As a Believer in Jesus Christ, I am not the one bit worried about those coming times. In fact, the Bible makes it crystal clear that in the FIRST three and one-half years of the Tribulation period, after the Anti-Christ signs the seven year peace treaty with Israel, that ONE point SEVEN BILLION people will die. It says 1/4th. With around 7.3 or so billion, that is about 1.75 Billion people dying in the first three and 1/2 years of the Trib. Everyone will be thinking that the Anti-Christ is bringing peace to the world, but this makes it clear that the world will be at war, probably nuke war that can kill those types of numbers. I firmly believe Scripture says that Christ will come for His Bride, the Church BEFORE the Trib begins. Scripture is clear on that. Some like to cherry pick a line here and there and make a different view of it, but Paul makes it clear that we will be gone before those times hit this world. So, I am not worried as my Savior will come for us and we will be out of here. The ones who deny the pretribulation rapture of the Church call it escapism. But I don’t call it that. I call it expectancy of the LORD’s appearing in the clouds as He promised. So, if you are not a Believer, please consider Him. Call on His name and be saved my friend. Then you have, as the guy used to say on TV, “No worries man.”
