Troubled Times Ahead Series

Think on this for a moment. Often where Christians are employed, those companies, those businesses, are blessed for the sake of the Christians employed there. We have seen this in the Bible numerous time. I read this past week in Genesis where Laban and all he had was blessed for the sake of Jacob. God blessed Joseph while he was employed by Potiphar, and the jail where Joseph was held prospered, and ultimately all of Egypt’s was blessed because Joseph was blessed. Are you a blessing where you are employed?

In the tribulation, God will shorten the days which will benefit everyone, because of the elect.

Yes trouble times are ahead for us. Jesus has warned us. Are we prepared for those days? The word of comfort I want to point out again comes from Daniel.

Daniel 12:1b And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued.

Is your name in the book, the Lamb’s Book of Life?

Do you know Jesus? As I’ve said many times before, it is all about Jesus and knowing Him now will matter in the here and now and for all eternity.
