During these days of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), isn’t it kind of weird how the same Media that constantly pushes 58 genders on us..... is now only giving us two genders? Now, they are only tellin' us of the number of men and women who have caught it. Sup with that, LGBTQ+?

Born into this world, do you really believe there is or have been that many? I don’t.
Are you still employed during these days of Covid-19. I hope you're okay. Jesus foretold of these birth pangs and used the word "sorrows," in His Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24) when addressing these end time things to come on the earth. "All these are but the beginning of the birth pains (or labor pains)." (nasb, esv, niv, csb)
Are we really in the Last Days where a Rapture will happen? No time to play pin the tail on the Antichrist (that leader might already be walking around), but I think I’m gunna keep my eyes open..watching, standing (up for the Word of God), walking (in victory), tactfully tellin’ em what’s so.. when I have the opportunity. And I respectfully implore, exhort and encourage you to go share Christ's Gospel.
Yes, know Him really well, and make Him really well known. This needs to be the main aim of every Christian and of others too!
A lot going on. Soon there will be a real catching away (a.k.a. the Rapture) of those who are born again, forgiven and believing in the Jesus of the Bible. So glad. Seems like things are wrapping up quickly huh?
God has been very patient with us people, but the Great Tribulation will be three and a half years of wrath here on earth due to of all the sin piled up high so to speak. Lots of bad choices. It's a good day to turn (repent) and trust Christ with faith. No fear believers, the Bible says, “For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ..” 1 Thessalonians 5:9
Jesus said, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away. No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. And they were oblivious, until the flood came and swept them all away. So will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.“ See Matthew 24:35-39.
There was a lot of lust, violence, and immorality in Noah’s day -- it was kinda like there is in our day now.
As we watch the downward spiral of our society today, we realize that a powder keg is ready to explode. Something has gotta give.. yes to change things.
We've all observed the accelerated deterioration of moral values in our nation–the high divorce rate, the 862,320 abortions (since Roe v. Wade), all the web and other pornography (another ginormous business for bucks), the drug addiction and all the child abuse. We have witnessed what has transpired in the militant homosexual, tranny, LGBTQ+ community.
Simply, we are shocked often at the violent crimes, the drive-by shootings, the street riots, and the Islamic terrorism that plagues our nations and cities. Man, what is this world coming to?
God does know. Is the end near.. come on, really Kurt? Be sensitive! I'm trying to be. Man, I think we’re in the last of the last days.
Sure, there are still a lot of false teachers out there, and sadly some masquerade as Christian leaders too (for big bucks). When you read through the Bible, we all can see religious greed within the context of “false teachers” being mentioned. How has that changed in our day? Hasn't.
Many people have asked what will be the signs of Jesus’ coming and the end of the world? This was the very same question that Christ’s disciples asked Him. Jesus’ answer to them was clear.. and for us too.. it's to be found in Matthew 24:37-39. The Bible says...
“..until the day that [Noah] entered into the ark, and knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be.”
Genesis 6:5 tells us what was going on in the days of Noah. “God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”
As we watch and pray..looking at our world today, we see the parallel–the movie industry keeps on corrupting our values, the television scene keeps on defiling our homes, children’s video gaming is teaching kids violence–all these are tainting brains, are polluting people’s minds.. until the thoughts and the imagination of man’s heart is continually evil. God warned us about these days, so why continue on so angry at Him?
We read in Genesis 6:11 that “the earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.” I say go pick up your daily Wall Street Journal (if you still get one) and you will notice the radical hostility and divisions that still fill the earth. Our nation’s morality has sunk so low.. to the place where more than one person has said, “If God doesn’t judge America, He will need to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah!”
Why wouldn't we call these the last of the last days before the seven years of tribulation? The world right now is very much like it was in the days of Noah. Jesus pointed out that in Noah’s day, the people were totally oblivious to the coming judgment of God. They were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage. Weddings are still very popular. It was pretty much business as usual back in Noah's day. There was no awareness that the fierce judgment of God was about to fall down upon them. They did not realize anything was wrong until Noah went into the ark and the rain began to fall.
People today do not realize how ripe the world is for judgment. God is trying to shake us from our lethargy and wake us up. We see a worldwide financial crisis, disasters, earthquakes, hurricanes, fires, floods, famines and the AIDS epidemic. But try to suggest to a worldly person that these indicate the beginning of sorrows and God’s judgment, and they will laugh at you. The world may acknowledge their belief in the existence of God, but they live as though God does not exist. There is a total lack of fear of a holy and righteous God.
The Prophet Isaiah said, “Woe unto them who call evil good, and good evil” (Isaiah 5:20). Speaking of the future woes that are coming upon the earth, the angel proclaims in Revelation 8:13, “Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!” A day of reckoning is coming.
We see prophecies rapidly fulfilled before our very eyes. I believe the current economic crisis–and it’s not just a crisis here in America but a worldwide crisis–is going to force a joining together of the nations, a one-world union as prophesied in the Book of Revelation. It’s going to be moving in that direction. And as we look at the situation in Israel, we see their concern about the need to defend themselves against the possibility of a nuclear attack from other nations. Who and what can save us? Increased knowledge can’t save us. The government can’t save us. Neither can science nor Greenpeace save our planet.
So what does America need today? Rather than the homosexual community coming out of the closet, we need godly parents who will go into the closet and pray for their children, for their families, for the school system and the community. We need a spiritual revival to sweep our land. I believe more could be accomplished for good if we gathered together for times of prayer. Without a spiritual awakening, let’s face it, our nation is through. We need to realize that the only hope is to pray and to teach morality from a biblical base; that the Bible is the only true basis for morality.
We need men and women in our Congress and the Senate who really love God and fear Him from the heart. Goes for us too. We need all of God’s people to humble themselves and earnestly pray, and seek God’s face and turn from their wicked ways. You see–we’re either part of the problem or we’re a solution to the problem on earth! God wants to cleanse, keep and use us while we have time.
The only hope for the future here is the coming again of Jesus Christ. Only Jesus Christ can save us. He can provide, guide, and protect us. This is what Jesus is talking about in Matthew 24, the day of the Lord’s coming, the day of the establishing of the Kingdom of God. He said, “Immediately after the tribulation of those days.. they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory” (See Matthew 24:29-30).
This will be the day when, according to the Book of Revelation, “God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away” (Revelation 21:4). The day when “He [that is, Jesus] shall judge among the nations.. nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more” (Isaiah 2:4).
As we face the conditions of this nation and the world today, we do observe the same conditions that existed in the days of Noah. We realize that judgment is not far off. Perhaps some of these things we've already been experiencing are part of that.
So let us put on Christ.. put on the whole armor of God. Let's also intercede in faith that God will draw our hearts unto the things of the truth and of His Spirit.. and completely free us from the bondage of corruption that holds the world in its sway or firm grip. And let us pray–as God’s people are called to do–to have a real heart and concern for people.. for our families and those around us–for another spiritual revival and biblical awakening in our land. As we see the deteriorating condition of the world around us, it should be a real wake-up call for us to live honest, godly, righteous, holy lives, placing our minds, hearts and priorities on eternal values.
We don’t know what the rest of 2020 and beyond may hold for us–the joys, trials, pains, sorrows, victories or defeats. But we do know that the Lord has promised to be with us, and He’s promised to help us. He'll never leave or forsake us. He has promised to guide us as a Shepherd. So with this reminder, let's commit ourselves and our ways to Him, knowing that Jesus Christ will bring to pass His perfect will in our lives. The promise of Romans 8:28-29 is still in the Bible and God hasn't once fallen off His throne. None of this has caught Him by surprise. No worries or fears, He is ultimately in control.
