2 Timothy 3:1-4
King James Version (KJV)
3 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; These words of the Apostle Paul describe the traits of people who will be alive during the "last days". I have stated repeatedly that I believe we are living in the last days, the end times. I think that any honest evaluation of natural disasters, collapsing economies, famine, mass animal deaths, earthquakes, signs in the heavens and impending nuclear war would lead any rational person to conclude the same thing.
The two incidents of cannibalism in Maryland and Florida this past week have been seized upon by the "zombie" culture that is so prevalent in America. Americans find entertaining and amusing ways to make fun of bizarre and sinful behavior. We create books, movies and games to trivialize the collapse of society and the sinful descent of man. Many are claiming that we are seeing the advent of a zombie apocalypse. I would tell you that we are seeing more evidence of the soon coming of Christ and the beginning of the Biblical tribulation.
Paul said that in the last days men would be "fierce". That pretty well describes the events in Miami doesn't it? Paul also said that men would be "incontinent" which simply means uncontrollable. We are witnessing the total unraveling of the fabric of civilized societies. What we are seeing now is just a taste of the horrors to come. Everyone who reads this blog post would be well served by reading the book of Revelation again. Pay particular attention to chapters 5 through 19 as John the Revelator describes the events that are about to occur on this planet. Those things coming to our world will be so frightening that the Scriptures say that men's hearts will fail in fear of those coming on the Earth! In fact, the events that are going to happen will claim the lives of over half the Earth's population.
Will a zombie apocalypse happen? No, something much worse is going to happen. Your only hope of surviving is the guide to the supernatural - the Bible! The Scriptures tell us that surviving the days ahead will only be the result of a rescue by One who is called Savior and Redeemer. Paul described early believers in the Lord Jesus this way...
1 Thessalonians 1:9-10
King James Version (KJV)
9 For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;
10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
I like to think those word describe me. I am waiting for God's Son from Heaven. I believe that He has been raised from the dead. I believe He will deliver me from the wrath to come! Jesus is the only way to survive the coming apocalypse. Have you trusted Him as your Savior? Time is running out. Watch the little video in the right sidebar. Let me know what you decide concerning Jesus.
