Global warming continues on. Our summer’s heat is bad enough already, but wait until it gets worse and the scorching heat comes as predicted in God’s word (Rev 7:16,17)! The recent heat wave, which is even affecting Alaska, is just a tiny foretaste of what is coming:
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A heat wave hitting Alaska may not rival the blazing heat of Phoenix or Las Vegas, but to residents of the 49th state, the days of hot weather feel like a stifling oven — or a tropical paradise. With temperatures topping 80 degrees in Anchorage, and higher in other parts of the state, people have been sweltering in a place where few homes have air conditioning.
The climate will get hotter, not colder as some think. Just the rapid melting of icebergs is convincing indisputable evidence. That in turn results in a rising sea level!
Things are changing to the exact details stated in the book of Revelation. Jesus is coming back, but before that occurs the antichrist will arise. If it happens in our generation, you must be willing to die rather than take the mark of the beast to remain saved:
They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. (Rev. 12:11)
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.” (Mark 8:35-38)
It takes courage to be a true Christian (Heb. 3:6). The Christian life is not an easy stroll into heaven. This is a wicked and truth rejecting world. Persecution goes with the territory, but you must endure it to the end to be saved (Mt. 10:22). Remember, to die is gain for the righteous — NOT LOSS OR DEFEAT (Phil 1:21).
