I recently saw an ad for auto insurance to cover storm damage from the onset of Hurricane Irma! The following is an excerpt:

Auto Insurance Basics: Damage from a storm will be covered under your comprehensive coverage; including but not limited to, wind, hail, falling objects, like a house/tree/flying cow/2x4’s! Rising water is also covered. However, no comp coverage…no claim! Check with your local agent to see if you're covered before it’s too late!

Hurricane Irma, the mega storm has been predicted. We can pretty much know without a doubt that it is really going to happen with the help of radar images and meteorological forecasts. We certainly can’t hide our heads in the sand and deny this inevitable event, so what do we do? All that is left is to prepare for the storm the best we can. Board up the windows on our house, stock up on the essentials, have plenty of water, batteries, flashlights and so on. Maybe get some additional insurance . . . and then wait for the storm to hit! 

Being prepared for these predicted disasters is of the utmost importance. No one in their right mind would just casually disregard these warnings! But isn’t that exactly what we’re doing if we disregard the prophetic warnings from God? Why would we be so concerned with being ready for the effect of a hurricane, but have no concern for our eternity?

Isn’t it funny that we believe the forecasts of the weather predicting people, but completely disregard the forecasts of the prophets of God?

Maybe it’s time that we realize there is an enormous storm predicted in the Bible. It is coming! Hiding your head in the sand will not prevent it, nor will denying it’s reality.

There is a firestorm coming, and it’s coming sooner than we think. It has been predicted for thousand’s of years and there is no stopping it. We had better start to prepare before it’s too late. There is an insurance policy that we all need in order to be covered for the onset of this earth melting firestorm.

Hellfire Storm Insurance Basics: Damage from a storm will be covered under your comprehensive coverage: Including and not limited to wind, hail, falling objects, and hellfire! However… no comp coverage, no claim! Check with your local agent to see if you're covered before it’s too late!

I know that it might appear that I’m making light of this inevitable catastrophic event, but I’m not. I’m simply trying to make a comparison to something we all understand. God is giving us every chance to get insured, He is patiently waiting for everyone to get ready!

That you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, ‘Where is the promise of His coming?’  But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.   ~taken from 2 Peter 3

God doesn’t want to lose any of us to this terrible storm. He has given every single one of us an easy way to be completely covered. It’s called His free insurance coverage of eternal salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ. He couldn’t have made it any easier to get this coverage, all we have to do is ask! Ask! That’s all there is to it. Everyone is qualified with no exclusions! Just open your heart and ask for Jesus to come into you and be your guiding light in these coming dark days.

“…who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus” ~1 Timothy 2:4-5

This offer is for everyone, it doesn’t matter who you are, where you are, or what you’ve done. It’s time to stop hiding your head in the sand and get insured before the storm hits . . . because then it will be  too late.

“But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come”   ~2 Timothy 3:1

We are seeing an increase in frequency as well as intensity of natural disasters all over the world.  Just here in the U.S. the extreme recent flooding in Texas, the raging fires in Oregon, and one of the worst hurricanes might make us begin to ponder this question. Why does God allow these things to happen when He could very well prevent them? 

Here’s a bit of eye-opening truth…God is not to blame for these things! Sin is what has caused all of this planetary devolution to occur. We are living in a fallen world, a corrupted, deteriorating planet, along with everything on it. God is starting to remove His restraining hand from this world. So Satan is now unleashing his fury because he’s fully aware that his time is short. In the Bible God tells us of the coming of these end times events.

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” ~1 Peter 5:8

“And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven.”   ~Luke 21:11

“So you also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near.” ~ Luke 21:31

The ultimate effect of sin is degradation. The falling apart of everything, from the breaking down of our physical bodies, (sickness, disease, pain, and suffering) to the degeneration of all existence, even the planet itself. The degeneration of everything . . . all living creatures, animals and even plants. As well as the worsening of the weather and increase of planetary devastation are all the byproduct and the effect of a broken and fallen world.

Can God stop it? Yes. Will He stop it? Yes, but not until every person has made their decision either for or against Jesus. Not until everyone has heard of the gift of salvation through the sacrifice of Jesus, and have made their choice, will this mess finally come to an end.

“And the gospel must first be preached to all the nations.” ~Mark 13:10

“And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.” ~Matthew 24:14

The Bible is very clear on the order of end times events. Jesus tells us what will happen and how to be on guard so we will recognize these things when they happen. Anyone that knows their Bible understands that these things will, and must happen before the second coming of the Lord Jesus! 

Jesus compares these excessive signs of the times to that of a woman going into labor, the earth must heave to and fro and this is the beginning of birthing pangs. 

The apostle, Paul writes about the how and when all this will happen when he said . . .

“But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.”   ~1 Thessalonians 5:1-3

Simply put . . . at the end of the age, the beginning of sorrows or birth pangs will take place. We need to know what the Bible says in order to understand that everything is happening right on time. God has predicted everything through His servants the prophets, and will see us through it to the end if we just hold tightly to Him!

“That you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior, knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming?”~2 Peter 3:2-4

“Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.“ ~Luke 21:28

Are we in the last days…?

You tell me. The following verses paint a pretty clear picture regarding every aspect of life as far as I’m concerned.

“But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!” ~2 Timothy 3:1-5

“… In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.”  ~Jude 1:18ESV

”But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.” ~Matthew24:37

”For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful.”   ~Romans 1:26-31

”For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.” ~Matthew 24:7

”For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.” ~Matthew 24:21

Wouldn’t you say this sounds exactly how things are in this very day and age? There’s such an enormous surge in wickedness of every kind. Crime is running rampant, murder and rape are at an all time high. Sexual immorality, pornography, multiple sex partners, indulgence in unnatural lust/homosexuality/incest/ transgenderism, and abortion, as well as overindulgence in every possible thing. Pride and greed have become the all-consuming ruler of this present world.  

Oh yes, I’d have to say we are most definitely heading into the last days. God tells us that once this order of event starts, it will not end until everything that God has predicted happens. And this is all the more reason to believe that soon Jesus will come again to execute judgment upon the evildoers and restore order, peace, love, and justice upon this earth.

“Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.” ~Matthew 24:34

Clearly, the majority of the world is choosing to reject God and His grace filled offer of redemption. However, there is still time for you to choose to give your heart to Jesus. You will then receive the seal of God (Revelation 7:2-3) and will be protected when the four winds are totally released and Satan has full control of this world. Oh yes, God’s people shall be delivered, that is a promise!

“… And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation. Even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone who is found written in the book.” ~Daniel 12:1

Are you ready for the storm of all storms?

Q: Are you ready get the seal of God?
