nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom and there shall
be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in diverse places. All these
are the beginning of sorrows. You say, why is this the beginning of sorrows? Because
it's going to get a whole lot worse after this. And look, you know, we think
about if this were to happen during our lifetimes, you kind of wonder, am I going
to survive the Great Tribulation and get raptured? I mean, quite honestly, we have to
ask ourselves a question, are we going to survive the beginning of sorrows? Because
that's going to be a time a lot of people are being killed as well. And I
don't believe every Christian will be spared from being killed. I don't believe
that. I believe there's going to be a lot of Christians that died during the beginning of
sorrows. And you know what the best life insurance you can buy is? The best safety
insurance or whatever? The best safety insurance is love and serve God. Because
here's the reality. God needs you. God needs me. You say, why? Because God will not
come down from heaven during the beginning of sorrows and preach the gospel
to that person that randomly comes by the brook trying to just get water to survive.
That's going to be your job if that happens. If that happens during our
lifetime, that's our job. And look, it's going to be very random soul winning
probably during the beginning of sorrows. So look, you can't use the excuse, well,
somebody else will knock on their door. It's like, no, this is the opportunity for
that person to get saved. And guess what? If you want God to protect you during
that time period, the best way to be protected is serve God. And you know what?
By and large, I think those that are serving God, God will protect. Why? Because
He needs us. We need God, but make no mistake about it, when it comes to saving
souls, God is not going to change His method. It's going to be the same during
the end times, my friend, and God needs us. And here's the thing, when it comes to
the two witnesses, and it comes to 144,000, that's happening towards the latter half.
The two witnesses come midway through, so during that first three and a half years,
we don't have the two witnesses to help us. You're probably not going to have
some internet ministry to reach thousands of people either during that
time period. Why? Because people probably aren't going to be watching TV every day.
It's going to be chaos around the world. It's going to require soul winners, every
single person in the place they live to rise up and to preach the gospel during
the beginning of sorrows. Let's close in a word of prayer.
