The World Needs Justice
Open your eyes to the injustice around you—and reach out to our last and only hope for making it right.
In northeastern Nigeria, a farmer named Umar Bate was nearly ready to harvest and sell a bumper crop of fat watermelons. A cattleman named Musa Jabbi watched over his herd of 400 cows, growing plump on fertile plains. A fisherman named Abubakar Gamandi prepared to market a rich take of fish he had smoked. But then, as the Los Angeles Times reported, “it all went wrong.”
Boko Haram, the Islamic State affiliate in West Africa, swept through the area, plundering and killing.
When terrorists attacked Umar’s town, he abandoned his watermelons, along with 30 tons of rice and 18 tons of maize. He was forced to move into a bleak refugee camp and reduced to a life of begging. Musa lost nearly 90 percent of his cattle and had to camp on the outskirts of his town. The terrorists seized the boys from his village and turned them into their foot soldiers. Abubakar said terrorists impeded a convoy of fishermen, slit their throats, tied them up, and dumped them into Lake Chad. No one goes back to fish out of fear of attack.
These terrorists deliberately murdered or drove out Nigeria’s food producers, looted food supplies, stole and killed cattle, and forced rural food markets to close. They sacked villages, kidnapped girls and women, and killed people indiscriminately. Their campaign of terror left hundreds of thousands of children severely malnourished and caused 1.4 million people in northeastern Nigeria to flee their homes.
Why? What is their goal? They want to establish the Islamic State in Nigeria. They are resisting the nation’s Westernization by waging war against people they consider infidels. In other words, as they murder, pillage, loot and destroy, they think they are doing God’s work!
The world today has enough bad news that we can easily push it out of mind. Boko Haram barely makes headlines worldwide in the face of so many other dangerous threats. But it is real, and it is turning real people’s lives upside down, and killing real people.
We are near the fulfillment of what Jesus Christ prophesied to be a time of “great tribulation”—when world conditions will become unbearable for the overwhelming majority of mankind (Matthew 24:21). But there are people on Earth today who are already living through Tribulation-like nightmares.
You share this planet with 7.4 billion other people. All of them desperately need God. And hundreds of millions of them, right this very moment, are suffering oppression and injustice that you may have a difficult time even imagining.
Nigeria is just one tragedy in one corner of the globe that receives scant attention worldwide. Think of the 17-year-old living on the streets of Salvador in northeastern Brazil, who can only survive by doing jobs for a local drug gang—“trafficking, packing, stealing, killing.” “I had a knife, a gun, all these sorts of things, to defend myself,” he told a bbcreporter. “I could only sleep in the morning because during the night I had to stay awake. There were many dangers, someone could come and kill me.” Think of the impoverished, war-ravaged refugee in Syria who sells one of his kidneys for cash. “What can they do?” says the broker who illegally convinced him to do it. “They are desperate and they have no other means to survive but to sell their organs.”
Think of the girls in Muslim countries who are having their genitals mutilated, being forced to marry old men, or getting sold into sex slavery. Think of the women who are being murdered—Islamic “justice” for the crime of dishonoring their families—because they were raped or renounced their religion. Think of the families in North Korea who are living on $2 per month, raising children whose growth is stunted by malnutrition, because of the tyrannical regime that diverts all its resources to its military.
You share this planet with 7.4 billion other people. All of them desperately need God. And hundreds of millions of them, right this very moment, are suffering oppression and injustice that you may have a difficult time even imagining.
When you see how many people are suffering and being destroyed, you realize this is Satan’s world. He is now “the god of this world … which deceiveth the whole world” (2 Corinthians 4:4; Revelation 12:9). Throughout human history under his rule, the vast majority of people have been oppressed, lived under the boot of a dictator, languished in slavery. Billions have lived in poverty and deprivation. Billions have been undernourished. Billions have suffered from warfare. The vast majority have lived in ignorance. The vast majority have suffered terrible injustice in this world ruled by Satan the devil.
The Apostle Paul said we must not lose sight of these people. “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men,” he wrote (1 Timothy 2:1). He urged us to offer up supplications, prayers, intercessions and even thanks for all of them! We lose sight of them amid day-to-day busyness and distractions—but we must learn to think of them the way that God does: “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth” (verses 3-4).
God has a marvelous plan to extend salvation to all people. Jesus Christ died for all men, to be dealt with in due time (verses 5-6). God will have all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. But right now this world is ruled by Satan, who would have all men to suffer and be destroyed.
But God sees what is happening. And He promises to bring perfect justice—to all people.
