THIS PRESENT VIOLENCE

   Anger is the first fruit of pride.
   Prideful people are angry people; and the greater their pride, the greater their anger.
   Anger leads to rage and rage leads to violence.
   When people become violent, they see red; and when they see red, they see blood.
   Once violent people get a taste of blood, they like it; then they want to see more of it.
   Once violent people kill, they get a taste of killing, and they like it.  Then the killing never ends.
      "Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?  The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.  He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh:  the Lord shall have them in derision.  Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure." (Psalm 2: 1-5)
   This present violence that is rising in the United States will not end.  It will get worse and worse, reaching every state and city and community across America.
   This present violence that is rising will also spread worldwide, to every nation, as the face of the whole earth will become a killing field as all the evil of hell itself will be unleashed upon the earth.
   This present violence is here now because we are entering the end of days that must come to pass before the return of the Lord.  Bible prophecies have been warning us that this day would come upon the earth, and that day is here now.
    From this day forward, peace on earth will only be a delusion in the imaginations of people, for "There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked." (Isaiah 48: 22)
   There will be no place to run and no place to hide from the violence that is coming upon the earth.
   "For these be the days of vengeance that all things which are written may be fulfilled." (Luke 21: 22)
   "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming upon the earth:  for the powers of heaven shall be shaken." (Luke 21: 25-26)
   There will be multiple earthquakes, multiple volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis flooding across nations causing catastrophic destruction.
   Militaries worldwide will turn their weapons of war against people.
   There will be nuclear war.
   Kingdoms will fall and nations collapse all across the earth as people will be killing people.
   Electronic communication devises such as i-Phones, cell phones, tablets, and personal computers will be useless.
   There will be no 911 operators standing by to take emergency calls and no emergency vehicles will arrive to take people to hospitals.
   People will be captured by Martial Law troops and taken to F.E.M.A. Concentration Camps to be tortured and decapitated.
   For the whole earth will be a place of chaos and disorder, and no person can even imagine the horror that is coming upon the earth.
   "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, and the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up." (2nd Peter 3: 10-11)
   What shall we then say, knowing that these things---these events of violence---are coming upon the earth? 
   We have now entered the days of the end of days.  The great tribulation will begin soon, and, when this happens, God's door of grace will be closed because the Age of Grace and the Age of the Church has ended.  People who have been saved by Christ before the great tribulation will be protected by God, but those not saved will have no covering by God.  If, however, many are saved during the great tribulation, they must suffer the consequences of their choice before the Age of Grace ended, and they will die the death of martyrs. 
   America is dying in front of our eyes just as nations worldwide are also dying in front of our eyes.  People will either serve God, or they will serve Satan.  There can be no middle ground.
      "And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom you will serve; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." (Joshua 24: 15)
   Today would be a good day to make that choice and choose Christ---not only for the salvation of your soul, but also to escape this present violence.
      "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shall be saved.  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." (Romans 10: 9, 10)
   In closing, let me share a personal note:
   My father died in 1962.  Even then, he believed that his children would live to see the day of the Lord coming in the clouds.  I believe this, too.  And this present generation will live to see the day of the Lord coming in the clouds.
   Amen.
