Warning!

It begins with a rumbling. It is felt as much as it is heard. Something deep and distant. But then we hear it - the mourful cry of a distant train's horn.

It's a warning to those who might be in it's way. "Better move because I'm comin' through. And if you don't heed my warning, fine, you will be destroyed, along with all those who chose to ignore my warnings. Death will follow behind me. And tears."

Yikes! That sounds a little scary, doesn't it? Yet most people think nothing about the engineer's warning - the train's horn. Welcome to the world of end times eschatology.

There are many warnings in the Bible, given to mankind. Why? To tell us of God's coming judgement. Yet no one seems to pay any attention. They are the ones who will perish at "the intersection." The intersection of our lives, and God's plan.

"It shall come about if you ever forget the Lord your God and go after other gods and serve them and worship them, I testify against you today that you will surely perish." - Deuteronomy 8:19

The train engineer blows his warning horn because he doesn't want amyone to perish when his train comes rumbling into town. God gives us warning in the Bible because He too doesn't want anyone to perish when He comes.

The sounds of God's warnings are getting more frequent these days. They are increasing on their intensity and volume. Yet many think they can make it through "the intersection" before the train comes. They are fools.

“⁴²Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. ⁴³But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. ⁴⁴So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him." - Matthew 24:42-44

"In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed." - 1 Corinthians 15:52
