Isaiah 13

"Wail, for the day of the Lord is at hand! It will come as destruction from the Almighty. Therefore all hands will be limp, every man's heart will melt, and they will be afraid. Pangs and sorrows will take hold of them; they will be in pain as a woman in childbirth; they will be amazed at one another; their faces will be like flames. Behold, the day of the LORD comes, cruel, with both wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate; and He will destroy its sinners from it. For the stars of heaven and their constellations will not give their light; the sun will be darkened in its going forth and the moon will not cause its light to shine. I will punish the world for its evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; I will halt the arrogance of the proud, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. I will make a mortal more rare than fine gold, a man more than the golden wedge of Ophir. Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth will move out of their place. In the wrath of the LORD of hosts and in the day of His fierce anger." Isaiah 13:6-13 NKJV

Most everyone you talk to these days agrees that our world cannot continue on this path. The evil that permeates our country, and the rest of the world, grows like a cancer that has no treatment.
We the Church have allowed this evil to flourish by burying our heads in the sand, in stead of standing up against it. We have bought the lie of tolerance and compromise; allowing it's wickedness in our doors, now we cower in the corner, wringing our hands wondering how we got here. "What can we do?", some say, and they are the fortunate ones, for there are others that are clueless as to how far we have fallen!

Sad, also are the ones that know that things aren't right in our world, yet go through each day as they always have. They shake their heads, yet do nothing because the evil hasn't yet touched their little world; but it will! No one will be spared.

We often hear the quote from Edmund Burke who said "all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing" ; usually given by a politician campaigning for an election, with a promise of change he has no intention of fulfilling.


Well, I have good news and bad news for all of you. 


The bad first: As bad as it is, it's going to get worse! Not only will evil continue, but it will continue until God puts a halt to it. And it won't be long! The above scripture is just one of many that talks about the wrath of God. Our time is running out and soon the earth will feel His Hand!


The good news: Believers will not go through the wrath of God!   "For God has not appointed us to [incur His] wrath. [He did not select us to condemn us], but [that we might] obtain [His] salvation through our LORD Jesus Christ (the Messiah). 1 Thessalonians 5:9 Amp.


The Rapture of the Church could occur anytime! Even this week!!!
Because time is so short we all need to be about the Father's business - winning souls. 


"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."  John 3:16-18 NKJV


Repent!
Repent from your sins!
Repent from your apathy! 
Repent like your life depends on it! Because it does!


Even so - MARANATHA!
