People in the know are scared. And well they should be. Last night I saw United States Senator Joseph Biden on C-span speaking to the European press -- he was pleading for Europe's help. Biden said things like:

Folks, this is a crisis.

There is a need urgently to change the environment. And, we can't do it alone.

It's time for the President to call a meeting of the major powers now.

Recently I mentioned Javier Solana's war game conducted at NATO headquarters. It was a computer simulation of what would happen if al Qaeda exploded a nuclear device in Brussels. They called the war game Black Dawn Read about it here.

The name says it all. The Western world stands on the brink of chaos. And it's my opinion our leaders aren't as much trying to prevent another 9/11 as they are trying to prepare for its aftermath.

You see, it's becoming a matter of survival. That's why we're seeing things like the Patriot Act in America and war games in Brussels named Black Dawn. And this being the case with our world leaders, we as God's people might consider what this means to us.

I believe Jesus already gave our answer to this question. You see, when I think of the coming Black Dawn, I'm reminded of something Jesus said. He said:

We must work the works of Him who sent Me as long as it is day; night is coming when no one can work. While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world (John 9: 4-5 New American Standard Bible).

This is our answer. As Jesus long ago predicted, people in the know today are scared (Luke 21: 25-26). But, we're people in the know too. And we know how this will all end.

You see, we've been given Bible prophecy for a reason. We are to use it to prove the Bible is God's Word and Jesus is God's way of salvation.

We are to show how in the ancient Scripture God picked a people and a land and said with these He was going to prove Himself to the world.

And we also are to remind this fearful world it's not only time for the foretold Black Dawn, it's also time for His Glorious Return!

Then I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, "Do not do that; I am a fellow servant of yours and your brethren who hold the testimony of Jesus; worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written,

"KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS." 
(Revelation 19: 10-16)
