Faith is not what we see or feel;
It is a simple trust
In what the God of love has said
Of Jesus as the Just.
This was not said by a Christian, who might be thought pessimistic and taking a gloomy view of things. The speaker was a man of the world, one in whom (as far as we know) there is no faith in God. But being an observant man, he can see the present trend of things and the course they are taking, which will shortly end in its destruction by the judgment of God.
This is a deeply important matter, and one that demands the serious consideration of everybody, especially those who are not prepared for such a terrible calamity.
You ask, “Is it really true?”
Yes, for God has said, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. (Hebrews 12:26,2726Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. 27And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. (Hebrews 12:26‑27).)
When God shakes everything, the world, as we know it, will crumble and disappear. What have you that cannot be shaken? Are you resting on the firm foundation of the finished work of Christ? If so, you have nothing to fear in view of the dissolution of everything connected with man’s world.
God has said: Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on Him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe He is precious. (1 Peter 2:6,76Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 7Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, (1 Peter 2:6‑7).)
Is Christ precious to you, my friend? Do you know Him as your personal Saviour? If so, then even in view of the destruction, which is surely and swiftly coming on this world, you need have no fear. Your destiny will be heaven, to which Christ will remove you before He comes in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
