I think you don't understand watching. It's about holding to the faith and being prepared for Jesus to return. Not about fretting over world events.
That would describe the safe way as our goal . Use the temporal things seen to help with the unseen spiritual matters .Walking by faith mixing the unseen or heard with the eternal word of God which describes the gospel in Hebrews 4.
This is when rightly dividing between the two in order to establish one new law. The perfect "law of faith" also called the "hearing of faith" (Galatians 3) .God giving us His understanding.Oour first experience of His labor of love working in us. The same love we repent to and return.
2 Corinthians 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
But we live in a world that is turned upside down and as a majority most go for the money. A majority of Christians are in the process of learning how to walk by faith.
Voting is very personal. Even those who believe God is finished using the outward Jew to represent mankind as a whole . The attention given by the rest of the world could be used to move others to a faith that comes after the two witnesses of God. The law and the prophets (sola scriptura) .
I heard recently that in Telavi, Jerusalem there was one book store that had the new testament.
Sounds like a great place to bring the new tongue, the gospel.
I wonder if any on this message board are from that area and visit us ?
