biblical perspectives on the life events that shape our world

We have nothing to fear; not even fear itself.

In this uncertain time there are many people who spread speculations and rumors about the end of the world, the anti-christ or various conspiracies involving the government and/or aliens. In my humble opinion there is no need to heed any of these. There is no need to be alarmed or fearful. There is no need to tremble over the next possible natural disaster. There is no need to be afraid of our government or any conspiracy involving a new world order. We know the truth. And we are secure in our faith in Him who is truth.

I have read so many stories about area 51, or Maitraya, and seen so many stupid disaster documentaries on the History and Discovery Channels. All of this ratings boosting and fear mongoring is simply intended to distract and divert attention from the truth. And that truth is simply that because we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ we have nothing to fear. Not the government or aliens or demons or satan or even death itself because we are confident in who is on our side and who holds the final victory! We know where we will be when the victory is won! And we can rest assured that He will not fail. Scripture is clear on that point. We only have to be vigilant and remember what the scriptures say about the end:

1. Don't believe anyone who claims that the Christ has returned or who claims that they are the Christ. When Jesus does return the Bible says that everyone on earth will know it instantly and all at once because his second coming will be in the full Glory of God.

2. Don't believe anyone who claims they know when Jesus will return or when the end of the world will be. The Bible is clear: no one will ever know until it actually happens!

3. As so many angels have told so many people in the Bible: Don't be afraid! Only spiritually prepare yourself daily for the end. You never know when you will die or when the end will come. It could be tomorrow or in a hundred years. But we should always make ourselves right with God and be close in our walk with Him daily so that when the end does come our lamps will be trimmed and burning for the groom!

I hope and pray that this message encourages you and gives you hope and peace in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
