Most Christians believe today is no different than any other previous period in human history. They remind us that there have been earthquakes, wars, severe famines, and pestilences throughout history. “So what makes today unique?” they ask.

Is Today Any Different?
I have heard it said in many ways from both Christians and pastors. They say today is no different than any other previous period in history. They tell us that just like the past, the societal trends we bemoan will correct themselves.
In other words, there’s no reason to think we live in the last days of human history. But is this really the case?

September Rapture: Hype or Hope?
From what I have read or seen on social media, most of us who are excited about the possibility of a September Rapture are not saying it will happen during this Feast of Trumpets. We avoid date-setting and agree that it’s wrong. We know that such failed predictions of the past have placed an unwelcome stigma on all of us who yearn for Jesus’ soon appearing.

The Necessity of Clinging To the Biblical Hope That Justice Is Coming
Bible prophecy matters; it’s the key to understanding the day in which we live. We need a true Scripture-based perspective of what lies beyond this life in order to make sense of our journey through it.
Without it, we would struggle to understand how a sound biblical worldview intersects with the tragedies, senseless violence, corruption, and lawlessness that are so rampant in our day.

Although we see the manifestation of all these things today, it’s but a foretaste of what lies ahead for the world after the Lord removes His Church from the world and with it, the restraining force of the Holy Spirit. Given what I see today, I shudder to think how exponentially worse life will become.
Combining the Rapture and the Second Coming Is Biblically Impossible
Do you realize that as New Testament saints, we will take part in the most astonishing and magnificent event that the world will ever see?
Revelation 19 begins with thunderous praise for our Savior followed by our celebration with Him at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Then, “arrayed in fine linen, white and pure,” we will follow Jesus back to earth riding on white horses (Revelation 19:11-16) .
What Are You Waiting For?
Our expectation is not only that of meeting Jesus in the air (1 Thessalonians 4:17), but also that of a resurrection body; one that will be a huge upgrade from our weak “flesh and blood” bodies. No matter what we experience in our current aging and disease-prone bodies, we know it’s temporary. And nothing, not even death, can change the fact that when Jesus appears, He will give us immortal bodies.
Evidence that Demands a Verdict
Similar to what Josh McDowell wrote in his book, when I place today’s signs of the last days in the scales, they tip the balance overwhelmingly in favor this being the last moments before we as New Testament saints meet the Lord in the air.
The mountain of evidence allows for no other verdict than the one that says we live in the season of Jesus’ appearing.
