​What Do The Earthquakes On The Iraq/Iran Border, Massacres In America, Wild Fires, And Rumors Of War Mean For Us?
 
 
   Today’s citizens do not have to look far and wide to find fear, panic, and depression at every turn. It plays continuously on our television screens, scrolls across our laptops, displays itself on every newspaper, and seems to occupy the conversation of every co-worker around us. There are earthquakes happening world-wide from South America to the Middle East and are becoming more severe with each event. There are mass shootings and terror attacks using vehicles in the United States, killing citizens in the most brutal ways possible with no respect for location or age. Wildfires are burning their way through the dry sections of nearly every country with no remorse for the structures in its way. Rumors of wars swirl around the globe as Asia prepares for a nuclear event that could cause the holocaust of a whole section of the globe and possibly the world. The question of course is, “what does it have to do with me?”…..The answer is, “it has everything to do with us!”

   If you believe that you are immune to bad news and the events of today, consciously ignoring it for the sake of a “positive” atmosphere, you are dearly mistaken my friend. In fact, if you are living and breathing, the events of today’s world will surely have an impact on you and your family. Whether Christian or Jew, Atheist or Agnostic, you will be impacted. If you find yourself making Google searches for terms like “rapture”, “apocalypse”, or “end of the world” it will show that you are surely not the only person searching for such information. Even with all the uncertainty that today’s world offers, one thing is for certain: we are in perilous times! However, this doesn’t necessarily have to be bad news. There is a way to prepare your family and it doesn’t require you going to the store to stock up on plastic containers full of instant food mix and bottled water, it is the saving grace and mercy of Jesus Christ.

​   The intention of this message is not to scare you, but to rather inform you of the inevitable events which are about to unfold any moment. You have probably heard all of your life that, “Christ is soon to return to receive His Church.” While this is true, what usually follows is awkward silence rather than reasons, questions, and answers. To help with this, I have compiled a small list of convincing signs that prove Christ is soon to return. Although, as grandma would be quick to point out due to all the wonderful doomsday predictors of old, “ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh” (Matthew 25:13). What we do know is that we are in the age of the “coming of the Lord” so it is best not only to have ourselves prepared, but to also spread the news of the soon coming wedding of the bride (church) and bridegroom (Christ).

   Twenty years ago, when I was more concerned with riding bikes than the daily news. There were no mass shootings of innocent people, at least without motives. The Columbine High School shooting was surely scary for the nation, but I can remember how it gripped the hearts of the people and I watched as family, friends, and citizens of this nation truly mourned over those young people. Fast forward to 2017 and we see massacres on the news daily. Over 500 injured and 59 killed in the Las Vegas concert shooting by a man who’s motives still haven’t been clearly determined. What makes it even more mysterious is that the man was relatively wealthy and able to buy the pleasures of life most of us will never experience. He was a gambler and lived a very free lifestyle, but something inside of him persuaded him to massacre 59 innocent men, women, and children. A man driving a truck rented from a local retailer decides to follow a plan outlined from the internet to gruesomely mow down and kill eight innocent civilians considered by him as enemies. Wildfires continue to burn in America’s western countryside and many countries across the world taking out homes and those who have not evacuated those structures. Kim Jong Un has deliberately shot rockets towards the sea of Japan on multiple occasions, moved ammunition and troops to military hot spots, and verbally threatened the United States countless times. While there has been few actions so far to support the threats, our Word tells us that rumors of war will be rampant in the last days.
​
   In case I still do not have your attention, let me leave you with some Scripture that highlights the urgent situation we are in today. First, I want to remind you that we have an option to be saved today from the grips of evil. While nothing can ensure that your life is spared in a natural death or act of war, your eternal life will always be ensured with Christ. Many of you have heard it before…John 3:16 tell us that, “ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Why do we need the Son to be saved? Well Christ tells us in John 14:6 that, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” So, in order to get to God the Father, we have to go through His Son Jesus Christ. You might even ask, “but why do I need to be saved in the first place?” Romans 3:23 tells us that, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Today it is your choice my friend. It only takes a decision to make that commitment. Repent and seek the eternal presence with Jesus today! Click Here for more information on the gospel of Christ.
 
Scriptural Proof Of Our Current Perilous Times:
 
Matthew 24:5-8 (KJV)
 “For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.”
 
Matthew 24:24 (KJV)
“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”
John 14:21 (KJV)
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
 
2 Timothy 3:1-4 (KJV)
“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God”
 
1 Thessalonians 5:1-5 (KJV)
“But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
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.”
