The Most Useless Question of the End Times

shrug

The most useless question for the end times is really a RHETORICAL QUESTION.

rhetorical question:

  1. A question posed only for dramatic or persuasive effect.
  2. (colloquial) A question to which the asker does not expect an answer.

That most useless of question is:

“What else can I do?”

This is not so much a question as a statement of acceptance; of resignation.

“What else can I do?”

“And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”
–Revelation 13:4,8

When the man of sin institutes his worldwide program of satanic idol worship, ALL who “dwell upon the earth” will bow their knees and worship Satan’s idol.  Some of these idolaters will act as though they have NO other alternative but to bow to Satan.

“What else can I do?”

“And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”
–Revelation 13:13-18

Their question (to which they actually do NOT want an answer) will usually be accompanied by a shrug of the shoulders and perhaps a roll of the eyes.  They are basically saying “I have to do this.  I have no other choices . What else can I do?”

He might even tell you his sad story about not being able to get prescriptions for his mother (or some other close family member or himself) if he does not accept the mark of the beast.

“What else can I do?”

As stated, this is not so much a real question as a statement:  “I have considered it and my mind is made up. Heaven, hell, the Bible, Jesus: that’s all conjecture; speculation; a guess.  I’ve got to worry about the here-and-now.”

“What else can I do?”

This is the admission by a poor, lost soul that he is quite happy to exchange an eternity of torment (which is HARD to wrap one’s head around, but EASY to deny) for a more comfortable now.

“What else can I do?”

The reader should pray that he never hears those awful words in the end times.

It is the sound of a great eternal defeat for the one who utters them.

DOES the reader consider his eternal fate OR does the reader usually only look at the immediate future here in this present life?

It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST

“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
