Later this week, Israel’s calendars roll over from year 63 (since 1948) to begin year 64. If Israel is about to begin the last 7 years of the 70, there’s a good chance the church age is about to end.

Will the rapture happen within the next 72 hours? Only God knows. But he did tell us in his word that we would know the time was at hand if we were watching the signs.

The signs have stacked up so deep in the past year that it would be scary if one did not personally know the Lord. In the past few months, those signs have started appearing at warp speed.

They include UFO talk, earthquakes, animal deaths, advancing microchip technology, famine, drought, economic collapse, increasing evil accepted by the world, and the current topsy-turvy condition of our world. Good has become bad and evil has become the new good.

Organizations claiming to be christian churches are preaching anti-christian messages. Some preach there is no hell. Some preach that there is more than one way to salvation. They say Jesus is not the only way and the only answer.

They’re all wrong. There is a hell. There is only ONE way to avoid it. There is only ONE way to salvation and that is through the blood of Jesus. NOT through works. NOT through some new age feel-good guru. Not through Oprah or any other celebrity.

The media doom forecast for this week includes:

• comet Elenin alignment
• volatile stock market
• potential crash of U.S. economy
• potential default of U.S. on debt if budget not finalized
• increasing odds of war in the Middle East
• Iran’s push to divide Jerusalem

Rosh Hashanah begins Wednesday at sundown (Israel time), September 28. Many believers have considered this holiday as the time when the rapture will occur. Others believe the rapture will happen before Rosh Hashanah begins.

No matter what this week brings – be it catastrophe, rapture, or nothing unusual at all – God is in control.

A real relationship with God is all that can sustain us through daily life and beyond.

So what should believers be doing for the next 3 days? The same things they’re always doing. Praising the Lord, spreading the word and living their lives for the Lord. Talking to God about everything in their lives, reading their Bibles, and praying for those who have yet to know the Lord.

One day the rapture will happen. One day the tribulation will begin. The tribulation will be far beyond any science fiction movie. It will be life and death, with a martyr’s death awaiting those who choose to side with God.

The world is ready for the tribulation. The foundation has been laid for the antichrist to control food, water, and every aspect of life. The foundation is in place for constant surveillance of everyone, everywhere. The foundation is in place for the devil to do his best to become God and to make his feeble attempt to defeat God.

The world is taking sides and going to great lengths to prepare for the battle. Now is the time to decide who you will side with – God Almighty or evil. Now is the time to accept Christ as your Savior, to press in and read the Word and learn to know, really know, God.

Whatever happens in the hours, days, and weeks to come, don’t be caught without God.
