The year 2017 was traumatic and saw many Bible prophecies either being fulfilled or at least in the beginning stages as current events show Biblical signs of the end times beginning to converge all at once. What in the world does 2018 hold for this planet, and for America in particular?
I am not a prophet, but I do follow Bible prophecy rather closely. Could the Rapture of the Church happen in 2018? Will America be destroyed as a judgment coming from God? Will there be an electromagnetic pulse to shut down the power grid in America and set us back to how it was in horse and buggy days? Many people are anxious and unprepared in a spiritual sense to deal with these perilous times (2 Timothy 3:1-7). Even members of churches are not prepared as they are, as a rule, not taught from the pulpit about end times events. Most churches today are asleep as to the signs of the times.
Following is a video about America's coming judgment and it features author and pastor Tom Hughes on prophecywatchers.com, which is hosted by Gary Stearman.
There are many explanations of the seriousness of our times given in the above 29 minute video and I urge you to view it in full.
Now is not the time to be lukewarm like the church of Laodicea of which Jesus said He would vomit them out of His mouth because of their lukewarmness. (Revelation 3:14-22) Many in America's churches today are lukewarm, partly because they have not been taught the "meat" of the Gospel and Bible prophecy is never mentioned to them from the pulpit. And, sad to say, many in the churches are not truly converted....are not true Christians, and they go to church for social activities instead of concentrating on a close, personal, and intimate relationship with the Lord.
It is all about Jesus !!
If you are on fire and in love with the Savior, you will be witnessing about Jesus. Your life will show where your heart is.
Jesus taught that we should be salt and light:
"Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden underfoot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." - Matthew 5:13-16
You cannot be salt and light if you do not have the Holy Spirit within you. For that to happen you need to be born again (John 3:3). To be born again, you must turn to Jesus in repentance, have faith in Him and believe He rose from the dead. (Romans 10:9,10,13). You must confess your sins and surrender your life to His will. As time goes by, you will grow to spiritual maturity.
Time is short, folks. The Rapture could occur at any time, or you could die before this day ends. If you have not been born again, you will suffer all eternity in hell.
Open your eyes to what is happening in the world and in America ! These are not normal times.
Open your heart and confess that Jesus is Lord.
You must have a close and personal and intimate relationship with God through Jesus Christ in order to spend eternity in heaven. To do this, you need to pray constantly and get to know the Lord that way and by much time spent in the Word of God.
Tomorrow may be too late !

"Then spake Jesus again unto them, I am the light of the world: he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." - John 8:12
"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
