     | 2,570 views

    I want us all to understand that when the Bible talks about the “last days”, it is not our last days. Rather these are the last days for the devil, and his evil.

    OUR LOSS – HIS GAIN In spite of the more recent developments, I am overall encouraged (although not completely satisfied) by how our nation is responding to what it stands for. I know the Bible has warned us that we are living in the “last days”. Nevertheless, those people with any kind of moral ...read more
