The Lord is in his holy temple; let all the earth be silent before him. Habakkuk 2:20
Citizens of the New Kingdom do not have the answer when acts of terror rock the earth. We do not know why babies are being hurt; children are being killed; seniors are being abused and people suffer horrible destruction by the hands of other human beings. We heart-wrenchingly turn our heads towards heaven and ask our King not WHY but HOW LONG; How long will these things keep happening?
Citizens of the New Kingdom remember the agonizing Friday when King Jesus was nailed to a cross by Roman soldiers after being rejected by his own people. Believers at that time turned their heads towards heaven and asked 'how could this have happened? We thought he was the hope of Israel.'
Citizens of the New Kingdom can proclaim today as we look in horror on the evil deeds of men, 'The Lord is in his holy temple; we will wait on our King'. We are confident that our King, in his perfect time, will pour out his wrath and take vengeance on his enemies. We know he can because he proved his power 2000 years ago when he walked out of a sealed tomb one Sunday morning.
