The Burning Of The Bramble

Judges 9:48, 49  

"And Abimelech gat him up to mount Zalmon, he and all the people that were with him; and

 Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it, and 

laid it on his shoulder, and said unto the people that were with him, What ye have seen 

me do, make haste, and do as I have done. And all the people likewise cut down 

every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put them to the hold, and 

set the hold on fire upon them; so that all the men of the tower of 

Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women." 

    My Friends, terrible deeds like these give tokens of the power of the god of this world, the same spirit that now works in the children of disobedience. Still similar monstrosity's are being perpetrated after all these centuries of what is called Christian civilization. But this Christianity is only a very shallow covering, and when national passions break loose, there is little to choose between war today and in pre-Christian ages.
   My Friends, Man has no right to attribute the evil mind filled with sins, and cruelties of the present day to Christianity. They are due to the absence of Christianity. The whole Gospel of the Son of man protests against them. We must sadly admit that His "enemy Satan has done this." And there will be no ending of the evils of which the world groans until the King comes to His own and sets up His everlasting Kingdom. With all the efforts toward arbitration and peace, proves that something new must be brought to pass before the Father’s kingdom can come and His will be done on earth. My friends, we now wait for that something new!! 
Amen!
