Imagine all of human history being suspended and perfectly balanced on a fulcrum. The birth of Jesus Christ IS this fulcrum…It literally SPLIT time in two (BC and AD), so even those who don’t accept Jesus as Lord…do honor Him, so to speak, every time they write a date.
Secondly, in Isaiah 45:22-24 and Romans 14:11, God doubly confirms that every knee shall bow to Him and the Lord of His salvation, Jesus. It’s a “Pay me now, or pay me later, but you will pay!” scenario. We either bow and accept Him as Savior now, or bow to Him as our Judge later.
Look to Me, and be saved, all you ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other. I have sworn by Myself; the word has gone out of My mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, that to Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall take an oath. He shall say, ‘ Surely in the LORD I have righteousness and strength. To Him men shall come, and all shall be ashamed Who are incensed against Him.Romans 14:11
For it is written: “As I live, says the LORD, Every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God.”
