Where is God in all of this? Certainly the events on earth have not taken God by surprise. He is still on the throne, and still in total control. Since God is in control, we as followers of Christ need not worry. All these events point to one thing and that is the soon return of Christ.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );\">We are living in exciting times. Bible prophecy is being fulfilled right before our very eyes. I think the prophets, such as Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel would have longed to live in times such as these. The next big event is the Rapture of the Church (This event precedes the second coming of Christ). One of these days Jesus Christ is going to come in the clouds of heaven, set up His kingdom on this Earth and rule forever.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );\">I believe with all my heart that this is going to happen very soon. The reason for my strong belief in this event is due to the fact that all of the Bible prophecies regarding the first coming of Christ were fulfilled to the dot. There are more than 300 Bible prophecies regarding the first coming of Christ and all of them were fulfilled literally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );\">For instance, Isaiah 7:14 (NIV) says, \u201cTherefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to son, and will call him Immanuel.\u201d The Old Testament was written hundreds of years before the New Testament. This prophecy was fulfilled in Matthew 1:18 (NIV), \u201cThis is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">There are about 500 Bible prophecies that point to the return of Christ. So, it really does not take great faith to believe that He is coming back. You and I have the privilege of ruling and reigning with Christ, if we truly know Him. I encourage all Bible-believing Christians to seek Him more clearly and love Him more dearly. If you do not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, I humbly request you to try Jesus.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );\">Pray a simple prayer and ask Jesus to come into your life.&nbsp;Say this prayer, \u201cLord Jesus, I admit that I am a sinner. I repent of my sins. I ask you to forgive me, and wash me with your blood. I proclaim that you are the Son of God and that you died for me in&nbsp;Calvary. I accept your substitutionary death. Now, I make you my Lord and Savior.\u201d If you prayed that prayer,&nbsp;you got born again.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The war between Russia and Ukraine; rising crude oil prices; the COVID-19 pandemic; and economic crisis in different countries around the world.
