9 Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. 10 And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. 11 And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. 12 And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. ~ Matthew 24:9–12
According to Jesus’ own words, all nations will unite against Christians and hate us for His name’s sake. If it is all nations, that sounds to me like this would include the United Nations. They just do not like our LORD and Savior, Jesus Christ. But why?
I’ll tell you why. It is a spiritual thing. The world has gone secular because it is run by secular men and women. And the name of Jesus is left out because that is the only name given to us by which we can be saved.
It is a name that the secular would rather steer away from. Because once you come into contact with that name, you will no longer deceive the world.

- You will no longer have selfish ambitions
- You will no longer have selfish desires
- You will no longer lie and cheat and steal
- You will no longer be bound as a slave to sin
- For whom the Son sets free, is free indeed
The world is getting darker, but we are still the light of the world, for Christ Jesus lives through us. The only way to brighten the darkness around us is to share the name of Christ with all willing to listen.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Lighten The Darkness Around You.
