This awesome scripture in John is talking about Jesus Christ. He is the word, which was with God and the word was God himself. The word is the life which is the light of the world.

John 8:12 - ”I am the light of the world.”

Through him all things were made and without him nothing was made that has been made, this is evident from the verses on creation in Genesis 1.

Genesis 1:2-3 – 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

The word of God has creative power to create everything in the universe. His words cannot change and will stand forever. God is God because he has exalted his name and his word above all things. His words are truth and life and  are above heaven and earth. These are backed up by these verses -

Psalm 138:2 – for you have exalted above all things your name and your word.Matthew 24:35, Mark 13:31, Luke 21:33 – Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

Isaiah 55:11 – 11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. &

Isaiah 40:8 – The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.

Now when we examine John 1:2 again, we can see that the verse says “He was with God in the beginning.” And in the old testement we can see that God sent his word to the old testement people in time of need. The we saw earlier, the Word indeed is Jesus himself. Then what happened to the word? Why is it said that he was with God, in the beginning?  To understand this verse, we need to move further and read the scripture in

John 1:14  - The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.

From this verses we can find that God who is the word, who was with God in the beginning and who was God himself, became flesh and has made His dwelling among us. And He is our saviour Jesus Christ.

Thus Word was God – Word became flesh – Made his dweling among us. How does God make his dwelling in us? To find it out, go to the scripture in 1 John 4:15 – If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. The scripture further tells in John 3:36 – Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on him. By beleiving and acknowledging that Jesus Christ is the son of God, not only do you have eternal life but God himself lives in him and he in God.

So how do you acknowledge that Jesus is the Son of God and how do you get the salvation? When we search the scripture we find the answer in Revelation 12:10-11 – 10Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down. 11They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony;

Note the underlined words, that’s how you overcome satan who accuses of our sins. Eventhough we are sinners, we have salvation through Jesus Christ who shed his innocent blood for our sins. The way you apply that salvation blood to your life is through the Word of your testimony. Believe in you heart and testify with your mouth that Jesus is God and he shed his innocent sinless blood and died on the cross for all of our sins.

Jesus died so that we may live. Thus God demonstrates his love for us by sending his own son to die for our sins so that we may have life Romans 5:8 – But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. John 3:16 – For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Nobody can be saved by his own efforts. Never. However he try, he can’t be perfect. Sin entered in to human life through the very first humans Adam and Eve. Thus man is born of sin. So however perfect we try ourselves to be, we can’t be perfect up to Gods standards and no man can be sinless in his life, except Jesus Christ (who is God manifested in human form). And there is no other way by which you can be saved excpet through Jesus.

John 14:6 – Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

So if you really want to get saved and spend eternity with God, you need to repent for your sins and accept Jesus as you Lord and Savior. Once you do that, you will be born again. You may not feel anything different but your spirit will be changed and God lives on the inside of you and every born again believer. And then on, you have a friend, a companion in all your needs. No longer will you feel that you are alone. Or there is nobody to help you. He will be with you ineverything you do. It’s an exciting life full of victories, because now you are not living on your own. The creator of the universe is with you in every walk of your life, to guide you and to take you to victory and in the end unite you with him.

Are you someone who haven’t accepted Jesus as your saviour? If so, how would you like to be get saved now? You don’t need to change you name or go to church or read the entire bible to get saved. The only thing that’s require is to sincerely repent of your sins and accept him in to your lives. If you are ready to enter this awesome life, then just say this prayer out loud.

LORD JESUS, I AM A SINNER. I REPENT OF ALL THE SINS I HAVE EVER DONE. I BELIEVE YOU SHED YOUR INNOCENT BLOOD AND DIED ON THE CROSS FOR MY SINS. FORGIVE ME FATHER FOR EVERYTHING I HAVE SAID AND DONE. CLEANSE ME WITH YOUR BLOOD. JESUS, PLEASE COME IN TO MY LIFE AND SAVE ME. I MAKE YOU MY LORD AND SAVIOR. THANK YOU JESUS.

