I just ordered MacArthur's book. It's certainly needed in this day of "Left Behind" nonsense. None will be left behind whom God has ordained as His from before the foundation of the world. Christ's sacrifice is complete; finished. The war has been won. Thank you, God.

"These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." -- John 16:33.

I've purposely stayed away from this thread. People seem to enjoy frightening themselves. They should spend $8 and go see a scary movie. Then head to church and realize that God is in control of His creation. I'm sorry they miss this comfort.

"If anyone will seek to know more than what God has revealed, he shall be overwhelmed with the immeasurable brightness of inaccessible light. But we must bear in mind the distinction between the secret counsel of God and His will made known in Scripture.

"For though the whole doctrine of Scripture surpasses in its height the mind of man, yet an access to it is not closed against the faithful who reverently follow the Spirit; but with regard to God's hidden counsel, the depth and height of it cannot be reached." -- John Calvin
