The title of this article "Is this the end of the world?" is a quote from one of the following videos. Pastor J.D. Farag says that many unsaved people are asking that question right now. If more people would read their Bibles, they would know the answer to that soul stirring question. But actually, it takes the Holy Spirit living inside a person to give them understanding of Scriptures and the Spirit only indwells persons who have been saved; in those who believe with all their heart and soul and all their very being that Jesus is the Savior, and that His death at Calvary paved the way for all who believe in Him to be washed clean from their sins, as Jesus paid our sin debt in full when He died.
The world as we know it will end; meaning this age of grace is about to end. Do some research and you will find that after the 7 year Tribulation, Jesus will return and set up His 1000 year kingdom on earth. And after that, eternity with the Lord.

The following 32 minute video by Pastor Farag touches on the coronavirus and how it is an excellent subject for believers to witness to others about Jesus. The Pastor also encourages believers by telling us that God will provide us with what we need.
There will be another video by Pastor Farag live-streamed tomorrow, 3-29-20, Sunday, at 9 a.m. Hawaii time. I will not be posting it here on this blog, so I hope that you will tune in to it on your own initiative on You Tube. Just enter "J D Farag " there and it will appear.
"But the Lord is faithful, Who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil." - 2 Thessalonians 3:3
Charles Spurgeon wrote a devotional centered around the verse above in 2 Thessalonians. I will only quote a portion of it below:
".... We are allowed to shelter ourselves in the Lord Jesus. 'Who is in truest sympathy with us.' There is one true Heart, one Faithful Mind, one never changing Love; there let us repose. The Lord will fulfill the purpose of His grace to us, His servants, and we need not allow a shadow of a fear to fatal upon our spirits. Not all that men or devils can do can hinder us of the divine protection and provision . This day let us pray the Lord to stablish and keep us."
In the past, before I knew better, every video sermon by Dr. Charles Stanley that I posted on this blog was deleted. Following is a 25 minute recent audio interview with him which is focused on the coronavirus. It is an encouraging message and I pray that it also does not get deleted (since it is an interview). If it does, then go to You Tube and enter intouchministries.org and look for it there. Actually, it might be best to go to You Tube and enter: Coronavirus: an interview with Dr. Charles Stanley.
Another sign of the approaching 7 year Tribulation period is found in a very recent article found here: https://www.breakingisraelnews.com/147691/ex-british-prime-minister-calls-on-world-leaders-to-form-one-world-government/
As many Bible scholars, pastors, and devout students of the Bible know, this One World Government occurs during the Tribulation period. If the information in the article above is correct in saying that this call right now is "temporary" ................ time will tell.
At any rate, we should realize that the Rapture of the true believers will occur soon, because it happens before the Tribulation.
"And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh." - Jesus at Luke 21:28
"Much more then, being justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him" - Romans 5:9
Romans 5:9 above is referring to those who are saved by belief in Jesus as the Savior. They will not suffer the wrath poured out by God during the Tribulation because Jesus would have raptured them to heaven prior to that.
"Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation [affliction]; continuing instant in prayer: " - Romans 12:12
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 tells us: (1) "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also you have received, and wherein ye stand: (2) By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. (3) For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; (4) And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures:"
Romans 10: 9,10,13 informs 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
"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."
Have a blessed and Christ centered weekend - and life !!
