World Water Forum and Famine

 

Under the slogan of “Water for our Future”, the 7th World Water Forum (WWF) was held in Korea a couple of weeks ago with the opening ceremony attended by the world leaders and experts from around the world. The forum is the largest international event to discuss water related issues. This year, as usual, it discussed solving water shortages and related environmental disasters, etc.

As the world is running out of water rapidly by industrialization and abnormal weather, the world comes to be afraid of water. Therefore, we need a world-wide forum or an organization to solve water shortages and related difficulties such as world wars between countries. In this respect, I think WWF has played a good role.

By the way, the Bible prophesies shortages of spiritual water as well as shortages of physical one in the last days.

Am 8:11~13 “The days are coming”, declares the Sovereign LORD, “when I will send a famine through the land – not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing words of the LORD. Men will stagger from sea to sea and wander from north to east, searching for the word of the LORD, but they will not find it. “In that day “the lovely young women and strong young men will faint because of the thirst.

Water is very crucial to all living creatures. Just like that, spiritual water is vital to the spiritual life. The Holy Book said that someday, because of not a thirst for water but a famine of spiritual water, even young people will faint and stagger. Even though the almost countries try to solve the thirst for water internationally, who can solve the shortages of spiritual water and related problems and how? The answer can be found only in the Bible.

Rev 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” Whoever in thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.

To those who are thirsty, the Spirit and bride say “Come!” It means the Spirit and bride can solve a spiritual thirst with the water of life. Who are the Spirit and bride? And what is the water of life? The Bible said that the Spirit is God the Father and the bride, His Wife, is God the Mother and the water of life is the Passover.  You can know them more exactly if you study diligently the Bible.
