Exactly right - which is what it appears is happening - just as you describe it will be...at that time.
Well FRiend, it appears, we are AT THAT VERY TIME!
(sorry I did yell that)
I realize how awesome and amazing it is to actually think we are indeed at the time long foretold by the prophets of old, and by Jesus Himself - it is so awesome that many of us shrink back from believing this could possibly be true.
Believe me it would be a lot easier right now if this were NOT happening right about now!
But apparently it is.. And so, it is what it is. Nothing can change that.
What to do?
Seek His face in prayer, in reading the Bible and asking Him to direct our steps.
And believe it or not, praying that the words of our mouths (and keyboards) and the meditations of our hearts will be acceptable in His sight, our Strength and Our Redeemer!
And let no man (or woman) take offense at Jesus Christ today!
(Per J Vernon Magee’s sermon right now on BBNRADIO.org...
If we confess our sins unto God, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us of all unrighteousness!
How does He do it? By His shed blood and by the washing of our heart and mind that takes place when we hear and read and speak and sing the Word of God!
Then He gives us HIS PEACE that passeth all understanding, not as the world giveth....but He gives His peace to all His beloveds....
Thank you, dear Precious Lord Jesus!
The events of which I speak will be at a whole other level and not so easily explained.
As it is you are just one in 2000 year old line of doom saying “prophets” that do little to further Chirst work and indeed often detract from it.
Scaring people to Christ saying that the end is near is not very effective, especially when time proves the end was not even at its beginning...
