Let me preface this post by saying that I am not beating the apocalyptic war drum, I am simply sharing a Word from the Holy Bible. In this Word, the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY tells what HE has in store for the world. If you are a Christian, you believe the Word of the LORD our GOD. So let us look at the Word of GOD and see what HE tells HIS people is coming upon the earth.
Isaiah 13 (NKJV)
Proclamation Against Babylon
1 The burden against Babylon which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw.
2 “ Lift up a banner on the high mountain, Raise your voice to them; Wave your hand, that they may enter the gates of the nobles.
3 I have commanded My sanctified ones; I have also called My mighty ones for My anger— Those who rejoice in My exaltation.”
4 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, Like that of many people! A tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together! The LORD of hosts musters The army for battle.
5 They come from a far country, From the end of heaven— The LORD and His weapons of indignation, To destroy the whole land.
6 Wail, for the day of the LORD is at hand! It will come as destruction from the Almighty.
7 Therefore all hands will be limp, Every man’s heart will melt,
8 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.
9 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.
10 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.
11 “ 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.
12 I will make a mortal more rare than fine gold, A man more than the golden wedge of Ophir.
13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, And the earth will move out of her place, In the wrath of the LORD of hosts And in the day of His fierce anger.
14 It shall be as the hunted gazelle, And as a sheep that no man takes up; Every man will turn to his own people, And everyone will flee to his own land.
15 Everyone who is found will be thrust through, And everyone who is captured will fall by the sword.
16 Their children also will be dashed to pieces before their eyes; Their houses will be plundered And their wives ravished.
17 “ Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, Who will not regard silver; And as for gold, they will not delight in it.
18 Also their bows will dash the young men to pieces, And they will have no pity on the fruit of the womb; Their eye will not spare children.
19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, The beauty of the Chaldeans’ pride, Will be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
20 It will never be inhabited, Nor will it be settled from generation to generation; Nor will the Arabian pitch tents there, Nor will the shepherds make their sheepfolds there.
21 But wild beasts of the desert will lie there, And their houses will be full of owls; Ostriches will dwell there, And wild goats will caper there.
22 The hyenas will howl in their citadels, And jackals in their pleasant palaces. Her time is near to come, And her days will not be prolonged.”
Read the Book of Isaiah (Daniel, Revelation, the Gospels, etc.) if you really want to know why the world is in turmoil, and why it will get even worse. If you are a Christian, you know to expect an end of things, because GOD ALMIGHTY and Christ Jesus put forth the Word about such things in the Holy Scriptures. The end of the current state of things will be terrible, as the LORD says ‘every man’s heart will melt and they will be afraid.’
Christ Jesus came first to make known the way of Salvation. When HE comes the second time, it will be to judge the entire world with righteousness. No one will be able to stand before HIM except those whom HE has marked for HIMSELF.
If you are not sure if you will be able to stand before Christ Jesus, I recommend you begin to look about securing Salvation. You must believe that Jesus Christ is whom HE says HE is — the Only Begotten Son of GOD. You must believe that HE came into this world and was killed for our sins, and that his shed blood makes atonement for those sins. You must believe that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead and lives even know sitting at the right hand of the FATHER in heaven. If you believe these things and that Salvation is only through Jesus Christ, then confess your belief in prayer before our FATHER GOD ALMIGHTY. Cry out to Jesus and repent of your sins. Beg HIM to open your eyes and your heart and to help your faith and to set your feet upon the path HE has laid out for you. Tell HIM you don’t want the world or anything it has to offer. Tell Christ Jesus that you only want HIM. If you are sincere, Christ Jesus will answer. HE is always at the ready, seeking those who seek Salvation through HIM. Cry out to HIM and HE will answer. You must be willing to go all the way. You cannot be like Lot’s wife, regretting leaving the life you had or doubting that GOD will do what HE says HE will do for you. If you don’t have the strength, good. No one really does. But Christ Jesus strengthens us and makes us bold enough to stand with HIM with the help of HIS Holy Spirit, and HE will stand with us, even to the end.
