Perilous Times!!!

Needless to say there is a great deal of concern in our country over the recent developments surrounding our economy. I wonder if anyone has given it a thought that maybe God is trying to get our attention once again.

As I look back over the past several years I can see the hand of God at work, desperately trying to get the attention of America. With each unfolding event we look to God to bail us out of our trouble rather than call on him to rescue our troubled soul.

Wake up America…

From the devastation of 911 to the recent crash of the stock market, from hurricanes to tornadoes that have ravaged our coast lines and destroyed our country side, earthquakes, tsunamis, wars and rumors of wars. Yes, I believe the earth is groaning preparing to give up its dead at the rapture of the church.

Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you.5 “For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.6 “And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.7 “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.8 “All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Paul spoke to Timothy concerning the last days and called them perilous or difficult times…,

2 Timothy 3:1-5 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good,4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!

So what is the believer to do in such times? We pray according the Word of the Lord reflected in Revelation 22, praying even so Lord come quickly.
