Eternal life resides in Jesus and in Him alone. No one else! This is true now and will also be the case after Jesus removes His true church from the earth.
In John 14:6, Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
What do people need the most? The answer remains the same as it’s always been: A clear understanding of the Gospel. By this I mean that people need Jesus, not the one that so many today create in their mind but but the One revealed on the pages of Scripture.
The urgency for everyone to understand what Scripture says about our future comes at a time when most churches refuse to talk about what the Bible says about the day in which we live.
As a result, most believers remain in the dark regarding their hope in Jesus’ soon appearing as well as the grave perils they face because the majority of the world's leaders bow before the murderous enemy of their souls.
Many today live in what I call a “bubble of normalcy” where they feel secure because of exaggerated and unrealistic expectations of either a return to normalcy or of it continuing indefinitely into the future.
Even a great number of believers reside in a world of inflated expectations regarding what lies ahead for them.
In Philippians 3:20, Paul wrote, “But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.”
The residents of first century AD Philippi understood the value and meaning of citizenship. As a Roman colony, they enjoyed many of its privileges. The also understood what it meant to be citizens of a faraway city. For us, the words bring needed reassurance of our glorious hope in Jesus’ imminent appearing.
Scripture is remarkably clear about this: the time leading up to the seven-year Tribulation, as well as the period itself, will be marked by overwhelming and widespread deception.
As we look around us, it’s unmistakable that this has reached epidemic levels, which signifies that we live in the shadow of the coming seven-year Tribulation.
I understand why so many question Jesus’ soon return given the fact that it’s been two thousand years since He promised to return.
In spite of the long wait, I’m convinced that Jesus’ appearing is imminent because of the myriad of signs telling us that the Tribulation period is right on our doorstep.
Many regard talk of threats to their wellbeing as conspiracy theories, outcomes they see as so far out of the ordinary that they cannot possibly be true. But what if they are more than just annoying musings of doomsday purveyors?
This article asks you to make the call: Are they conspiracy theories or spoiler alerts of what lies ahead in the future?
As we wait for Jesus’ appearing, our hearts often grow weary amid the rampant evil of our day and the hardships we encounter. Our cry often becomes one of “how much longer, O Lord?”
If you feel overwhelmed with life and long for our Savior to appear and intervene in our world, I am writing especially for you.
