    The word "moment" is used 3X in the N.T., KJV. 3 Greek words are used and applied to 3 areas: temptation, trials, and the Rapture. It's amazing how God can intervene during each "moment" and how He turns them around for our good!

    End-times living won’t be easy. Jesus doesn’t promise that it will be. How can it? This universe is plummeting down to its death, and such death throes are never pleasant.