If you sincerely prayed that prayer from your heart. You have been saved and you are born again. Welcome to an exciting new life. But don’t stop there, you need advance in your relationship with God through his Word. The Word of God is freely available to you through the book of life – The Bible, Which is the word of God. Reading the bible is a must to  have a personnel relationship with Jesus. Jesus will talk to you personally through his words in the Bible. If you think you are advancing as a Christian but don’t read the Bible, then you are in the wrong track. Because…

Bible is The Word -> The Word Is God -> Jesus Christ <- In Him There Is Life <- Life Is The Light

The Light Will Save You From Darkness

John 8:12 – I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.

Jesus Christ Is The Way And The Truth

So hold on to the the words of God in the Bible and you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.

John 8:31-32 – If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

“If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable” (1 Cor 15:19).

General Douglas MacArthur (one of the generals who helped win World War II) said in a speech after the Japanese surrender: “We have had our last chance. If we cannot devise some greater and equitable system, our Armageddon will be at our door. The problem basically is theological and involves a spiritual recrudescence, an improvement [in] human character that will synchronize with our almost matchless advances in science, art, literature and all material and cultural developments of the past two thousand years. It must be of the spirit if we are to save the flesh.” It will only be of the spirit if we are to save the flesh. The flesh being saved will be that of the human trainees left over from the tribulation.

Christ spoke of the identical problem almost twenty centuries ago. Focusing on the last days, he said, “…except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved…” (Matthew 24:22). Christ predicted a time when all life might be erased from the face of this planet (the time period in which we now live). “[Seeing] then [that] all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in [all] holy conversation and godliness” (2 Peter 3:11).
In harmony with God’s time table, there will be multiple resurrections from the dead (John 5:28-29). There are some false teachers who teach that there is no resurrection of the dead (1 Corinthians 15:12).

At the last trump the dead in Christ will be raised up at the first resurrection into bodies that do not die (1 Corinthians 15:52-54). Those in the first resurrection will not experience the second death. They will rule with Christ for 1000 years (Revelation 20:6). Many coming up in the second and third resurrections will be surprised to see that they will be judged by their works (Revelation 20:12 and Revelation 20:13).

Which Works?

God will, in time, remove all rebellion to him from the face of the earth. His Son, Christ will take back the planet by force (Revelation 19:11-13) and force peace upon the earth. He will be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, the Everlasting Father, and the Prince of peace (Isaiah 9:6). And of the increase of his government there will be no end (verse 7). Individuals who overcome will be given a white stone, awarded to them by Jesus Christ himself. That stone will have the person’s new name, which will be unique in the entire universe. And no one will know the name except the one who receives the stone (Revelation 2:17).

What God has for his people is so much more than a repair job to return to an Eden-like environment. What he has planned transcends all that has ever existed. The next major positive event for the universe is the kingdom of God coming to this planet, which is the reason to pray “…thy Kingdom come.”

The kingdoms of this world will be forced to become the kingdoms of our Lord and his Christ (Revelation 11:15). The New Jerusalem will come down to this earth and God will tabernacle with his people (Revelation 21:2-3). There will be no more death, sorrow, tears, or pain (verse 4).

“Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give to you the kingdom” (Luke 12:32).

“In the last days it will come to pass, [that] the mountain of the LORD’s house will be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills. And all nations shall flow into it” (Isaiah 2:2, Micah 4:1).

“And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem” (Isaiah 2:3 and Micah 4:2).

“And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation neither shall they learn war any more” (Isaiah 2:4 and Micah 4:3).

“And they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts has spoken [it]” (Micah 4:4).

“…that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues” (same verse).

“…her sins have reached unto heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities” (Revelation 18:5).

“Babylon has been a golden cup in the LORD’s hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad” (Jeremiah 51:7).

While the City of Babylon will be a specific place on this earth, Babylon itself is a system that girdles the globe. It is the international control system in opposition to God. It was set up like that from the beginning when Nimrod established Babel, the seed that became Babylon.

