"....People didn’t realize what was going to happen until the flood came and swept them all away. That is the way it will be when the Son of Man comes....."
I am more convinced than ever that we are about to see a flood come that will sweep away the sleeping.
I am becoming more and more convinced that the rise of Islam, and the embracing of it by President Obama and Progressives around the world, will usher in the counterfeit 'one new man' and that the anti-Christ will soon be revealed. In my gut I believe the 'man of lawlessness' will come through Islam and because I lean toward a post tribulation rapture I believe we must be prepared to go through the period of time Jesus spoke of in Matthew 24.
Even though a time of tribulation is at hand and persecution is on the rise for all who refuse to accept Islam there is great hope for the future. The fulfilling of scriptures foretelling the evil we are witnessing is evidence that we do not hope in vain. Jesus predicted the things we are living now and He said "When all these things begin to happen look up because your redemption draws near".
It should never be frightening to those of us who have faith in Jesus Christ because we know these things must happen before the true "One New Man" can be revealed. We know that Satan, the anti-Christ and the false prophet are just a counterfeit of Jesus Christ, His Church and Israel being united to become the One New Man.
Keep alert and pray for our eyes to be open with an eternal perspective so we do not become overwhelmed by fear for our mortal lives in the days ahead. We are not mortal beings, we are eternal and we must take hold of that perspective. It was that perspective that gave the 'Human" Jesus the strength needed to endure the suffering of the cross. He saw the future benefit to the Kingdom of His Father and went willingly to the cross and suffered a violent death.
We are a blessed generation, a generation I believe will see Jew and Gentile believers joined together as a single body. The pressure produced through persecution on both of us will inseparably merge us into one body and when we become one the return of the Lord as our head will usher in the millennial rein of Jesus Christ. Take heart His return is very near!
