WHAT�S AHEAD?
 �THOUSANDS Disappear!� �Driverless Cars Crash!�  �Strange Events Shrouded
in Mystery!� Such will be the headlines of tomorrow.  God does intervene in
the of Afairs of man.  In the beginning of our calendar time,  God sent His
Son, Jesus Christ, to pay for the sins of mankind upon the cross.  Now, the
time is drawing near when God�s Son will return to judge this world and rule
over it.  Hire is the order of the coming events:
THE RAPTURE
 This will be the greatest evacuation of all time.  Our English word,
�Rapture,�  means �to be caught up.�  Here is the statement from the Bible:
�For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice
of the archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ  shall
rise first:  �Then we (believers_ who are alive and remain shall be caught
up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so
shall we ever be with the Lord � (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).
   This startling event is due at any moment now.  For the world is now in
the �last days�  of this dying age (11 Timothy 3:1-5).  It will occur �in a
moment, in the twinkling of an eye,� as we read in (1 Corinthians 15:52).
   �In a moment!�  All living people who have received Christ as their
Savior and Lord will be �caught up� in the air to meet Him.  There will be
no time to receive Him then.  God�s Word says, �Behold NOW is the accepted
time�  (11 Corinthian 6:2).
THE TRIBULATION
According to the prophecies of God�s Word, there will be an unprecedented
rejection of God, a worldwide revolution against God after the Rapture.
Three times the Bible tells us that there never has been, nor ever will be
again, such a period in human history�of wars, violence and terror upon
earth!
   �For then shall be Great Tribulation, such as was nor since the beginning
of the world to this time, no nor ever shall be� (Matthew 24:21).  See also
(Mark 13:19 and Daniel 12:1).  It will be a time of violence and terror,
death and destruction, nuclear wars, earthquakes, famines.  It will last
about seven years.  Peace will be removed from the earth, �that they should
kill one another� (Revelation 6:4-8,9-15).
  A world dictator, the Antichrist will come into power.  The Bible calls
him �the man of sin,� Satan�s man (11 Thessalonians 2:3-4).  This awful
period of time will culminate in the great and terrible �Battle of
Armageddon� (Revelation 14:20 and 16:13-16).  This will be in the Valley of
Megiddo, near Jerusalem,  World events today are hastening mankind toward
that awful day!
CHRIST SECOND COMING
   In great glory and power the Lord Jesus Christ will then return to earth.
�in righteousness He doth judge and make war� (Revelation 19:11). See
further details in verse  12 to 16).
   �When the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with His mighty
angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and obey
not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ�  (11 Thessalonians 1:7-8).
THE KINGDON AGE
   After the destruction of His enemies at Armageddon, the Lord Jesus Christ
will reign on earth, as  �King of kings, and Lord of lord, � for one
thousand years.  See (Revelation 1920-21 and 20:1-4).  It will be a reign of
peace and true righteousness.
   The Kingdom age will close with the Great White Throne judgement, where
the unsaved of all ages will be raised to stand before the Great Judge
(Revelation 20:11-15). �And whosoever was not found written in the Book of
Life was cast into the Lake of Fire�  The Great Judge will be Jesus Christ,
whom they rejected!
   He must be your Saviour now, or your Judge in that day!
BUT WHAT OF TODAY?
Yes, what of today?  God put enough resurces in the earth to last until the
Great King comes back to renew all things.  Man is now rapidly depleting the
earth of  all of these resources�oil, minerals, arable land, water and even
good air itself.  Tension mounts, and war and violence  are filling the
earth.  The Great Tribulation is just ahead!
   But God has a wounderful promise to all who will now receive His Son, the
Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour.  Speaking of the coming Tribulation
�wrath,� He says: �For God hath not appointed us (believers) to wrath but to
obtain salvation (or deliverance) by our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us,
that weather we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him� (1
Thessalonians 5:9-10).

Is He your  Saviour?  He died on the cross to save you �from the wrath to
come� (1 Thessalonians 1:10).  �Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou
shalt be saved� (Acts 16:31).

�Faith Alone in Christ Alone�
Believing Christ died, that�s HISTORY.
Believing Christ died for YOUR sins and rose again, that�s SALVATION.
