Sign of Last Days...

What a terrible incident! Thousands of people lost their lives from young ones to old ones. They are still searching people that were buried under those buildings that collapses. I can imagine the distress and frustration they are experiencing right now.
Why are these things happening? We've heard alot of catastrophic incident around the world. And some of us wondered "why?". The Bible foretold about the signs of the last days. The Bible uses " last days" to refer to the concluding time period to a divinely appointed execution that marks the end of a system of things. But what indicates that we are today are living in a" the last days"? The bible describes events and conditions that mark this significant time period.
  • Luke 21:11 " There will be great earthquakes, and in one place after another pestilences and food shortages".
  • Matthew 24:7 " For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be food shortages and earthquakes in one place after another".

No doubt that we are living in the last days. But we all do try to plan our lives in such a way as to protect ourselves and our loved ones. Realistic planning is practical. The Bible shows that there are wonderful things ahead, and we are wise if we plan so as to benefit from them. God promise everlasting life to those individual who are obedient and loyal to Him. John 17:3 "This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God ( Jehovah), and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ". This is the time to dig in, to meditate, to study and to know more about Him because No one can protect us from any harm except the only true God, Jehovah.

To all the people in Haiti, to my brothers and sisters, my heart is with you. You will be in my prayers.

  1. Great Post...Very significant reminder that every one needs to be ready always. Life is short and anytime, anywhere, this borrowed life will be taken. It's sad but it's real! I feel sorry for our bro and sis that suffers and I truly extend my deepest sympathy.
