  1. Today we have wars and rumors of wars to come in many places on earth. We have disasters such as earthquakes, fires and storms in places all around the world as well. In short were a mess. The reason I believe is clear. These are the end times and were headed quickly to the tribulation period that the Bible tells us about. Jesus Christ died in man kinds place in order to forgive us of our sins. All you need to do to get that forgiveness is to pray to him and take his free gift of forgiveness. If you want that salvation in Jesus, do it quickly because as you can see time is running out and the tribulation period of God that will punish the whole world is coming fast!