“…Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD” (Genesis 10:9).

The King James “before” is from the Hebrew word “paniym”, which means, among other things, “in front of.” Nimrod placed himself in front of God, ahead of God, in essence, against God. And, Nimrod’s system, Babylon, as refined by his wife, Semiramis, became the control system opposed to the Creator God.

To understand Babylon, we must understand Babel, the tower upon which the system was founded. It was more than just a tower; it was the beginning of the control system against God. It has evolved into being the control system we see in today’s modern world: control of religion (faith control), control of media (opinion control), control of education (mind control), control of commerce (trade control), control of banking (money control), control of medications and prescriptions and medical services (drug control).

How did Babylon get started? Before there was Babylon, there was Babel. After the flood, God made a promise that he would not destroy all flesh in a flood (Genesis 9:13-15). However, many of the people were still fearful. Nimrod took advantage of this fear. Josephus describes what happened after the flood. At first many were reluctant to come down from the mountains, fearing the possibility of a future worldwide flood. This occurred in spite of a direct promise from God. When the majority of people came down from the mountains, they dwelt in the plane of Shinar, a section of territory that would comprise what was later known as a precinct of Babylon. It was a good land for farming and was filled with blessings from the ground. However a leadership arose that rejected the idea that the prosperity was a blessing from God. They believed that their own power was the proper cause of their plentiful conditions and that they were therefore under no obligation to obey God.

It was Nimrod, grandson of Ham, who incited them to exhibit such an affront and contempt of God. His philosophy was, “If you submit to God, you are a coward.” It was a philosophy of expanding self-confidence into self-worship. The building of the tower of Babel was supervised by the master mason, Nimrod. Its purpose was not just to reach into heaven (the sky). Its purpose was also to provide a place to go when the future flood arrived to drown the world. Nimrod worked on the fear people had of the flood, a flood that never came. Fear was (and is) a tool of Babylon.

The tower was made of burnt brick, cemented together with mortar consisting of bitumen, which made it water-proof. Fearful that other places might not be as fruitful and plentiful as Shinar, the majority of the people participated in the building of the tower. Nimrod controlled the people by means of the tool of fear. However, the tower-building project came to an abrupt end when God confounded their language and scattered them over the face of the earth (Genesis 11:7-9). So all the people who were participating in the building of the tower became unable to communicate with each other and, as a result, became scattered. After this time, did anyone come to inhabit the land of Shinar? Yes. Hestiaeus mentions the priests of Jupiter (a false god) took sacred vessels and came to Shinar.

Nimrod’s great uncle, Shem, is also known as Sem. He is the father of all Semitic people. According to profane history Shem killed Nimrod, cut him up, and sent pieces of his body all over the inhabited world.

This violent act had the effect of terrorizing Semiramis, Nimrod’s widow, to the extent that she turned the Babel system into a mystery, a secret system known only to the inner circle. It became the Babylonian mysteries. And today Babylon is a mystery to the majority of the world’s population who have been victimized by it. Modern education and media are, for the most part, Godless and secular.

“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient” (Romans 1:28).

This is one reason so many in the media and in education have lost the ability to maintain logical and reasonable trains of thought. Their degeneracy has developed to the level in which their mind has become reprobate. Some newcomers have not reached that point but they are told they must get with the program or get out. After years of getting with the program, they, too, lose the associative abilities one would ordinarily expect of reporters and educators.

Christ did not institute vows of poverty for himself or for anyone else. On the other hand he did not direct that his way (Christianity) should be run like a business, complete with territorial imperatives, the spirit of competition, and an overbearing chain-of-command to lord it over the so-called “laity”.

Many demons have the effect of placing an extra amount of deception into the mind of the idolater. For example, at the end there will be frog-like demons that will influence the rulers of the world to believe that they can actually fight against Christ (Revelation 16:13-14). There is an equation at work here. The more idolatry a person is involved in, the greater capacity they have for self-deception.

“Take heed to yourself that you be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before you; and that you inquire after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? Even so will I do likewise” (Deuteronomy 12:30).

