From Beginning Till The End

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. (Genesis 1:1 ESV)

There is no book like the Bible. It tells you how it all began. It tells you how it will end.

Remember what happened long ago, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and no one is like Me. I declare the end from the beginning, and from long ago what is not yet done, saying: My plan will take place, and I will do all My will. (Isaiah 46:9-10 HCSB)

In 1989, Francis Fukuyama announced the "end of history". The free-market liberal democracy had won out and would become the world's "final form of human government." But Francis Fukuyama is now worried about democracy's future.

The whole statue was crushed into small pieces of iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold. Then the wind blew them away without a trace, like chaff on a threshing floor. But the rock that knocked the statue down became a great mountain that covered the whole earth. (Daniel 2:35 NLT)

For I will create a new heaven and a new earth; the past events will not be remembered or come to mind. (Isaiah 65:17 HCSB)

Long before Francis Fukuyama existed, the prophet Daniel already given the world a panoramic view of history. Three more empires will come after the Babylonian Empire. And then the Kingdom of God will be set up as the final form of government. The prophet Isaiah told us that God will then create a new heaven and a new earth.

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. (Revelation 21:1 ESV)
