I was reading a while back about Babe Ruth, the king of swat, the most famous baseball player who ever lived. The story goes that one day he was in a ballpark filled with people and he came to bat.
The first pitch came over and he didn’t swing. The umpire called, "Strike!" The next pitch came over and the Bambino swung and missed it. "Strike two!" The third pitch came over and he didn’t swing. The umpire said, "Strike three, you're out!" And the Babe turned around and looked at the umpire and said, "There are 40,000 people in these stands who would say that was a ball." And the umpire said, "Yes, but mine is the only opinion that counts."
No matter what the people of this world have to say, there is only One whose opinion counts. God Almighty is the One we answer to and the One who provides all the answers. I cannot wait for the time our Lord comes. Then we are going to have a New World Order when the church, and Israel, and Satan, and Jesus are all in their rightful place.
First Timothy 6:15-16 says, “Which in His [Jesus Christ] times He shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen.”
