the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials… <2:9>
The world of sin — learn from history:
1. The judgment of flood (v.5) — heterodoxies and fake Christianity are everywhere. We should pay attention to the advice and prophecies in the Bible.
2. The judgment of fire (v.6) — morality is losing its status and corrupt and sinful desire is regarded as normal.
Do remember that the judgment of God is coming soon. Be fear for Him!
*Robert Morrison was called by God to care for the 350 million souls in China when he was 22. At the age of 25, he translated the Bible into Chinese with mission and sailed to China. The captain asked him, “Do you think you can influence the tradition of worshipping idols among the Chinese?” He replied,”No, I can’t. But I believe He can” When he came to China, learning Chinese and preaching were prohibited by the Chinese government. He, however, he saved money to buy Chinese books and hired Chinese tutor secretly. He worked for over 10 hours per day. In 1812, the Qing Government imposed this regulation, “Anyone who publishes Christianity books shall be sentenced to death” Despite of this, his Chinese translation of the New Testaments was published in the following year.
