At
first look, this may seem like a very selfish idea. “Forget everyone else, just take care of
yourself.” But in reality, until we are
secure in our own future, we cannot help others become safe in theirs. Besides, it’s only our own salvation with
which we can personally deal.
Sadly,
even when we know the truth about the status of our fellow earthlings, there is
nothing we can do to save them from destruction – they need to make the
necessary preparations for themselves.
And when they see us in a prepared state, it is hoped they will have the
desire to join us.
And
the world’s predicament is indeed bleak!
There no need to describe the handbaskets headed for Hell in which so
many find themselves. Current news and
history plainly account for the demise of so many. Nonetheless, most people will ignore any
warnings and accept evil and wickedness as the unchangeable norm.
It
is neither smugness nor conceit that enables us to know our eternal destiny.
Rather, it’s the ultimate need for self-preservation that gives us this impetus
to prepare. And thankfully God has
provided the way of escape for us now, just as he did for Noah and his family
in the Ark. Then it was the Ark, now it is the Cross of Christ. They survived
the earthwide flood, just as we can survive the fiery judgement that’s coming
to the world. There is great pleasure and peace in being prepared, as well as
tremendous joy!
But
it isn’t pleasant to think about God’s judgement – and He will judge countries as
well as individuals. So before Divine
discipline comes to the United States and other nations – save yourself. It truly will be too late for the rest of the
world!
