Jesus said: and there shall be wars and rumors of wars: nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers’ places. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold and all these are the beginning of sorrows. MAT.24:3,8,12, These are very dangerous and serious times we are living in as in the days of Noah, “And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; for it repenteth me that I have made them. The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God said unto Noah, the end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. GEN.6: 5,6,7,11,13 Jesus said: But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking (partying), marrying, and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and knew not (they were ignorant & uninformed) until the flood came, and took them all away. So, shall also the coming of the Son of man be. MAT.24: 37- 39 Sound Familiar? This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God; 2TI.3:1-4 So, “be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour”. 1 Peter 5:8 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. JAM.4:7-10 There shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, where is the promise of his (Jesus) coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 2PE.3:3,4 The day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; 2PE.3:10 No wonder God's got to send the Tribulation--to purge & purify & make the Church white & get rid of their foolishness!
