All the above, the “birth pangs,” as they are known, are happening now and increasingly so. These prophetic, biblical signs are what Jesus spoke of two thousand years ago. You'd have to have been living under a rock the past several years not to see that the world, as we knew it, is not what it once was. “Normal” has gone bye-bye.
I truly believe, what Jesus promised through the Apostle Paul, that the Church, His Bride, will soon be “caught up” to be with the Lord forever.
Then
we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in
the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with
the Lord. —1 Thessalonians 4:17
And those who don’t know the Lord will tragically be left to face seven years of God’s wrath upon the earth.
For then
there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the
beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened. —Matthew 24:21-22
Now is the time to get right with God. Now is the time to turn to Jesus Christ and be saved. He is the only way, truth and life. No one comes to the Father except through Him. No one will get to Heaven except through Jesus. He suffered greatly, shed His blood on Calvary’s cross and created the way for you and me to be reconciled to God, to be forgiven and justified. And it is by faith in Him and what He did that saves us.
For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God; it is not from works, so that no one can boast. —Ephesians 2:8-9
God made salvation unto eternal life so easy for us... because it cost Him so much. It is by and through His grace. It’s a gift, so it must be received by faith. Think of it like winning the lottery. There's a check for a million bucks waiting for you, but you need to accept the check.
Everyone will experience eternal life. Death and the grave are not the final stage. The question is where you will spend eternity? Heaven or Hell? God honors your choice. Please choose Him. Believe in Jesus and all He did for you.
I'll be praying for you.
