This blog has mentioned many times about the chaotic and dangerous times we live in now. We definitely need to "hang in there" and have endurance to cope with the stress of this evil world, and wondering if a catastrophe like a nuclear war or an economic collapse or such-like could occur any time soon. The world is in an uproar, not knowing the way out.
"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 in fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken." - Jesus at Luke 21:25-26
If you are a true Christian that reads the Bible daily and that has a strong, personal. close, and intimate relationship with the good Lord, you realize that there is hope for you and that soon Jesus will return to rapture you to heaven before things get worse.... before the dreaded 7 year Tribulation period of God's wrath upon the wicked occurs.
Following is another video by Chad Thomas in which he clearly explains the Rapture of the church and the revealing of the antichrist. I have written much previously on this blog about the things he discusses, but I thought a video would be refreshing for you; plus, it will be beneficial for any first time viewers here.
There are many first time viewers to this blog, and also many who are not saved; who have not been born again; and many who never read the Bible. I am quoting below a familiar verse to many Christians..... a verse that gives us hope and something to look forward to: a rescue from this wicked world and a trip to heaven.
"For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." - 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
(See also 1 Corinthians 15:51-53)

Titus 2:13 says: "Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ."
God's Holy Word, the Bible, gives us many encouraging verses to help us to "hang in there." Another benefit of daily Bible reading (and prayer) is you draw ever closer to the good Lord, and as time goes on you learn to love Him more and more, as well as the fact that your faith in Him will also increase.
The Bible gives us much encouragement and helps us to endure trials and hardships. Following is a 34 minute sermon by deceased Pastor Adrian Rogers on the topic of "Learning To Endure".
In the sermon above, Pastor Rogers gives us five truths learned from tests and trials: enjoyment, enlargement, enlightenment, enthronement, enrichment. He explains and gives Scriptures pertaining to these five truths. He has nothing to say in his sermon about end time events or prophecies, but I felt it relevant to our times just the same.
Learn to trust and have faith in God and Jesus, and you will be helped and encouraged beyond what you could ever expect or hope for. The good Lord will help you to endure.
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."
Hang in there!
Jesus loves you!
If you are born again, you have a wonderful future in heaven.
Keep looking up !
Keep watching!
Have a blessed and Christ centered weekend ... and life !
