Rapid ones

(image from google)

When I hear what is happening in the world today the following quotation often comes to mind. "Great changes are soon to take place in our world, and the final movements will be rapid ones." (9T11) Have you thought about it? In the last five months:
  • The economy has all but crashed.
  • Unemployment is the highest it has been in about 80 years.
  • Many people's wages are frozen or they have to take cuts or reduce work hours.
  • Gas prices have skyrocketed.
  • All necessary consumer goods have gone up in price significantly.
  • The government has taken over and/or controls auto companies.
  • The government has taken over and/or controls banks.
  • The government has taken over and/or controls insurance companies.
  • The USA has gone further into debt than all past administrations combined.
  • Health care is about to become taken over and/or controlled by government.
  • I hear of more crimes against family and others that are beyond comprehension.
  • More and more states are legalizing same-sex marriages.
I believe there has never been a time in history when the following was more relevant than it is today.

"...in the last days there will be very difficult times. For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control; they will be cruel and have no interest in what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act as if they are religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly." (II Timothy 3:1-5)

The rapid final movements of this earth's history have now begun.

When will it end?

In answer to your question...it will end when it's time. HIS time.

As we watch the news, we know that the end cannot be too far away. While there are still some things that, according to the Bible, must come to pass before the end time, we see that we are rapidly declining and immorality is rampant. Yes, Jesus will come in His time, and we need to be ready at all times to meet Him.
