This question may be on the minds of a lot of people these days. Looking at the trouble that is happening around the world makes people ask “if God exists, why would he let this happen? If God exists, why is he so quiet?” After all, it has been over 2000 years since the last physical miracle of God…or has it?
A strong current miracle is prophesied in our Lord’s Great Prophecy. The Apostles (who knew that their Lord was to leave their midst) asked Jesus for the “signs of his returning.”
Christ’s response included: Matthew 24: 32, “Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:” Christians, in general, recognize the fig tree is referencing Israel. The miracle that happened occurred in 1948, when Israel was granted the right to be a nation again. Soon after the crucifixion of Christ, the Israelites were thrust out of their land, scattered around the world. The miracle is that they came back as a nation 1,845 years later.
This modern miracle is a strong proof that not only God exists, but that He is still in control.
If God exists, then why isn’t He healing this sin-sick world?
We have all prayed, “Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” When Christ establishes God’s kingdom on earth, tremendous miracles of joy and gladness will fill the earth. All will be resurrected (John 5:28, 29), all will receive perfect health (Isaiah 35), and all will know God (Jeremiah 31:33,34). “I will put my law in their inward parts and write it in their hearts, and will be their God…and they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me…” All mankind will then KNOW God exists!
