Not yet. What is happening now pales in comparison.
But, at least you’re seeing things are happening rapdily.
I meet a lot of Americans who think things are fine; oh sure a few things cost more but they are “informed” because they watch the nightly “news”.
When I watch the prophecy shows on Christian TV, I envision big screen monsters and utter helplessness on our part.
However, I think of the Tribulation a bit differently.
I believe that Our Lord has been preparing us for the long haul over the last 40 years precisely to ready us for the big fight.
We will be ready for the fight and He will decisively win and it will be quick.
He said that he would return as a thief in the night and he wants us to have our oil lamps full (meaning filled with His grace) so that we will share in the fight and in His victory.
I know that is not part of the general narrative we hear from the preachers, but it is the one that makes the most sense to me.
I will be ready for whatever happens - and I am not buying gold, guns or dehydrated food.
