7 Tribulation, coming very soon. The Great Reset, 1 world government, 1 world Religion and the 1 world money system is already in the works right now.
Christians are going to be leaving earth in the Rapture of the church-coming very soon. Then it will be a time of hell on earth-No Joke. Satan in flesh will come on the scene and take over the earth. Check Revelation Chapter 13 for more details. You can escape this and be in heaven with God.
This present Evil world only offers you Emptiness, sin and Satan. Satan will take over and be the false messiah, the Superman the world has always wanted. Then he will stamp you (like branding a cow) it will be his seal of ownership called, “THE MARK OF THE BEAST,”
Finally, and most important is this, YOU NEED TO KNOW FOR A FACT THAT JESUS CHRIST IS YOUR OWN PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOR. God is real and so is Satan. Heaven is real and so is hell. Sin has always separated us from God because of who God is. He cannot and will never accept sin but He will forgive it, because Jesus paid for sin for us. Jesus came to earth and died a cruel death on the cross to pay for our sins and satisfy God’s judgement. II Corinthians 5:21 “For he (GOD) hath made him (JESUS) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection were for us, and gives us FORGIVENESS and eternal Salvation.
It is free to us, but it cost Jesus His very life to pay for our sins. Will you bow your heart and turn from yourself and turn to God? Will you ask for forgiveness and receive Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior? Will you put your faith and trust in Jesus? I assure you on the word of God that He will save you and give you a new life in Christ. Romans 10:13 says, “For who so ever shall (ASK) call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Bow your heart and ask God. This is one prayer God will ALWAYS answer. GOD CAN FILL YOUR EMPTINESS WITH LOVE AND JOY-AMEN
