The Silence of the Lamb of God
by Jack Vorster
3/26/2020 / Christian Living
The world is silent. The merciless Covid-19 onslaught favours no-one on its path of human destruction. Work, sport and pleasure have been placed on the backburner regardless of the loss of jobs and income for ordinary citizens. Only politicians and the affluent sectors of society (covering a wide spectrum) are on full remuneration.
The thought on the minds of this spiritually dead world is to get this thing over and done with so that it can be business as usual - work and play; war and destruction; mass shootings; corruption and fraud; stock market trading; anti-government protest marches and political campaigns.
Is there a surprise in store, lurking in the wings on the stage of the world?
No doubt the present silence adhered to in the physical world will revert to the usual noise of human activity as soon as an effective vaccine has been developed. But there is another silence soon to follow – a silence in the spiritual realm. I term it the silence of the Lamb of God. “And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.” (Rev 81,2)
The Covid-19-induced silence in the world can assuredly be regarded as a ‘tester’, to see if the human race will turn to the Sovereign Ruler and Creator of the Universe in repentance and plea for salvation and healing. Alas, no such thing will happen. And then the trumpets will begin to sound. One by one, the sounding of each trumpet brings calamity upon calamity to the earth.
After the devastating events of the 6th trumpet, when a third of the human population succumbs to the judgments, there still is no repentance. “And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.” (Rev 9:20,21)
No-one wants to hear this – even if it is the truth. Well, let’s say that only the unbelieving “Bah humbug” Darwin crowd does not want any manifestation of divine reality to be applied to Planet Earth. It is too far-fetched for them and it is more likely believed that aliens from another planet are finally making a move to conquer earth. After all, all the documentaries and movies about alien abductions are deemed proof enough and the time has finally come for an all-out war against an alien invasion.
By then fallen humanity will have a leader all of their own – the Antichrist, and they will worship and follow him rather than the God of creation, who is seen as the leader of the alien invasion.
The sounding of the 7th trumpet will bring a decisive end to the folly of mankind. The frightening scenes in the movie ”2012” will become a reality. “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.” (2 Peter 3:10)
Absolutely nothing on earth will matter anymore. The rich and famous might as well start burning their priceless art collections.
The supernaturally-imposed Coronavirus crisis is the precursor to the beginning of God’s last call upon mankind – and the call is going to become louder and louder, culminating in the apex of God’s judgment where, “In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;” (2th 1:8,9)
And then...no more lockdowns...no more nothing – except a new heaven Aand Aa new earth for those who knew God and obeyed the gospel of Jesus Christ. “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.” (Rev 21:1)
