As those who've read my posts know, I often speak about this world as having been judged from it's foundation; in other words the time of creation.

We came into this world with the power to do one thing, make choices. But in order for a person to make a choice, there obviously has to be more than one option. In this case the choice is between this created world and the Kingdom of God.

Jesus made this choice clear as was recorded in Colossians 1:13-14 NASB

The Incomparable Christ
13 For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.


We are if we choose, (that's the choice mentioned above) delivered from the domain of darkness which of course is ruled by Satan. That is why this world is referred to as having been judged. This clear choice is between the temporary world we see all around us, albeit centuries old, or the coming Kingdom of God. If you were born into this world, you WILL choose. To that end, even if one tries not to make a conscious choice by burying oneself in the affairs of this life, you in fact by default reject the tug of God on your heart. Which like it or not is your choice. With such flippancy most people just toss eternity aside with not so much as a wince.

The warring entities for your heart have two Kings. The king of this world which of course is Satan, or the King of Kings which is Christ the King. We can either try to satisfy ourselves with what this world has to offer, as is ultimately revealed as a fools errand by both those who got rich working or those who got rich by hitting the Lotto. Or we can satisfy our heart's longings with the truth of Christ, Whom is also called the Prince of Peace.

The season is Christmas. Glory to the newborn King!!!

Isaiah Chap 9
6 For a Child will be born to us, a Son will be given to us;
And the government will rest on His shoulders;
And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.
7 There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace
On the throne of David and over his kingdom,
To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness
From then on and forevermore.
