Many people may ask: "Why is God allowing all these tragedies, making people scared and distress the nations?"
What most people don't realize, is that God allows these things to get our attention! For what reason? Well, we read in Scripture that in the Last Days (End Times), people's love for God and others will wax cold because their hearts have hardened and wickedness have increased! (Matt. 24:12)
This is the Time we live in. A Time to get right with God before its too late! GOD will be exalted among the nations! (Psalm 46:10) Think about it before you want to blame God for everything: If He didnt care about us at all, these horrific events wouldnt have happened at all! It's because He CARES about your soul!! For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever (believes) in Him will not perish, but have Eternal Life. (John 3:16)
God is saying: "Wake Up! & Repent!" This is why it is said: 'Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead (get out of your sinful nature!) and Christ will shine on you. --Eph 5:14. Repent then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord--Acts 3:19.
These are signs that Christ's return draws nearer every second. We cannot afford to lose our own soul salvation through our earthly desires and ignorance! For what shall it profit a man to gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? For whoever wants to save their life (earthly matters) will lose it, but whoever loses their life for my sake and the gospel's ( make sacrificial repentance & follow Christ), the same shall save it (Mrk 8:35-36)
God never said it would be easy. But if we follow Him with a sincere heart with love, He WILL help us! Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength and your neighbour as yourself - Mark 12:30. Surely God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the LORD is my strength and my song, He has become my salvation. (Isaiah 12:2) "my salvation"! Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest (Matt. 11:28)
But the end of all things is at hand: be ye sober and watch unto prayer. (1Pet 4:7) The Lord is not slack concerning his promice, as some men count slackness, but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that ALL SHOULD COME TO REPENTANCE; or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is MEANT TO LEAD YOU TO REPENTANCE? (2Peter 3:9 & Romans 2:4)
Christ said: "I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father (except through Me)" Strife to (enter in at the strait gate): for many I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.(Luke 13:24) Because,the gate is narrow and the way is hard that (leads to life, and those who find it are few), because the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter it are many, (Matt 7:13-14)
Look, I am coming soon! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this scroll. Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. (Rev 7 & 22)
But watch yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that Day come upon you suddenly like a trap. For it shall come upon all who dwell on the face of the earth. But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man. -Luke 21:34-36
To him who overcomes, I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. --Rev 3:21 Blessed and holy are those who take part in the First resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years. --Rev 20:6
