Warning!
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)
