The American society, our systems of government, money, religion, and entertainment are like the titanic cruise ship of 1911. Like nothing the world had seen up to that point.
In light of this comparison; Christians in America, who fret and panic about what satan is doing on deck. And losing our rights in society, sounds just silly.
I think we (Christians) need to take our faith more seriously. And stop loving the world systems so much.
In a sense Christians are like passengers on the titanic, except we know what is coming.
What use is there in demanding the best, high-status seats on deck? Or at dinner? Amongst those loyal to the captain? It is sinking soon anyhow. Let go of that titanic, just focus on what is important to Jesus Christ, what is important to staying alive, what is important spiritually.
In this analogy the titanic is the world system, Satan is the dense and stubborn captain headed full speed into the darkness. Scoffing that even God cannot sink his ship.
And the iceberg,…that is Jesus Christ himself! Collide with him and you are going down. He sinks the unsinkable and He crushes the uncrushable.
The reality facing Satan’s world systems…all is already lost. It is just a matter of time.
So don’t put much into your room quality on the Titanic, or your seats at dinner on the upper deck. And your general fair treatment and status on this ship. If you want to live, grab an ice pick and be ready to jump onto the iceberg.
