Very well said. Thanks.

Someone FREEPMAILED me--essentially asking how such a huge devastation in the Center of the nation--the Bible Belt--would leave believers unharmed. This is my reply:

My sense from Scripture and tons of such prophecies is along these lines . . .

That MOSTLY those genuinely devoted to God; walking closely with Him etc, will be hidden IN HIM; protected by Him, His Spirit; angelic forces etc.

SOME will be called to martyrdom; many--evidently most--not. All will be tested. All will be refined.

Those pseudo believers will be in some of the biggest trouble. Perhaps they will make Heaven realizing in their death throes their errors and surrendering more completely at last.

That's as well and as simply as I can summarize it.

Does that resonate with your spirit?

It all boils down to one of two things. Either a person is going to trust in God, or NOT! There's no in-between. People can spend a lot of time trying to figure out how the Lord is going to save His people from catastrophe if they want to. But they've been trying to figure out this "evolution" thing for a long time too...and haven't made a whole lot of headway. They DID waste a lot of time, and distract a LOT of people. Distraction is a very common tactic used by the deceiver of the brethren. Unfortunately, as people, we're very distractable!

Time is way past for trying to "figure things out". The time for debate is OVER. The time for arguing is over. Oh, and while I'm at it, I don't have to remind anybody that there's NOWHERE TO HIDE. One can't hide from God! People just need to call on God. It's simple...trust the Lord Yeshua (Jesus), or DIE!

He doesn't hide His face from people down who truly seek Him. The woman makes a good point about "dying to self" though. Certainly something that we ought to consider worthwhile that we can know God the way He wants us to. :-)
