There is great sorrow coming, and the Lord is using much to proclaim the warning to all who will heed it. The weather patterns, although the climatologist continue to deny it, are of the Lord, the increase in volcanic activity, the innumerable signs in the skies, whether they be identifiable or not, all are the signs of a merciful Lord not just calling His remnant to prepare, but to the lost a clear sign of imminent disaster as the world has never witnessed before approaching.
The apostacy, the great falling away, (2 Thess. 2:3) is another sign, false prophets abound, churches locking their doors, nations locking down their citizens, a global digital currency on the rise while the world’s economy prepares to collapse, “All these are the beginning of sorrows.” (Matt. 24:8) We are going to witness events on this planet that have never been seen by man before, even the plagues of locusts that swarm in some places are covering several nations at one time, droughts never witnessed before, fires of gigantic magnitude, and my friends, these are only the beginning. “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.” (Joel 2:28)
There are men and women on this planet, part of the remnant, that can testify to this truth that is happening today, they are sounding the warning, but few will listen, and even fewer will heed the call, for pride and arrogancy are eclipsing anything seen before. Those in even Evangelical churches have called teachers to themselves to scratch their itchy ears, (2 Tim. 4:3) while the lost search for a singular individual to lead them into a supposed promised land. Those who have been crucified with Christ will either die, or be raptured, none of us alive today will see the tribulation period and the wrath of God that will enfold this planet, at least not from here. We have a message to offer, and our time to do so is running short. “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” (Matt. 24:36)
We have been commanded to study the Scriptures, (2 Tim. 2:15) and in these days we must study that which we may not want to read, the destruction of nearly all life on earth, and the warning signs that will precede those days. We are not to continuously stare up at the sky, yet we are to be prepared, we are not to give the warning only, but the means of escape, the Lord Jesus Christ. What is coming cannot be stopped, and soon, even though we do not know what it is, the last warning will be given. We are to be prepared, we are to be as half of the ten virgins were, with our lamps trimmed and full of oil, that means at all times.
We must continuously be in the Word, seeking His will for our lives, always in prayer, (1 Thess. 5:17) as well as prayerful contemplation, we must pay attention to, but not be consumed by, the “news” of the world, and we must ask for a heart that can discern between good and evil, so we ourselves are not deceived by the many diversions and deceptions. We have been called to a task that I can quite assuredly say none of us wanted, that none of us would have asked for, but we are here, and it is the Lord that has decided that we should be in this time.
It is an honor and privilege to live in these last of days, we are, in a sense, the last watchmen on the wall, we have the last shift, so to speak, and we must remain wide awake, for the enemy indeed is approaching the gates.
