Be Careful What You Wish For Series

Contributed by Jim Drake on Aug 27, 2007

We often look forward to eschatological events as wonderful pie-in-the-sky times. While the fulfillment of those events will result in unimaginable blessedness, we cannot forget they are initiated by judgment. Are we ready for how they will arrive?
