For all who know Christ as Savior we know He is in charge and on the throne – He never slumbers or sleeps.  But this world we live in is still called the “present evil world”  (Gal. 1:4) under Satan as the god of this world (2 Cor. 4:3-4.)  Time is clearly coming to the days spoken of in Revelation.  I believe all who truly know Christ and believe in Him will escape (1 Thess. 4:13-18) but that doesn’t mean we won’t have trials and enemies and troubles before Christ delivers us.  For those left behind, Revelation 6-19 will transpire and ALL events are centered around Israel and the nations surrounding her and the rulers of the East.  The sword is rattling – Be ready.  A dedicated Christian life is the best way to live even if Christ does not come in our lifetime.
