Hi
,
Everybody is breathing a sigh of relief as the whole Chinese virus pandemic continues grinding to a halt.
This thing was a big, scary mess, to be sure! It was like a dark monster, a mysterious mist, that invaded the land, pushing terror and alarm in front of it. It killed many people and disrupted everyone's lives. Worldwide. It dominated the news. It still does. Stories about it abounded. The fear spawned many conspiracy theories. Government and media outlets created alarming situations as they spun
out truths, partial truths, and lies. Nobody knew, or still knows, who to trust. One thing is obvious - many people lived in absolute fear, and even panic! Many immediately looked to the government for comfort, answers, and solutions.
But, this was nothing!
If people shrug off the Bible's clear teachings about origins as nonsense, they will surely shrug off the Bible's teachings about the end times as nonsense, too. And those events are right on our doorstep! The very next thing on the Bible's calendar of prophetic events is the sudden end of the church age.
When it happens, it will bring utter horror to the people of the world - just like when the fountains of the deep explosively broke open, and the world-wide flood suddenly began!
Imagine someone doing something with the radio or TV on in the background. Suddenly, the program is interrupted by news of missing people. Lots of missing people! As they stop what they're doing and listen or watch closer, the media will become choked with ever-expanding stories of people mysteriously disappearing, not just in their city, but further and further away. There will be no other
news for weeks - months! News anchors will interview "expert" after expert trying to explain what's going on. But, Godly people in the media and in government - and in churches - where people will look for answers, will be gone! There will be no trace of them! There will be no answers, no comfort!
Most people will again immediately look to the government for solutions. And, there will indeed soon be a government, a world-wide one, that will provide the solution! People will flock by the billions to that one solution! It will be the only "comfort". But, it will cost them their eternal souls!
Do you know how I know this? Because everything I need to know about origins is found in the first 12 chapters of the Bible - and the evidence for those events is staggering! And everything I need to know about how the earth will end is found in the last 22 chapters of the same, trustworthy book - the Bible!
But, that's all nonsense, right? It's all just religious hocus-pocus!... right?
Well, that choice is yours. You can believe it or reject it. But, know this --- Jesus has indeed provided the real solution: "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved". (Acts 4:12) Furthermore, it also says, "...now is the time of
God's favor, now is the day of salvation". (2 Corinthians 6:2). You do not know if you have tomorrow!
We've just experienced a world-wide "trial run". This Chinese virus pandemic was merely a tiny storm before the real storm!
