Biblical
references to the end times describe
things which will come to pass and
conditions that will exist before
the world as we know it will end.
Knowledge shall
be increased. There will be a
falling away of the church. Scoffers
and false teachers will come. People
will be lovers of themselves and of
money
Well, no one
can argue that the last 50 to 75
years have seen the greatest
increase in knowledge in all of
history. The Jewish people have
gathered and Israel has become a
nation once more.
The sins of
quite a number of Catholic priests
have done more to help Satan than
the worst of criminals. Why? Because
their abominations were against
children while they professed to be in
the service of the Lord.
The Protestant
faith has by and large quit
preaching against sin. Churches are
more concerned with being
politically correct than exposing
sin with the thought of bringing
souls to God.
Sorry if I
"hurt your feelings" but:
Abortion is the
murder of a helpless human being.
Adultery and fornication are sins.
Homosexuality and other perversions
are sins. Taking anything that
doesn't belong to you, however small
or insignificant, is a sin. The love
of self, money and the things of
this world is a sin.
It has become
fashionable to consider God-fearing
Christians as backwards,
superstitious or just plain stupid.
Those who don't steal or have sex
outside of marriage appear to have
become the exception in our society.
And the Bible
tells us it will get worse.
| Matthew 24 |
James 5:1-9 |
| 2 Timothy
3:1-5 |
2 Peter
3:3-12 |
It is my belief
that the Church will not be spared
the Great Tribulation that is
coming. As individuals, our only
hope is salvation through the blood
of Christ so that we may have no
fear of the second death.
If you are a
Christian, ask yourself what kind of
servant you have been. How will you
account for your time and talents at
judgment?
If you are not
a Christian, confess your sins, ask
forgiveness and invite the Son of
God, Jesus Christ, into your heart.
His death and resurrection was for
you. He has paid your dues for an
eternal life with him, but you must
open the door to let him enter.
Otherwise, eternal Hell, the second
death, awaits you.
The Bible says
our life on earth is like a vapor.
Here one moment, gone the next. You
may not have much as much time as
you think.
