Liking the End Times?

“Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.”

Believers KNOW that the end times are a necessary evil: a time period to be traversed in order to see the return of Jesus Christ and His eternal rule; to get from Point A (now) to Point B (the return of Jesus Christ), believers will have to go through the end times.

Believers KNOW that they will be the target of cruel and wicked men, if for no other reason than they are declared followers of Jesus Christ.

“And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.”
–Luke 21:17

Believers KNOW that they will suffer persecution, with some of them giving their lives as a testimony for Jesus Christ.

“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”
–Revelation 12:11

“And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.”
–Revelation 20:4

Believers KNOW that during the three-and-a-half-year rule of the man of sin, his complete triumph over them for forty-two months will occur.

“And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.”
–Revelation 13:5,7

“I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them”
–Daniel 7:21

“And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.”
–Daniel 7:25

Believers KNOW that the end times are like a FINAL EXAM for this brief test we call life.

Believers KNOW all of the preceding.

But, knowing all of this–and KNOWING that it is all necessary–believers (particularly the part of the believer that is flesh) still do not have to like it.

“Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.”
–Amos 5:18

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
