Getting Closer

 As we watch the days go by, we are getting closer to Christ return. The middle east is in turmoil, the worlds economies are crumbling and people are looking for answers. As a believer in Jesus Christ, I look to the Word of God for answers.
 Living here in America, I never thought America would not be a major player in end times prophecy. I always thought America would keep God at the center of our policy making as well as international decision making. Over the last few decades our legal system has passed laws contrary to Gods  laws. Abortion, same sex marriage to name a couple. We are not supporting Israel like we should so why would we expect God to continue to bless our nation?
 As Christians we are told to be looking for Jesus return, not for signs. We are to be able to discern the signs of the times but not necessarily to look for them. The signs are for the Jews to be looking for as we get closer to the time when Jesus will rule here on earth through the millennium. But before the millennium, the earth will go through a time of great tribulations as God pours out His wrath on earth against those who have chosen to reject Him. I believe the church will be raptured out of here before the 7 year Tribulation period begins.
I know there are many who think the church will go through the tribulations or at least part of it, but that's not how I read the Scriptures. In either case, if you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you know your eternal destination.
  Believe on Jesus today while there is still time. Jesus left heaven to be born of the virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life and was crucified on the cross for the sins of the world. He was buried in a tomb, and after three days and nights He rose from the dead, He ascended into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. If you believe on Jesus as Lord and Savior, your sins will be forgiven, if you don't believe Jesus as Lord and Savior, you'll pay the price yourself and be separated from God for eternity in Hell. Do it today!
John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 

God Bless You
