POLYCRISIS!

Polycrisis is a word apparently coined in the 1970s.  It was needed to describe many global threats happening at the same time.  And does anyone have an answer to this supercrisis?  It would clearly need a united, one-world government to even begin to think of tackling it all.  But can you imagine the horror of a human one-world government - George Orwell's 1984 come to life?

It would probably lead to a new word having to be coined - a Polypolycrisis maybe?

Which is why we need the heavenly government - the Kingdom of God - for whose coming Jesus taught, and teaches, us to pray.  You can be taught by it and cared for now, if you wish - the good news of the Kingdom is being taken worldwide, as Jesus prophesied it would be:  And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations and then the end will come. - Matthew 24:14

The end being the end of the current wicked system of things on the earth, not the end of this lovely planet!  And our Speaker at the Hall on Sunday pointed out that the fact we need a new word to describe the system in which we are now living, surely fits exactly the time of the end as described in prophecy in the Inspired Scriptures.  

Sadly, although we had a ton of religious education at the Convent, we never touched on the vital matter of Bible prophecy.

The lovely starfish that heads the blog was taken by Himself on Paradise Reef in the Maldives.  As the Kingdom of God will soon transform the whole earth into the paradise it was always meant to be, it seemed appropriate.

The earth is so lovely.  I am looking out over a rain-soaked Green with one valiant waterproofed dog-walker and beyond to a grey Channel and sky. And it looks beautiful.
