Perilous Times Ahead

| But Michael, do you feel like God has lifted his hand a blessing off from America? | |
| Oh, it's true. | |
| Pastor Jim, what does a country that has killed more than 60 million babies deserve? | |
| And that's just one of our sins. | |
| When judgment comes to America, I'm talking horrible judgment beyond what most people could even dare to imagine. | |
| Nobody should be surprised. | |
| Nobody should be shocked because what we're everything that we're going to get, we fully deserve it. | |
| And that's why we desperately need national repentance. | |
| Prayer can change a lot of things. | |
| The Bible says in 2 Timothy chapter 3, verse 1, this know also that in the last days, perilous times will come. | |
| Michael, are we in perilous times? | |
| Is this the last days that this is the New Testament? | |
| Is this the word that God wants? | |
| Perilous time. | |
| We're living in crazy times. | |
| We're living where we're taking and doing surgery like Frankenstein's, I call it surgery on little boys and little girls, turning boys into girls and girls into boys. | |
| This is a sick society. | |
| This is like what the Bible talks about was happening in the days of Noah. | |
| And Jesus said, as it was in the days of Noah, that's what it's going to be when Jesus comes back. | |
| He also said, you know, like Sodom and Gomorrah, he said, that'll be like those days. | |
| These were wicked times. | |
| And he said, it's going to be wicked times. | |
| And so I believe we're in the most perilous times. | |
| And we're going to see war, rumors of wars. | |
| We're going to see things that the church, you know, so much of the church has been taught that, well, God's just going to take us out. | |
| But I believe my study of the last book of the Bible, the Revelation, that we're going through some times. | |
| And I want us to be ready for those things. | |
| And Jesus said that we will go to be with him then at the end. | |
| And we're going to, he has a place prepared for us. | |
| That's my hope: knowing Jesus Christ is my Savior. | |
| Oh, it's very true, Pastor Jim. | |
| Things have gotten so evil that you can't even speak against the evil anymore. | |
| In fact, a law was just passed in Canada. | |
| If you speak against transgender ideology and the whole gender thing, that you can be fined up to $25,000 just for one time speaking against it. | |
| So it's so evil. | |
| These are such dark times. | |
| And we've talked about a lot of really dark things today. | |
| And, you know, online, people say, oh, Michael, you talk about doom and gloom. | |
| In fact, one person said, nobody writes about doom and gloom better than Michael Snyder. | |
| But I'm not doom and gloom at all because if you put it in perspective and you realize that God warned about, has been warning about all these things for thousands of years, you realize every piece of bad news we've talked about today is actually a piece of good news because the good news is that the Bible is true. | |
| Everything we've been believing and talking about, it's real. | |
| And that at the end of the story, we get to be with the Lord Jesus Christ forever and ever and ever. | |
| And there's no more good news than that. | |
| Okay, but first, yeah, Pastor Jim, we got some stuff to go through. | |
| We got some birth pains to go through. | |
| In fact, we're going to have seven years of birth pains to go through. | |
| We're going to be here for the whole tribulation. | |
| But most of the church is not preaching that. | |
| They don't understand that. | |
| So they're not ready. | |
| And when it comes and they realize, oh, we've been left behind. | |
| There wasn't a pre-tribulation rapture. | |
| They're going to be depressed. | |
| They're going to be down. | |
| They're going to be without hope. | |
| We're going to see Christians potentially committing suicide because they've been taught the wrong thing. | |
| So we need to give them the message of hope: saying, no, we're going to be here, but God wants us to be here because he has a job for us to do. | |
| And he put you and me and all of us at this particular moment in human history for a reason, for a purpose. | |
| And that should get us excited. | |
| We shouldn't be depressed. | |
| We should say, whatever God wants us to do, we're going to do. | |
| And we're going to bring in the great and mighty final harvest of souls. | |
| And we're going to prepare the return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. | |
| Amen. | |
| I love that word perilous because when you break it down in the Greek, it is unsafe, uncertain, critical, insecure, dangerous, difficult, exposing of the times. | |
| Yet it's going to be the greatest time for the church to be alive. | |
| Because if there was ever a time to be a witness for the Lord, it is in the time of need when people are in need. | |
| What the Bible calls the harvest. | |
| That's right. | |
| I think that when people see bombs falling, they see all these things coming in the world falling apart, millions are going to come to God. | |
| And it's time for the church to be ready. | |
| It's time to have Bibles ready to pass out to people. | |
| It's time to have the church ready to go out. | |
| This army of the church, you weren't saved just to be sitting in a church. | |
| You're saved to be a part of this great army to win souls in the last days. | |
