Those who seek GOD and follow His Word on earth are still in the midst of the “world”, though trying to detach themselves from the side of this system that we know goes against GOD’s ethics and morals. The day will come when the LORD will judge the world (Obadiah 1, 15) and reign over all the earth (Zechariah 14:9), but the day will come when GOD will shake the heavens and the earth (Haggai 2, 6 ; Haggai 2, 21) and then form “new heavens and new earth.” So the LORD didn’t just create the earth and abandon us, He is letting us grow on our own, through all our countless mistakes. Yet the good news is that we are slowly making it, and for anyone who is a chronic pessimist who cannot see the Light, just look back to a few decades ago, when discrimination was absolutely greater, minorities much more oppressed than today, the powerful ungodly much less punished than today, and technology had not yet allowed us to create a network in which to navigate to study, understand, know, divulge and more, things that were previously reserved for a few are now accessible to many. But we must continue to improve, and to do this knowing what the Bible tells us about the World, believe me it helps those with a mind open enough to be able to read between the lines.

¹⁸ “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. ¹⁹ If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. ²⁰ Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also. ²¹ But all this they will do to you on my account, because they do not know him who sent me.