At first, this may seem like someone simply going after other gods and using idols as an aid to worship other gods. The next verse makes it clearer. You shall not apply this to the true God!

“You shall not do so unto the LORD your God…” (Deuteronomy 12:31).

“For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” (Matthew 6:21).

What we treasure most will usually become the focus of our attention. This can cause us to compartmentalize our priorities. Truth from scripture may become compartmentalized to a part of our mind that contains religious thought. There is nothing wrong with doing that. But wouldn’t it be better to put it into a part of the mind that contains practical pragmatic wisdom?

Christ often condemned the religious leaders because of their lack of wisdom and the spirit of competition and their blindness. They didn’t focus properly.

“The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she arrived from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon: and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here” (Luke 11:31).

The queen of Sheba heard about Solomon and his wisdom and went to see him to see if it was true that he was the wisest man. She found he was indeed the wisest man (1 Kings 10:1-9).

“And she said to the king, it was an accurate report that I heard in my own land of your acts and of your wisdom. Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and my eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: your wisdom and prosperity exceeds the fame which I heard. Happy are your men, happy are these, your servants, which stand continually before you, and hear your wisdom. Blessed be the LORD your God, which delights in you, to set you on the throne of Israel: because the LORD loved Israel forever, therefore he made you king to do judgment and justice” (1 Kings 10:6-9).

The comparison made by Christ was that he (Christ) was infinitely wiser than Solomon. Yet the crowds of people, for the greater part, had no real appreciation of that. And the religious leaders hated him.

The same is true today. Christ is the living Word of God (John 1:1). The Bible is the written Word of God. In the pages of the Bible we have a wealth of knowledge that originates from wisdom that is infinite. But generally humans, for the most part, set Bible reading as a low priority. There are computer programs and internet links that can show and translate the various Greek texts on which the English New Testament is based. The same can be done with the Hebrew of the Old Testament. There are programs and concordances that show how specific original language words are used throughout scripture. There has never been an age in which this knowledge, in detail, was at the fingertips of humans until now. And yet most people have practically no appreciation of it.

There are two things that cause a major focus away from God: an evil heart of unbelief and a heart hardened through the deceitfulness of sin (Hebrews 3:12-13).

Scripture contains the knowledge we need (2 Timothy 3:16). To transform it into wisdom, we have to ask.

“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that gives to all men liberally, and upbraids not…” (James 1:5).

The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom (Psalms 111:10, Proverbs 9:10). The King James “fear” is from the Hebrew “yirah”, which means fear, awe, respect. Our respect for God is very important. Without it we cannot even begin to have wisdom.

During the second century, Marcion of Pontius (in West Asia) became associated with a professing Christian group in Rome. He was the son of the bishop of Sinope. He formulated the idea of the Bad God/Good God. His belief was a strange outgrowth of gnostic theology. He believed the Most High God was an inferior being. He believed Christ came to overturn the harsh laws of the Most-High God. He believed Christ was always spirit (never flesh). He believed Christ never really died for the sins of every one. He believed Christ was a phantasm. This is, of course, the spirit of the Antichrist. He thought the death of Christ was theatrical, not real. Therefore he believed Christ never suffered. He believed there was something holy about not having sex so he and his followers tried to practice celibacy. The bishops (supposedly, including his own father) excommunicated him for his odd philosophy. Ironically, years later, as the standard religion became more corrupt, the mainstream would embrace celibacy as something holy.

Marcion believed the role of Jesus was to liberate Christians from the power of the Most High God (the Father). So he thought the Father was the evil God of the Old Testament. And Christ (he thought) was the nice God of the New Testament who made the harsh God of the Old Testament unnecessary. Does this sound familiar? It certainly fits into some of modern day theology. Marcion felt that only Paul understood the teachings of Christ. So Marcion put together a Christian canon consisting of only ten letters of Paul and a modified Gospel of Luke. He threw out the Old Testament completely. He didn’t want his followers reading Matthew, Mark, John, Acts, 1 Peter, 2 Peter, 1 John, 2 John, 3 John, James, or Jude. And he certainly didn’t want them to read the book of Revelation. In Revelation there are the prophecies of God’s people keeping the commandments right up to the end. Of course, in the Bible, you can’t go further into the future than Revelation.

