This narrow way

“That which has been is that which will be, and that which has been done is that which will be done. So there is nothing new under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9.

The celebration we’re seeing in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination falls into the above category, nothing new. It has been done in the past and will be done again in the future. The Apostle John wrote in his Gospel what Jesus’ words were to the disciples concerning His impending crucifixion:

“Truly, truly, I say to you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice.” John 16:20.

John also wrote in Revelation of a time in the future when two witnesses will come to Earth for 3 ½ years to preach a message of judgement and salvation. These 2 men will be killed, and their bodies will lie in the streets for 3 ½ days.

“And those who dwell on the earth rejoice over them and celebrate; and they will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.” Revelation 11:10. The revelers in both instances are the same—the world and those who dwell on the earth. The same people we see celebrating today. But the account of the two witnesses doesn’t end there. After the bodies have lain in the streets for 3 ½ days:

“The breath of life from God came into them, and they stood on their feet; and great fear fell upon those who were watching them.” V. 11. No celebration there, huh?

The moral to the story, past, present, and future?

“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.” Galatians 6:7.
