I try not to dwell on this too often, but occasionally I get glimpses of what it may be like.
When I lived in Houston, many years ago, I woke in a sweat, I had seen a smoking ruins, some buildings toppled, other with great flumes of smoke rising. Many bodies in the streets, and many more people walking out of the city, as the highways were clogged with broken down cars. I had seen miles and miles of people trying to flee a dead city.
Another time I had seen while driving, the hills crawling with tanks, men in foreign uniforms, going through the land-scape
I am so concerned with the teaching that has come up in the last 80 years or so, about the end times, about the "rapture". I feel that this teaching has caused a great number of people to become lazy in their faith, with a belief that they will not have to suffer. Along with this teaching has also come the carnal riches teaching that says Christians should be wealthy.
This nation I feel is set for a rude awakening, for when the fire of persecution begins to fall, so many of the social Christians will fall by the side, and others will flee from the faith, because every thing they had been taught sitting in their comfortable pews will be getting turned upside down. Seeing Christians shot for their faith, their financial wealth taken from them, and the loss of their freedoms will cause many to loose heart.