“And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ” (Revelation 12:17).

One time when Marcion encountered Polycarp (an understudy of John, the Apostle), Marcion said, “Don’t you recognize me?” Polycarp said, “I do indeed. I recognize the firstborn of Satan!”

Marcion was not the only anti-law advocate at the time. But he was one of the most well known. Marcion’s “canon” (the modified Gospel of Luke and 10 of Paul’s letters) was a thin book (scroll) to begin with. And from time to time he would alter the “canon”. He always subtracted from it. He never added to it. He removed those scriptures that encouraged obedience to God and those scriptures emphasizing works for a Christian to do. Thankfully, Polycarp, and later, Polycrates of Ephesus, made sure that contrived canons such as Marcion’s were exposed and rejected.

Were these compellingly and chillingly accurately prophesied in the Bible in 90 AD, 2,000 years ago,
in the book of Revelation Chapter 11?

SEE MY BOOK ‘SCIENTIFIC PROOF THAT (GOD THE HOLY) SPIRIT EXISTS – books

ORDER IT AT – bible prophecy

This Chapter Eleven of Revelation has been ‘bugging me’ for twenty-three years, ever since my discovery in that book that the Holy Spirit is ‘Seven Spirits, or a Seven-Fold Spirit’. However I firmly believe that the Book of Revelation is an ‘account of the future – in strict chronological order of events’. So here is my interpretation of Revelation 11: -

“Then I was given a reed like a staff, and they said, “Rise and measure the shrine of God and the altar and those worshipping in it. But leave out completely the court outside the shrine and do not measure it, because it was given to the nations, and they will trample over the holy city for forty-two months. And I will grant to my two martyrs, and they will prophesy for one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth”.
Revelation 11:1-3
• This chapter 11 is about buildings! ‘Temples’ – secret, sacred, buildings, too! The ‘court outside the temple’ is New York City, especially Manhattan, a leading world tourist attraction for visitors from ‘the nations’ (the United Nations even used to be based in a building on Manhattan at the time the World Trade Centre was built, 1970-1977). Yet, it is a city ‘HOLY to mammon’ – money, the ‘root of all evil’ – containing Wall Street, the world’s largest stock exchange, of which until ‘9/11’ the World Trade Centre formed a huge portion!

• For ‘42 months’ in the Bible is always an omen of Evil or ‘spiritual warfare’! It is half the Holy cycle of seven years. Seven is in fact the ultimate Holy number in all religions, and two in Occult circles the number of the Devil – Seven versus two spells trouble! 1,260 days only corresponds to 42 months of 30 days each if one works out 30 days per month as according to the ‘Numera-logical Calendar’ in Volume C Part 1 of this book… A total of seven years is indicated here by 42 months and 1,260 days each appearing. It took 7 years to build the World Trade Centre, 1970-1977, as I said above…

• The two martyrs of the World Trade Centre were indeed steel-grey in colour (‘clothed in sackcloth’) and indeed took 1,260 days to build – times two, the Devil’s number – 1970-1977…

“These are the two olive-trees and the two lamp-stands standing before the lord of the earth.”
Revelation 11:4

Strip away the façade, and the twin towers were filled with literally hundreds of thousands of miles of electrical, computer and communications cables – for as well as being computer centres for Wall Street they were also communications towers. Just like well-dressed olive trees… The largest buildings in the world at nearly a mile high and an acre each in area when built. At night they lit up the Manhattan skyline – like lampstands on a vast scale… I went to their top floor in 1980, and got a real impression of them at the south tip of the island, ‘standing before the lord of the earth’ i.e. Wall Street, Manhattan; and/or the United States of America!

