Sudden Changes

 

I remember with fascination in August 1961 when the Berlin Wall went up.  I was in the seventh grade.  Then in October 1962, I watched as soldiers near me in Edgewood, MD went on full alert patrolling in full battle gear as the Cuban missile crisis unfolded.  When President Reagan and Gorbachev met in 1985, there was world-wide hope for a new era of peace.  As discussions with the Russians continued, Soviet Bloc nations began to defect.  In November 1989 discussions began on German reunification.  I remember how lightning-fast changes took place.  While governments held discussions, the common people simply took things into their own hands and tore down the Berlin wall.  The entire world order changed in just a few short months.  Hey, someday soon, Jesus Christ will return as King of kings and catch all of His children up to be with Him in the clouds.  Things will be totally changed.  This second coming of Jesus will be a surprise to most people.  If you are one of His saved ones, you - WE - will be snatched up by Jesus.  If you are not one of His saved ones, you will go through one of the most horrible of times ever to come to pass in the history of mankind.  Hey, this will happen!  The question is, “Are you ready?”  Read I Thessalonians 4:13-18 and then Romans 10:9-13.  Think about it … but don’t take too long.  Think and then make a decision … before it’s too late.
