....What also is tragic is that multitudes of conservatives are oblivious to or have very little understanding of what Almighty Gods Word has to say about events transpiring in the Last Days of godless mankind (Matt. 24; 2 Tim. 3:1-7; Jude 1:18; Rev. 6 - 19). If these truly had faith in Almighty God and believed His Word, they would fully comprehend the magnitude of the day and hour in which we are living in.
