The signs appear to indicate that the Rapture and Second Coming are close, and that will be a time of climate change, nuclear war, pestilences, famine, disasters, and hardship unlike anything the world has ever experienced.
The world is becoming a very dark place to live. In my lifetime, I’ve seen so much change in people’s attitudes, and very little is good.
In this world, we are warned about many things. Geologists warn us that a major earthquake could strike at any time. The San Andreas fault is way overdue to shake California. The New Madrid Fault along the Mississippi River seems to be giving warnings of an upcoming large quake.
The news is bad. Everything is doom and gloom and depression hangs heavy over the population. The political climate in the United States is ugly. And I get very discouraged when I listen to all the political babbling. A crazy young man who may or may not have been acting alone tried to assassinate Mr. Trump. What do many of the loony liberals say? “I’m sorry he missed”. That’s just cold-hearted. They take a miracle of God and turn it into something evil. In speaking of the end of days, Jesus said “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” Matthew 24:12.
Christians won’t be here for the Tribulation, and we should be full of worship and praise for our Lord because of this. We must put our faith in Jesus Christ, because if we put our faith in a man, he just might be the Anti-Christ.
Because of America’s long history of peace and security, most of its citizens live with what’s called a “normalcy bias.” As a result, even many Christians label those of us who warn of the dangers inherent in a world speeding toward the Tribulation period as “conspiracy theorists.”
Many within the Pre-Trib Rapture belief camp understand that the Rapture is dealt with in Jesus’ Olivet Discourse. My dear friend, the late Dave Hunt, gave an excellent session on the subject, which he was assigned to address at a conference.
Even a secular organization, which goes by the name of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, recognizes the nearness of the catastrophic events of the Day of the Lord. On January 23, 2024, they reset their “Doomsday Clock” at ninety seconds to midnight.
Here it is, a brand-new year. What will you do with it? What will the new year bring? It’s always good to take a look at your life and see what you might need to work on for the coming year.
