"The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk. 21 Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts." - Revelation 9:20-21
All you have to do is watch the news these past few months to see how a plague can spread across the planet. The novel coronavirus is hardly a plague of biblical proportions, but we can easily see how world-wide death can happen.
The sixth angel mentioned in Revelation 9 will be assigned the task of killing one third of the earth's population. And he WILL accomplish that task. It will not be a good time to be alive.
There IS a way to escape the coming wrath of God, if you are still alive at that time. Become a Christian. Believe in Jesus and you will be saved. It's pretty simple. Yet people have a hard time committing to a life-altering move like that. So they wait. They postpone. One day however, it will be too late.
Of course people will say, "I don't believe in all that Bible stuff." Well, not believing in something doesn't make a truth disappear. It's going to happen, whether you believe in it or not.
Christians will not be around to see the devastation left behind by God's righteous acts of judgement. Jesus will remove us all before the end takes place.
I watched The Book of Eli movie this past weekend. It is a violent and often graphic depiction of a post-apocalyptic world. I imagine it to be a pretty accurate representation of a post-rapture society as well - everyone doing what he wishes. Almost like today!
This will not be a place for doing much "living." We will just be surviving when the end comes. If you haven't chosen Christ yet there's still time. But these last days ARE coming to an end . . . and the angel of death WILL make an appearance . . . whether you believe in Jesus or not.
If you haven't already, I hope you come to an amazing, active faith in Christ. There is such calm that awaits in knowing that all of our sins have been forgiven. And peace, everlasting peace, awaits those who trust in Jesus.
Not trusting in Christ has everlasting consequences as well. Your move.
