If a person is fearful, they may have to check their proclaimed status as a Christian. Only those who are not in right standing with the RIGHTEOUS JUDGE and KING are fearful.

Looking forward to Christ's Second Coming, keeping the oil of the Holy Spirit in their lamps ever before the Lord for him to convert, deliver and purify them FIRST, and then share the Gospel with the world around them.

Matthew 24:1-14

"And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. "


Matthew 28:19-20 (King James Version)

"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen."

sometimes its dangerous that ppl dont have fear, because there are people that are not ready but dont have a sense of urgency. I would say we should not be afraid but cautious that our lives reflect the image of Jesus. There is no way we can have God living in us and still have sin in us.

You folks scare me because what should be clear to a HOLY SPIRIT filled individual seems to escape your understanding.
Use logic as inspired by the HOLY SPIRIT. Let's look at 'what makes sense', Christians.
The FATHER would not punish HIS obedient children with the disobedient people surrounding them. *let me make it clear, everyone is not a child of GOD. That takes a certain relationship through CHRIST JESUS.*
Look at Noah. HE took him out of the path of the wrath.
HE says HE will gather us up to HIM before the Great Tribulation occurs.
We know the consequences of disobedience. Because of our great love for HIM we obey HIM and do not violate HIS Holiness. That's why we won't suffer those consequences.
The ANSWER KEY, the WORD of GOD is clear to those who 'have ears'.
It isn't rocket science.

Tribulation doctrine is not easy. My church taught a pre-tribulation rapture and backed it up with scripture. I heard the other doctrines as I got older. There are several accepted understandings in orthodox Christianity. The one thing we all can agree on is that Jesus is coming back- and that's all that matters.

@ AnDrea:
True, it is not easy, especially when there are so many who have not received revelation because they don't know the character of their FATHER in Heaven yet, lol.
Amen to JESUS is indeed coming back...and correct in that is all that matters.
