Some warnings about the end times SHOULD be completely UNNECESSARY.
But, the fact remains, even though they may appear to be unnecessary, God’s Word says otherwise.
God’s Word tells the reader that ALL who dwell upon the earth WILL worship Satan and his beast.
ALL–except for those few souls who follow Jesus Christ.
” 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
Of ALL the people who dwell upon the earth at that time, surely a few of them are in their circumstance because they were physically hurting.
In other words: they were suffering from DISCOMFORT and the dragon (Satan) offered them relief.
BAD DECISIONS.
Discomfort is a temporary thing limited to a person’s consciousness, as well as his pain.
ETERNAL DAMNATION is forever. It NEVER stops.
There are other, less spiritual reasons for NOT trading relief from discomfort for eternal damnation. They include:
1- The relief promised may not be the relief the sufferer was expecting.
2- The relief promised may be NOT be a total relief; i.e., it still allows some discomfort.
3- The relief promised may not even be relief.
4- The discomfort may be physical and it may be mental or emotional–or a combination of all the above. The promised relief may not address ALL of the discomfort endured.
NOW, in the comfort and safety of one’s home, it may appear COMPLETELY self-evident that one is getting a bad deal if he trades relief from discomfort for eternal damnation.
BUT, folks won’t be living their last days’ lives in the safety and comfort of their homes. Folks will be exposed to ALL MANNER of problems…
…including DISCOMFORT.
ONE REASON WHY IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT NOT TO MAKE THIS EXCHANGE!
When the reader is suffering from physical or mental discomfort, is he willing to trade ANYTHING to get relief from that discomfort?
It is not YET too late–although time is surely running out: there is still a LITTLE 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
