Our Generation
There's a possibility this could happen again," the old man said, smiling genially. "Because in a war, you have to win."

When I first read about Iris Chang committing suicide, I though that whatever she claimed about the Japanese atrocities were just a severe case of depression. Never did I though that God would bring me to the topic.
From young, I have always been interested in unconventional weapons, especially in the area of chemical and biological weapons. The reason is that these weapons kill quietly and that buildings and other useful structures would not be destroyed. I have spent nights in fear that all this horror and terror will happen once again. And they will happen soon.
In Matthew 24 and in Revelations 7, in the scrolls, there is always the word plague and epidemics. These epidemics can be man created, as in like a terrorist decides to blow up a biological bomb and then there goes a nation.
What can we gather from all these valuable lessons? Firstly, spiritual darkness is something that is not trivial and not to be trifled. Look at the nationalists in Japan and their policy of self sufficient that led to one of Humanity’s darkest period. Look at Hitler. An unknown guy during World War I; A mere corporal. Yet in a matter of years, he rose up to the top of the German political scene. What caused all these? Hatred, loneliness, rejection, and many other things. If this is to be the chosen generation, we must certainly pray hard that there would not be a Hitler or Stalin in the making. Secondly, there is a need to win souls for the Lord Jesus Christ. If this is the last minute of the last hour, everyone must see the vision that the Lord desires none to perish, but all to be saved. Salvation is indeed important, but follow up is something that is being neglected! It would be a great misfortune if we neglect and miss the point of follow up, one of the important aspects of the Christian faith. Thirdly, we need to claim the promise in 2 Chronicles 7:16" And my people who are called by MY name humble themselves and pray and seek MY face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heavens, will forgive their sin and will heal their Land." Many of us hold the mind set that prayer for the land is only "restricted" to the leaders.. We, and the we refers to everyone, even the children, needs to give up on ourselves and to humble ourselves to our knees and pray and cry for our land. Fourthly, Mentoring. None of us were ever made perfect. We all have our weaknesses. If we surround ourselves with godly brothers and sisters, the chances of falling away is very few.
Pastors, reverends and many have affirm that this is indeed THE generation. The hope of the land lies with us. Will we be a god-fearing generation, or a generation of idol worshippers and servants to ourselves? We must continue with our prayers and ask the Lord for a mighty revival, not only in the church, but also in the non believers, that they too will see and feel God’s love!
