How do we cope with living in a world that appears to be on the precipice of devastation?
Since Hamas' barbaric attack on Israel, the buildup of military forces on the Mediterranean Sea exceeds anything we have ever seen in recent times. One report that I read stated that the U.S. has 40 ships, 3 submarines, 200 jets, and 40,000 soldiers on its destroyers and aircraft carriers in the Middle East. Other nations, including China, also have warships on the way to the area.
Will the terrorism spread far beyond the borders of Israel? Many believe that it will after Israel invades Gaza. Is it a time to be extra vigilant? I think so.
Some say that Bible prophecy scares people. I beg to differ. It's the news headlines of our day that frighten those paying attention. Furthermore, a look at what Scripture says about our future prepares us for what lies ahead, produces hope in our heart, and generates a peace that truly goes beyond anything we can explain.
How do we get to such a place of such confident assurance amid the violence that threatens our wellbeing?
What we see happening today is precisely what the Lord, through His prophets, said the world would look like in the end. Regardless of how chaotic our world appears, God will accomplish His purposes for both our lives and the end of human history as we know it.
The Lord's supremacy over all things resounds in the words of Isaiah 46:10, "My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose." He will not fail to bring us to glory and fulfill all His promises to us.

Yes, we welcome the day Jesus returns, the Rapture! No one wants to exist in the presence of those demons roaming Earth though, our Spiritual Battle has been on going!
Now it's time we pray more than ever for God's helping us endure this mess no one is in the mood for, in my opinion!! Watching empty vessels support demons is beyond the pale! Those whom know Jesus deserve joyful lives/living, not tolerating evil/stupidity at it's worse; we pray to rise above all this darkness, literally & figuratively! Watching clowns for Leaders on Earth is knowing how insane the wicked are, right?
We only can trust our Lord!
