To This End Was I Born
(John 18:37)
Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. (John 18:37)

The KING of Another World
Since footprints are very important both in the SEEN and the UNSEEN, we can answer the great question from modern man, Are we alone? The answer is NO! The UNSEEN dominion is just as real as the SEEN. (Hebrews 11:1) God, the Creator of all things (Hebrews 11:3) created a dominion much greater than the kingdoms of man or the so-called ‘great societies.’ His eternal kingdom is hidden from the eyes of man. The vastness of His kingdom knows NO end by any measurement of man whether it is time or space. His angels alone are innumerable. This presents the question; I wonder how the dust (which is man) has taken to himself such importance in judging God and God’s ways and His will? The Lord Jesus told man, all man in the span of time since the cross, that at the approaching of His second coming that there would be signs in the heavens. And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. (Luke 21:11) And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; (Luke 21:25) Are we there yet? Maybe we are misinterpreting the unexplainable phenomenon’s that have been reported such as the so-called UFO’s. Are these signs from God?
While man is still building his towers of Babel in his quest to travel among the stars, he has corrupted the earth in every way and now wants to travel the universe and corrupt that as well. In the Scriptures God allows man to go thus far and then no further. Whether it was in the days of Noah, or in the days of the kings of Israel and Judah, God measures ALL men, ALL kingdoms, and ALL societies, and He sets limits to them. They are weighed in the balance, and ALL are found wanting. As God writes history His will and purpose cannot be broken. The age of a nation, or a kingdom is according to the measurement of God, and the heart of man.
Sin is the corrupt weight of evil and when evil tips the scales then there is NO hope for repentance and goodness in that kingdom or nation, then the sword of the Lord is unsheathed upon that evil nation or kingdom. This is why we have to consider the court of Pilate.
Many forget or do not see that it was Pilate who judged his own Creator. But this is common, for many men over the centuries have stood in judgment over their own Creator, and they have perished because of the darkness of their hearts. Christ was in the court of Rome, but He was NOT of this world. He was a stranger far above any righteousness man could acquire.
● I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. (John 17:14)
● They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. (John 17:16)
● And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. (John 8:23)
