Jesus Said He Did NOT Come to Make the World a “Better Place” – World Destruction is Coming and Only a Few Will Survive
Jesus Christ is one of the most famous people to have ever lived in recorded history, and billions of people worldwide claim to follow his teachings. One of the most common beliefs about Jesus is that he came to make the world a "better place", by providing an example of how to live a "Godly life," by serving others. What is truly tragic is that so few people today take the time to read what Jesus actually said, even though the records of his life and his teachings have been translated into most of the world's languages today, from the original Greek manuscripts in the New Testament portion of the Bible. I don't think that anybody who actually reads what Jesus taught, as opposed to listening to or reading what other "experts" like pastors claim he taught, could come away with the belief that Jesus came to make the world "a better place." In fact, he taught just the opposite. Here is one example from the book of Luke in the New Testament: "I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law." (Luke chapter 12) Jesus never taught his followers to "make the world a better place." He taught, instead, that the Kingdom of God was invading earth, and disrupting Satan's kingdom. The life of the followers of Jesus is vividly described by Jesus, and demonstrated by his own life and those who followed him in the New Testament documents, as a life of constant conflict, a spiritual war of encountering, and opposing, the world system ruled by Satan. Jesus never taught that we need to make the world a better place. He taught us to invade it and oppose it, until he came back to destroy it.
