In the church of today; we see individual converts who come from all walks of life and from all sinful lifestyles being reborn and transformed. Nonetheless, with the level of decay in the world in general at this point it would seem cruel to hold back the Day of His coming much longer even for a temporary respite. I'll leave it to the politicians to give us hope of the future. Whoever may have the better plan still isn't planning on telling us that we need to get on our knees and repent for the evils we have done corporately as a nation as well as individually that largely have led us to the state which we are in today. Those who truly repent have taken responsibility for their own participation in evil; despite whatever grievous things have been done to them.
As to this title; it reflects one of my opinions that it is in relatively good times or in prosperity that the real test of faith exists. Only those truly in the faith will continue to be obedient in a society where Christian norms and values aren't respected. Persecution brings some to true faith and refines others. Considering the warnings of the first seal in Revelation false peace is the nearest danger to come to the world as it comes forth in full measure at the first seal of Revelation. Peace is taken from the earth in the second seal; but it is entirely possible that there is some period even overlapping right before the Rapture when it appears things have started to settle down; case in point if there is some end to this Ukraine and Russia war and the one in Israel. The so called "seers" may indeed have some insight into Tribulation events; but I haven't heard anyone lately warning of false peace. It may be His coming is still too far for it to be ready to sound the alarm yet and I don't want to put my own warning up as superior to anyone else but it is strange no one seems to see that as a concern.

Keep looking up. Let us be one in the Spirit.
Sometimes it's easy to get distracted and loose focus on the present situation that the world is in.
I'm certainly guilty of that.
It's in my prayers to be more watchful and fruitful in these times.
Blessings.
