It is well known by Bible scholars that the end times will be during a time of war in the middle East. As a result every time there is a war they cry that “THE END IS NEAR!”
Yet it has not happened yet because it will be in a time when people are not looking for it.
Amos 5:18
18Woe to you who long for the Day of the LORD! What will the Day of the LORD be for you? It will be darkness and not light. 19It will be like a man who flees from a lion, only to encounter a bear, or who enters his house and rests his hand against the wall, only to be bitten by a snake.
20Will not the Day of the LORD be darkness and not light, even gloom with no brightness in it?
Maybe it’s just me, but most Christians I talk to are still planning their next summer vacation (2024) and even a few years down the road.
I bring up Eschatology and I get that look that I’m one of “those”.
IMHO, less than 5% of Christians even know the season we’re living in, but YMMV.
It will indeed be a Day of darkness for those LEFT BEHIND.
1 Thessalonians 5:3-5
King James Version
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
