Last night as a person was leaving the service he made the comment, "I think the signs of His coming will be much more intense than anything we see today".
It is so true. The time of the tribulation will be an unbelievable time of trouble and terror. The judgments of the book of Revelation describes them in a way that should bring fear to the readers. They are so fearsome that men cry out to God to die. We have never seen anything even close to those coming signs.
Yet even those things that happen are mild in comparison to an eternity in the lake of fire, eternally separated from God. How much more we should we be moved with compassion to reach the lost as we see just a glimpse of things to come.
As Paul said to be with Jesus is far better, but it is needful to be here. How shall they hear except someone tell them.
