                                  Warning!
 Revelation 3:18
Because you obeyed My command to persevere,
I will protect you from the great time of testing
that will come upon the whole world.  (NLT)

     The great and terrible time of testing is drawing near.  The Lord could, at any moment, snatch up His Church and unleash His anger upon this world that hates Him.  We lost our world to Satan and it has been in decline and decay since that very day, but the Lord has numbered its days.  Although we do not know the day or hour, God has been gracious enough to give us many signs in the heavens and many messages that are written in words that we can read and understand. Many of these warnings have come straight from the mouth of God when He walked upon this earth, so it is very important that we understand who our God is, because although He is a saving God, He plays no favorites aside from His people Israel.  The Lord is perfectly divine in both His character and kingship, which makes Him perfectly just and right in everything He does. He cannot and will not let the unrepentant sinners go unpunished, for if He did He would not be who He claims to be.  Instead, He would be a liar and a fraud and that is simply not possible, because God can only be God.  He is true to His Word and you would be wise not believe otherwise!
     The way Lord Jesus is going to protect His Church (Christian believers) from the seven years of His wrath being poured out upon this evil world is by simply taking us to live in the present Heaven until it is over.  And this is where we will remain until we return with the King to set up His Kingdom on Earth forever. But until this time of great testing we have the Holy Spirit and the promises of God as our hope. If you are living in the Light of God's saving grace you are forgiven and protected.  But if you are not, you should heed the warnings that have been graciously revealed to you by your Savior.  They are not hearsay, nor are they mythical.  They are absolutely true!

                                           A Whisper of Hope
Live in Me, dear child...and I will live in you and protect you.  Do not live in the world, for it cannot protect you from the fire of My testing.  But for those who belong to Me, I have already taken their testing and have set them free from harm.

Daniel 12:1-3
At that time Michael, the archangel who stands guard over 
your nation, will arise. Then there will be a time of anguish 
greater than any since nations first came into existence. But
 at that time every one of your people whose name is written 
in the Book will be rescued.  Many of those whose bodies lie 
dead and buried will rise up,some to everlasting life and some 
to shame and everlasting contempt.  (NLT) 

 Since everything around us is going to melt away,
     what holy, godly lives you should be living.
                                   (2 Peter 3:11)
