TERROR, CHAOS, FEAR AND PANIC: Many man-manufactured events of the end times are but a means to an end.
“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”
–Psalm 119:105
IN TROUBLED TIMES, MANY TURN TO THE BIBLE–THEN PROMPTLY FORGET IT
In times of chaos, unrest and uncertainty–even in times of anxiety and doubt–many want to know “What does the Bible say (about the events which are taking place)?
In bygone years that usually meant a study of the family Bible.
In today’s computer era, it usually means finding a website and taking someone’s word for what the Bible declares.
THEN, the person doing the searching usually ignores the Bible until the next crisis. Mostly, men seem motivated by curiosity rather than a sincere desire to change their lives.
Not that it makes much difference: very few actually pay heed to the Bible; fewer still change their path they are walking.
Very, very few will do anything to intrude upon their carefully-constructed and collected creature comforts.
“Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”
–Matthew 7:14
Rather than look at these luxuries and baubles as a stumbling block to obtaining eternal life (as the Bible warns), the vast majority have been indoctrinated into believing they are a God-given right; a blessing; something to cling to.
Maybe even something to fight for.
When it comes down to walking the walk: most Americans do not believe the Bible–regardless of what they may privately tell their family, their friend or even themselves.
Which is tragic.
This widespread lack of belief will one of the main reasons for the end times. Men will be required to make a choice. And they will not only have to LIVE with that choice.
They will have all eternity to ponder it.
“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”
–Matthew 7:21-23
What will the reader say at that time?
Time is Running Out: Today is the Day of Salvation
THE GOSPEL
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:”
—2 Corinthians 4:3
