FUTURE;
GOD: HIS SOVEREIGNTY

First, the Holy Scriptures tell us what we could never learn any other way: They tell us what we are, who we are, how we got here, why we are here and what we are required to do while we remain here. They trace our history from the beginning down to the present time and on into the centuries and millenniums ahead. They track us into the atomic age, through the space age and on into the golden age. They reveal that at an appropriate time the direction of the world will be taken away from men and placed in the hands of the Man who alone has the wisdom and power to rule it.…

All this being true, still we Christians can sing at the foot of the threatening volcano. Things have not gotten out of hand. However bad they look, the Lord sits king forever and reigns over the affairs of men. He makes the wrath of man to praise Him and the remainder of wrath He will restrain (see Psalm 29:10, 76:10).
