I was in Hungary in August 1989, just a few months before the Berlin wall was torn down.

Budapest was full of East German citizens clamouring for visas to cross to the West; the paperwork was not forthcoming, so one day hundreds of them just went to the Austrian border and walked across. Armed guards looked uncomfortable, but no-one opened fire. The Cold War was over.

History is full of delightful moments when people think ‘At last we can build a golden future!’ But hopes like that will always evaporate until the day ‘the kingdoms of the earth have become the kingdom of our God and of his Christ and he will reign forever.’ (Rev.11:15).
