It is true - and you don’t have to be a good person to go to Heaven when you die or to go up with Jesus when He comes to take all those who belong to Him UP before the terrible events of the Great Tribulation start to happen.
(these are just the birth pangs leading up to that horrible time)
In fact, we know that Jesus died for SINNERS and that’s who He is calling to come to Him - and when you do - He will in no wise cast you out - but He will give you the new birth, (yes, you will be born again - not like Jimmy Carter but like James the brother of Jesus who first thought Jesus was CRAZY and told his other to keep Him locked up when Jesus first started healing people and teaching people. Read the book of James which his half brother wrote - and see the transformation that happened in the life of this person who became the head of the first Church in Jerusalem).
AP now saying the Tsunami has now hit Japan but first waves are small - praise God - He is keeping the Tsunami from being that bad in Japan.
