Something has gotta give because of the intensity and frequency of the end time's signs: such as the earthquakes, natural disasters, and evil and chaos and violence in these last moments of the end times the Bible warned us about in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21.
Iran is throwing temper tantrums and trying to provoke the USA. Everything is converging all at once and all at the same time as the Bible prophesied about. The world in general, and the political leaders are perplexed and don't know the way out of all this mess.
"And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken."
- Luke 21:25-26
Following is a 33 minute video posted by Chad of Watchman On The Wall 88 in which he gives an excellent coverage of current events and the "birth pangs" happening in the end times. Please watch :
Now, I no longer want to dwell on the negative in this article. We cannot bury our head in the sand and pretend that the times are not serious and that events are not about to explode, but yet we need a balance and we need to look for the good. As Jan Markell has said, "things are not falling apart, they are falling into place." God is still in control and we need to look to Him for guidance, strength, and endurance. The good Lord foretold all these end time events. Therefore, the positive side of all this chaos is that we know that Jesus will be returning soon for His Bride - the true believers whom He will rapture to heaven to be with Him forever.
Now that is good news!

Yes, true believers have a glorious hope, a future in heaven with the good Lord.
"Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;" - Titus 2:13
"And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand. My Father, which gave them Me, is greater than all and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father's hand." - Jesus at John 10:28-29
Are you rapture ready?
Have you been spiritually born again by putting your faith and trust in Jesus, the Savior?
If not, then you have no blessed hope. Your eternity will be spent in hell forever. By not choosing to believe in Jesus, then by doing nothing, you are still making a choice.
Being saved and becoming a child of God is not difficult. It does require faith in Jesus.
Admit you are a sinner and in need of a Savior.
Believe in Jesus and in the redemption provided by His shed blood on the cross. He took our place there at Calvary; He paid our sin debt in full. He was the sacrificial lamb.
Call on the name of the Lord. Confess your sins; commit your life to Jesus; surrender all to Him.
Then you shall be a child of God; a member of His family forever.
Jesus loves you more than you will ever know or comprehend.
He will welcome you with arms wide open in love and forgiveness.
Will you turn to Him in faith? It will mean eternal life with the Lord forever!
Romans 10:9,10,13 tells us: (9) "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (10)For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation (13) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me." - John 14:6
"Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die. Believest thou this?" - John 11:25-26
"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." - John 3:16
Have a blessed and Christ centered weekend..... and life !!
