Pastor Kempie and I were watching “Dragnet” this morning which is a crime series filmed in 1969. In this particular episode they were discussing the decline of families, of community, and morality in the world. This was 50 years ago, 50 years! I think they would be shocked if they saw just how bad things were going to get.
The amazing thing is, the Bible prophesied about all this in 1 Thessalonians and 2 Timothy. Evans then begins to talk about the rapture or the “taking away” of the church. I believe we are so close just by looking at the three scenes of the end times he details in this section.
The great falling away and the arrival of the anti-christ
The rapture of the church
The tribulation
As I read social media, I am amazed at the people I thought were solid Christians that have totally changed what they once believed. They have walked away from the Word of God and the values of right living.
“Believe God and His Word, and the tribulation will not be your destiny.”
Luke warns us not to get so weighed down with life that we miss the rapture. Reading the way life will be during the tribulation should make us all want to know for sure that we will be outta’ here!