“If anyone wishes to harm them, fire comes out of their mouths and devours their enemies; and if anyone should wish to harm them, thus they must be killed. They have the authority to shut heaven, so that rain may not fall during the days of their prophecy, and they have authority over the waters, to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every kind of plague, as often as they may wish.”
Revelation 11:5-6

The World Trade Centre headed up Wall Street, which headed up the economic might of the USA. These verses indicate how these forces protected themselves militarily till ‘9/11’, greatly helped by the geographical separation of that country and them, from enemies.

“When they finish their witness, the beast coming up out of the abyss will make war with them and conquer them and kill them, and their dead bodies will lie in the open street of the great city, which is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt, where indeed their lord was crucified. For three and a half days, some of the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will look on their corpses, and refuse to let their corpses be placed in a tomb, and those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and be glad, and will send presents to one another, because these two prophets tormented those dwelling on the earth.”
Revelation 11:7-10

• The beast from the bottomless pit – insane suicidal terrorism born of pure malignant hatred and possibly envy of the USA.
• Sodom and Egypt – same metre as Manhattan Island in New Amsterdam – New York’s original Dutch name when founded by Peter Stuyvesant in the 17th Century
• It took till Friday – three and half days – for the dust to settle over this atrocity, and those in Washington and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, that same awful morning
• Only the ‘earth people’ celebrated in this way – spiritual people, even including all True Muslims, mourned this tragedy

“ And after the three days and a half, a spirit of life out of God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on their onlookers. They heard a great voice out of heaven saying to them, “Come you up here!”, and they went up to heaven in the cloud, in the sight of their foes. And in that hour occurred a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell; seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest became terrified and gave glory to the God of Heaven. The second woe passed away; behold, the third woe is coming quickly.”
Revelation 11:11-14

Current estimates are that around 7,000 people will indeed have died as a result of those awful events, at the Pentagon, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and above all Manhattan Island. Again, indeed, the island of Manhattan was so badly damaged by the earthquake resulting from the collapse of the World Trade Centre, that a tenth of all its buildings have been made unsafe and so uninhabitable. All this happened after the dead indeed went to Heaven (‘in a cloud’ – of dust and flames), and their photographs were produced by grieving relatives in the streets (‘they stood on their feet’).

In today’s society, Popular belief is to deny the existence of God. Many of the ‘Intellectuals’ do not believe in God and discard God as “The fool says in his heart, ”There is no God.” – Psalm 14:1 Bible is very clear when it come to existence of God.

It is not the ignorant, illiterate, and naive who thinks there is no God, but it is ‘the Fool’. The definition of ‘Fool’ according to dictionary is the one destitute of reason, , and a person deficient in intellect; one who acts absurdly, or one without judgment.

It is quite interesting that the very reason used to deny the existence of God, are used in Bible to prove its existence. According to Bible, It is a matter of reason, common sense, and judgment to believe in God. Only those who lack these basic characteristics can deny God! Psalm 14 describes the consequences of “World without God”. It is interesting that Psalm 53 is identical to this Psalm. (probably, to drive the point home) Jesus depicted the picture of ‘Rich Fool’ who thought to, “take life easy; eat, drink and be merry. But God said to him, “You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?” (Luke 12:18-20) Jesus reminded his audience of the grave consequences of rejecting God. Paul also illustrated the consequence of deliberate denial of God in Romans. “For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools…” (Romans 1:21-22)

What would be the world without God according to bible?(Psalm 14: 1-7, Romans 1: 18 -32, Romans 3: 9-17)

There is no one who does good! There is no absolute sense of goodness!
No one understands God.

No absolute sense of morality or justice

These passages give us totally opposite picture of mankind, than what we think about ourselves. It is common belief that ‘Man is inherently good.’ ‘It is sin to call man sinner’ (Swami Vivekananda). We think high of ourselves. But our idea of ‘good’ fall far shorter than absolute ‘good’ which God desires . In conversation with rich ruler, Jesus brought the same issue, “No one is good except God alone. (Luke 18:19) If we take God out of equation, our standard of goodness will never reach the absolute ‘goodness of God’.
