Some thoughts I shared with a brother in a discussion about what is happening all around us. Your thoughts would be interesting on this matter.
God promised these things would happen in the end times. We are just shocked because we have never seen this in our lifetimes. Now we are living in prophesy just as Noah lived through the flood and Lot the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. We are there, but find it hard to accept because it is new to us.
I am convinced we are going to see the complete downfall of America and soon. I don't feel anything about it because I am not a citizen of this world. I do worry about those who are not yet saved. Will they trust in Christ because of it or become bitter even accepting an antichrist who uses fancy words to deceive them into aligning themselves as his followers?
I am also convinced the next wave of hardship will be worse than this last lockdown. It was sort of baby steps in controlling the people, the next thing will be more severe.
What should be a Christian's response to all that is happening? I think it is clear that we are not to fear it but to realize that God told us all about it through His Word, the Bible.
I don't believe Noah rang his hands in fear and frustration over what he knew was coming. He obeyed God, kept on preaching, and building the ark until God shut him and his family in for the long year ahead while floating on the top of the waters.
God told Noah to build the ark, He told him when to gather the animals, he told him when to go into the ark and when he and his family were safely inside GOD shut the door.
When we obey God even in times of turmoil we know we can trust Him. He will always give us the next step right on time.
Hallelujah!!!!
