If we are living in the end times, does the idea of that scare you?
I’m not going to lie to you, if you don’t have Jesus as your Lord and Savior it should. I have studied Revelation, Daniel, and the end times in the bible and for those left on earth it’s ugly.
The seven year tribulation is God’s wrath for those who have rejected him. The Last 3 and half years of the tribulation is the devils hell on earth tour, after getting kicked out of heaven.
In short, you don’t want to be here.
If you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, I believe you will be saved from the wrath that is to come.
1 Thessolonians 1:10 – 10and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.
1 Thessolonians 5:9 – 9For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
There are other scriptures also that I believe indicate Christians will be spared from the seven year tribulation. I’m refered to as a pre-trib rapture guy. I will be going over those scriptures more in future posts when I do write on the rapture. However we still can go through trials and tribulation on this earth as it states in the Bible, just like many of our brothers and sisters in the Lord all over the world are experiencing today.
What’s the difference? The Bible says the seven year tribulation is God’s wrath.
Another personal thought I’d like to share is I believe Jesus wants us to be excited about his coming again for the Church. In all honesty I trust the Lord completely and whatever plans he has for me in these last days I will do it and do it lovingly. But if the Church is supposed to be slaughtered in the last days as tribulation saints, my excitement wouldn’t be there like it is right now. I believe the scriptures give us a reason to be excited.
As I stated I plan to do many posts on the rapture in the future, but right now if you don’t know Jesus as your personal Savior I want to encourage you to do so now. There are tribulation saints that do have to reject the mark of the beast and will die for their faith in Jesus, but I believe those are new Christians that missed the rapture. Don’t miss it.
