"You Must Know The Times‪"‬ "Can We Have A Conversation"

    • Parenting

What a season we are in!  This nation is experiencing things that we have never experienced before in our lifetime.

There have been raging fires causing massive devastation across the Pacific Coast states, earthquakes, and tornadoes in places where they have never had them before,  and back-to-back hurricanes of the greatest magnitude ever recorded.  All these things happening while a treacherous, unrelenting pandemic has paralyzed our nation. The entire world has been on pause for almost a year and the United States has gotten to a place that half of million people have died in one year from this virus and has reached the point that over 5000 people died a day.

Climate Change is real and continues to manifest its unpredictable nature,  affecting places like Texas in an unimaginable series of horrible events.  The massive super freeze coupled with a loss of power to millions of people has caused death, loss of homes and possessions,  homes destroyed by pipes bursting to cause water damage, and fires started from the need to stay warm. Store shelves were completely emptied, no food, no water.

Racism is at an all-time high, suicide is at an all-time high. And who would ever think that we would have domestic terrorists here in what we call the 'land of the free" and that those people would attack the Capitol? The list goes on and on.

What is going on in this world??

The Bible reminds us that these days were coming and that it's not the last days, but the signs of the last days. (Matthew 24:5-8)

The Bible doesn't define the last days as in the handful of weeks, months, or years before the world ends. Rather it says the last days are between Jesus first coming and second coming. We should hold to that definition too and avoid imposing our own preconceived ideas onto the Bible.

With that said, if there was a question that you could ask regarding this subject, the last days, what would it be?  You will have a chance because I will be interviewing Bible scholar, Dr. Dennis James Woods,  on Sunday afternoon as we discuss his book, "You Must Know The Times".

Don't be soothed into complacency by the saying "What you don't know, won't hurt you" because that is usually not true. The Bible says that people perish because of a lack of knowledge. Which means that we can die because of what we don't know.
