“…Jerusalem will be trampled by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. Then there will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and there will be anguish on the earth..” Luke 21:24-25
Everyone wants to know what is going to happen in the future. How will the world end?
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
-Robert Frost
Though we may not know the times, we do have an amazing volume of information about the end of the world.
We are currently in “the times of the Gentiles” spoken of by Jesus (and by Paul in Romans 11:25). Soon, however, these times will be “fulfilled”, and the last years of history will begin, years in which there will be “anguish on the earth”.
There is a way of escape! The Bible is clear that Christian believers will not experience “the wrath to come.” The rapture is the “blessed hope” for the believer. If you are not a believer, there is no hope outside repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.
Are you ready?
Father, thank you for the blessed hope I have in Christ. He is my ark that shelters me from the flood, the blood of the unblemished lamb that saves me from the destroyer. Amen.
