The Times In Which We Live

Even some secular people are beginning to realize that the world is heading toward a dramatic plot like expressed in Revelation 13. People like Peter Thiel, a billionaire  in the technological field in Silicon Valley, is holding seminars on the antichrist. There is an interest in prophecy even among the secular people.

Not only am I glad to be a member of God’s kingdom of light, but also a student of prophecy. I had the wonderful privilege of knowing Tim LaHaye,  co-author of the Left Behind series, who pastored a church I attended. It was also exciting to hear Hal Lindsey speak at a  conference when I was a freshman in college, who was the author of  The Late Great Planet Earth.  Both of these books sold tens of millions of copies and were translated into multiple languages. People want to know about the future of the world and humanity. These two men have passed into their eternal home, but the interest in Bible prophecy is alive and well. Because of these two men, I have been a follower of Bible prophecy ever since my college days, and now I am witnessing all the prophecies coming together.

It is an exciting time in which to live, seeing all the prophecies converging in this generation at a very rapid rate. For those who have a personal relationship with Jesus there is a great future ahead. God has a divine timeline for the rapture of all true believers, as well as the events of the world. However, God is “stretching out” His patience as long as necessary, “not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance”(II Peter 3:9).

The turmoil among government and nations, the  lawlessness, more intense earthquakes, decline in morality, and increased evil, as well as many other world conditions, are all signs that the second coming of Jesus is very near. Christians, are we developing a longing to be in the presence of the Lord? But as long as we are still here, do we see it as an opportunity to get the truth of the gospel out to as many people as possible and in any way we can?

I personally am thankful and excited to be a part of this website ministry that is spreading the gospel to countries all over the globe. I encourage you to become a part of a ministry either within your local church or outside the church, to reach people with the good news of the gospel in the time we have left, because the “door of opportunity” will soon be closing before God‘s judgment comes upon humanity for all those who have chosen not to accept Jesus as his or her personal Savior.

“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). He will give you a hope and peace in the midst of all the world’s turmoil, and will spare you from the coming judgment.
