I am very concerned about our world and society today as it relates very closely to

"End of Days" where are we at NOW

The signs of the end of the age as we know it is already happening now. ( Matt 24:3). The next thing that will happen is the revealing of the Antichrist-which is a physical person- and very soon after that the Rapture takes place( Matt 24:40-42)(1 Thes4:16;17). When this will take place no-one knows except God The Father (Not even Jesus). We are very close to this happening. But don't try and calculate when this will happen, concentrate on preparing yourself to be in the rapture, not all Christians qualify for the rapture, only those that have overcome the flesh and their carnal nature. Once the Antichrist takes over then the first half of the tribulation starts. This lasts 3.5 yrs ( Rev 5). The rapture is not the 2nd coming of Christ. The end of the age has been prophesied for over 2000 yrs but I think that we are fairly close. We shouldn't focus on when, when, when is the end but rather on staying close to Jesus now and let Him prepare us to be like him ( 2 Tim 3:16,17) We should always keep more than enough oil in our lamps as the 5 wise virgins did. Don't be concerned about the world. I know it's scary but there's nothing we can do about that, prepare yourself for Jesus. We are only in control of our own spiritual life, no-one else's. And of course, keep praying!
