Nuggets from “Judgment Day: Islam, Israel, and the Nations” by Dave Hunt

One can’t play a game without rules. If each of the players makes up his own rules, there is no game. Chaos results. Who is to make the rules for the “game of life”? That is the question! Someone must be in charge. Thus, the history of mankind is all about wars between nations, between rival factions within the nations, between families, between husbands and wives, between parents and children, between brothers and sisters – and religions – to see who can make and impose the rules that everyone else must follow.

Those who want no rules have themselves made a rule that there are not be rules – and they expect everyone else to obey that dictum. Those who say that there are no absolutes insist upon absolutely no absolutes!” The anarchist himself has a goal in life – to live by his own rules. Buddha proposed that the motivation creating all of the problems and unhappiness of the human race was “desire.” He tried to deliver himself from desire and thereby to reach nirvana. But to escape desire became his all-consuming desire.

The problem between man and God is a matter of justice. We have broken God’s laws. God cannot pardon us justly without compromising His integrity – unless the penalty He has pronounced is paid in full. Only God could pay that penalty. We needed God to come to this earth as a man in order to pay that penalty for mankind. We have seen that this was the promise God made to Israel. The world needs Him to be its Messiah, or Savior. There have been (and still are today) a number of men who claimed that identity for themselves. We need not list them all, because the requirements are so stringent that only One could possibly qualify.
