End Times?

These are scary times that we are living in!  My wife and I were wondering if we are living in the end times.  Wait, wait, don’t blow me off as a Bible-thumping kook.  Everyone knows that our world will not last forever.  We have only a finite amount of coal, oil, and natural resources.  Trees are being cut by the thousands that have taken a hundred years to grow.  Garbage is taking over the oceans.  There will be a time when things drastically change.  They are talked about in the Bible, written 2,000 years ago!  Jesus said in at Matthew 24:6&7, “And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.”  Hey, that’s exactly what is happening!   Our grocery shelves are depleted; Covid-19 is raging; earthquakes in Utah; murders and wars all over the world.  Sounds ominous.  But wait, there’s more!  Jesus is coming back to catch His people away up to heaven where they will be safe.  Are you one of His precious children?  You can be.  Hey, it may not be the end of the world … well, not quite yet, but the end is coming.  I’m glad I am ready.  Are you?
