He was good looking, charming, charismatic to many, INCLUDING Catholics and other Christians. Talk about deception.

Yes! God said even the most elect will be deceived. Deception is the only tool satan has. He doesn't have any power - only the power given him. Their pride will keep them from acknowledging they've been deceived. We must seek Him daily least we be deceived.

But then when all hell breaks loose.

Yes - and we are only getting a 'taste' of it now. Those who hate evil and know The Word - are very aware the time/season we are in - God's Word never fails. We will never understand the depth of His Goodness and His Love for us until we meet Him. We are truly blessed to know Him and not just know about Him. It's no wonder He tells us to pray for our enemies - and to spread The Good News about our salvation at The Cross - without Christ we are nothing. They have no idea what torment awaits them for eternity if they don't accept Jesus as Lord and Savior. And His peace, love, desire to know Him more and more and all His benefits here on earth.

Mary, we can start looking up because our redemption draws nigh! We are truly blessed!

Yes, we are. When these things start occurring, which can be an any moment, we should have His peace about them. I admit I’m worried about such things as losing my home or family members who aren’t saved, but still He is in control and I have to put my trust in Him. Thanks for your good answers! Mary
