The End of the Age
The end of the age is near, and God will soon judge the world for its sin and rebellion.
A.W. Tozer warns that the rising interest in spiritism and devil worship signals the nearing end of God's age of grace and mercy. He emphasizes that humanity's rebellion against God is reaching a tipping point, where divine judgment may soon be proclaimed. Tozer reminds us that the earth, though populated by rebels, has a divine origin and is under God's authority. He encourages believers to recognize that a better kingdom exists beyond this world, which God is preparing to reclaim. The sermon serves as a call to awareness and readiness for the impending judgment.
Text
Everywhere around us we are experiencing a great new wave of humanity's interest in spiritism and devil worship. I must take this as one of the signs that God's age of grace and mercy is approaching the end point. It tells us that the time may be near when God proclaims: "I have seen enough of mankind's sin and rebellion. It is time for the trumpets of judgment to sound!" If we are willing to add the appeals from the book of Revelation to the weight of the other Scriptures, we discover God saying to us that the earth on which we live is not self-explanatory and certainly not self-sufficient. Although the earth on which we spin is largely populated by a rebel race, it had a divine origin.
Now God is about to enforce His claim upon it and judge those who are usurpers.
He is saying that there is another and better world, another kingdom, that is always keeping an eye on the world we inhabit!
