The Chilling Words of God’s Warning
“Of how much worse punishment…will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?”
-Hebrews 10:29, emphasis added
In the devotional yesterday, we saw highlights of some of the dreadful disasters that will occur during the Great Tribulation. We see that same ominous message in Matthew and Mark. Note how Jesus describes the powerful effect of the coming pestilences: “Unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened” (Matthew 24:22; see also Mark 13:20).
Listen to Jesus again as He foretold that one of the signs of His Second Coming would be the onslaught of global pestilences: “There will be . . . famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven” (Luke 21:11).
There have always been diseases, plagues, and pestilences, but none have been capable of spreading worldwide until the advent of global travel. Until the invention of the steam engine in the nineteenth century, most plague carriers would die before they traveled very far. But beginning with air travel in the twentieth century, it became possible to harbor a plague or pestilence, board a flight, and reach a distant destination before ever exhibiting symptoms. By the time the disease was discovered, everyone who had come in contact with that person would have already been exposed to the plague, and perhaps have become carriers themselves.
Not all politicians have ignored the threat. When Tommy Thompson, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, announced his resignation, he cited an avian-influenza epidemic as one of the greatest dangers the United States faces. The World Health Organization’s conservative estimate of the number of deaths that an epidemic would cause is seven million worldwide. Because people transmit flu before they even have symptoms themselves, it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to halt the spread of the avian flu virus. And now, even a year later, scientists around the world are continuing to warn us about the dangers of avian flu.
Amazingly, instead of talking about what MAY happen, current news reports are now talking about what IS happening. Consider those reports, and others you’ve heard, in light of the full-blown Tribulation scene in Revelation 6.
Understanding Christ’s wrath is exciting because its appearance means that our redemption is drawing near, and He will be reclaiming the earth that is rightfully His. Yet it is also chilling because of what it means to earth’s inhabitants–including our unsaved family members, friends, and neighbors. God’s people must therefore mobilize and urgently warn as many as possible!
