I always thought
of Hawaii as a green lush garden somewhat like the Garden of Eden. But, when we arrived and drove about the
Island the mountainsides appeared as dry parched rocks jutting into the sky and
the roadside grasses as browned patches among the bare dry ground. We saw workers harvesting watercress, as they
would have done in Bible times. People
with set jaws of despair, rushing traffic, filthy boarded up apartment building
with stooped men and women wandering in the streets. Later we drove through a
security gate to a resort. Instantly
everything changed. Green grass, pretty
people, beautiful beaches, and luxury abounded.
Man endeavors to camouflage our fallen world but God sees us as we are.
In Revelation 6
when the seals are opened, conquest, anger, poverty, death, martyrdom, and
disaster are released upon the earth.
Hawaii like the rest of the earth needs our Savior. We are here to tell these hurting people of the LAMB of God.
Revelation 7:15-17…He who sits on the throne will shelter them with His
presence. ‘Never
again will they hunger;-never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat down
on them nor any scorching heat. For the
Lamb at the center of the throne will be their
shepherd; He will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every
tear from their eyes.
