The Last Days

 Greetings to you all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,

     Matthew 24:6 says, “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.”

     My parents had an old RCA Victor Radio that stood on the floor and was about 4 feet high.  I could look the dial straight in the “face.”  It was in the early 40’s and the war was going on, that is, the big one, World War 2.  Dad was an air raid warden and every now and then the siren would blow in La Porte, Indiana adn all the lights had to be put out and Dad would  go our to try to find a house that didn’t turn off their lights and reprimand them for not doing so.  I recall that it interfered with my listening to that old radio which had a large dial across the front that was lit up like a Christmas tree.  Mom finally hung a newspaper over it so we wouldn’t get caught by our own air raid warden.

     There always seems to be wars going on somewhere in the world at any given time.  Most  recently, the number of wars going on is around forty.  They divide them up by how many people are getting killed in each war, and put them in one of three categories.  The Lord Jesus Christ mentioned the fact that thee will seem to always be wars and rumors of wars in the world but the end is not yet.  Other signs will be occurring and adding to the death and destruction  such as famines, earthquakes, storms and such that will seem almost unbelievable.  Couple this with the statements of the Apostle Paul to Timothy in Second Timothy 3:1-5 and you will get a rather obvious conclusion.  We are fast approaching the end days.  Morals have switched from that which is right, now becomes bad, and that which is bad now becomes right, in order to be politically correct.  It has been expressed that it is okay to kill an unborn child but you could go to jail for  breaking an eagle’s egg.  Certain things are now protected by law while the evil things are judged as being okay.  Why, even I am a protected person because of my age.  Anyone over sixty is watched like a hawk by the Adult Protection Services to be sure they are not being abused in any way.  Now, I may do some stupid thins at times, but so far, I am in right mind.  Of course, that is my own evaluation even though I got caught up in a little deal where I lost some money by giving it to a “friend.”  It  certainly seems as if the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is close at hand.  God’s final call could take place at any time.  Therefore, may we all be about the business of the LORD each and every day.  Praise God for His divine plan.
