By Oluwatola Toluwani Ifeoluwa:
I effortlessly laboured to keep the thoughts off my heart as I watched international news yester night. All the news headlines across various stations reechoed in my heart THE IMMINENT END OF THE WORLD: RAPTURE. From Gaza to Donetsk, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan and our own Nigeria, the world is experiencing unprecedented violence like never before. Peace appears to have evaded the world and there seem to be no hope of return to normalcy. This reminded me of what the Lord Jesus said to his disciples asked him when the end of times shall be: "And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows. But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them." Mark 13:7-9. In a moment, the trumpet shall sound and the fearful and dreadful tribulation will be unleashed when the remnants will be required to pay for their salvation with their blood, may we not be partakers of such! Concluding with the words of the author of Hebrews: "Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it". 8 hrs · Friends of Friends
