The Promises That Must Be Fulfilled 

The key to understanding history and God's activity in the earth is understanding two important parts of the redemptive story: God's promises and His covenants. God's promises are the specific commitments God has made. The redemptive story is designed to fulfill these promises. Covenants are agreements God has made with His people that include terms, conditions, and promises. Biblical covenants describe how God relates to His people and determine  how His promises are fulfilled and how the redemptive story will conclude.

These promises have the following key characteristics:

• They are made by God and secured by Him. Human sin does not eliminate the promises

• These promises have not yet been fulfilled, but they must be for the age to end. God's honor is at stake in the fulfilment of these promises

• Jesus secured these promises, but He has not yet fulfilled them.

• These promises will be fulfilled at the same time...

Isa 26:9  With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. 

According to this verse, one of the ways we learn righteousness in the earth is through the Judgments of God in the earth. The Moral Compass in the earth for righteousness is broken because we've allowed the people of the earth (one another), political parties, activists, left and right, societal trends, and fads to set the standards of righteousness, of what morality, justice and injustice are, as opposed to God's word.

When God's word is the standard of righteousness and justice, injustice or morality, you can be FOR people on both sides of the political spectrum, whether conservative or liberal, in a particular nation, while being AGAINST ALL the injustices on both sides of the political spectrum, because God's word is FOR ALL humanity and AGAINST ALL injustice....
