Zechariah 14:9 KJV
And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
The day we Christians look for;
The day the Lord shall be king over all the earth.
The day there shall be one Lord and His name one.
But it's not today.
The confusion that has been created by all the different forms of worship have given rise to much evil speaking about the Lord.
2 Peter 2:1-2 KJV
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
Between the growth of heathen religions in our current world and the (maybe even worse) rise in worldly forms of Christianity, it is no wonder that there is little respect for the things of the Lord. God can barely be seen through the haze of pernicious religion.
Our only recourse today is
One, to point to the one and only living God. To move away from the worldliness of religion today and come clearly to Jesus Christ. It will be a lonely place since even fundamental Christianity is merely a business today. But it is the only way to point some to know the living God and not a church system.
Two, to wait confidently for the day promised in Zechariah. God never did promise us success in this world anyway. He gave us hope instead for a world to come.
