I Can’t Believe this is Happening

Selected Scripture
All of my life pastors have heralded the message of Christ’s return. Like the story of the boy who cried wolf, the message has lost its affect on hearers. Te Bible specifically speaks of certain things that will precede the Lord’s return. I do not know when Christ’s return will be but it seems the events in Russia and Iran are corresponding with Ezekiel 38 and 39. Many Scholars believe Ezekiel’s War will precede the tribulation. I do not personally believe this is that war simply that the foundation is being laid for that war in the coming years. There are many views about the end times. The masses embrace pre-tribulationalism, which I believe is wrong. Many foolishly dismiss anyone who does not embrace this view as an ignorant novice of end times study. Scripture is not definitive enough about the rapture to be dogmatic about any view. If the pre-trib View is right then it is pointless for believers to study eschatology. It makes you wonder why Jesus had so much to say about the end time events. Perhaps the answer is that we are going to go through the first half of the tribulation. It has been said that more people are alive today than in all of the ages past combined. Now it all makes sense. I am not asking you to embrace a mid-trib. View, only to consider it so that if the events begin to unfold this way, you won’t feel abandoned by God. You won’t say, “I can’t believe this is happening.”
1. We have to be blind not to see the approaching return of Christ
2. Russia and Iran will invade Israel prior to the rapture
3. Be prepared for a rapture that takes place in the middle of the tribulation.
