They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountains: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea (Isa. 11:9).
The twentieth century saw the greatest wars of all history. There has been unheard-of destruction, yet here is this promise, and it will certainly be fulfilled in God's own time and manner. But it will be only when all shall know of the Lord. However, we have the promise "They shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest" (Jer. 31:34).
"Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom" (Luke 12:32). And that kingdom shall fill the whole earth and shall have no end (Luke 1:33). "The greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High" (Dan. 7:27). In the prophetic dream of the four-part image that pictured the world kingdoms, the fifth kingdom, which destroyed the image, was but a stone at first, cut our without hands, without any human intervention, but it became a great mountain and filled the whole earth (Dan. 2:34, 35) While the kingdom of God will sometime rule the world, it is already ruling the hearts of thousands. Jesus said, "The kingdom of God is within you" (Luke 17:21).
A Russian youth, having read the New Testament, became an objector to slaughter. Brought before a magistrate, he told him of the life that loves its enemies and does good to those who despitefully use it. "Yes," said the judge, "I understand; but you must be realistic. Those laws are the laws of the kingdom of God, and it has not come yet." The young man straightened and said, "Sir, I know that it has not come for you, nor for my country, nor for the world; but the kingdom of God has come for me, and I cannot go on living as if it had not." If we have been born into this kingdom of God, let us live as we were born to live.
MEDITATION PRAYER: "That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations" (Ps. 67:2).
