Some of us will be removed first by being killed.
And this is already happening.
The Muslim scriptures are not changed and they study theirs more diligently than many of us who have the truth and the love of God in our hearts.
It is time that we know the meaning of "They overcame him (the false prophet and the Beast) by the word of their testamony and the blood of the Lamb for they loved not their lives unto death."
Moreover there is a large attrition rate of Christians from the Church, not that they all have stopped believing, but some who go to church, here is the enemy of our beloved Church on the face of this planet right now, Israel is in their homeland, the world is set for WAR and they are planning a bake sale!!!! They just aren't interested.
Who takes it seriously?
You think we'd be really training ourselves. The wise virgins went and bought oil for their lamps so that they would not go out when the bride groom was delayed. The end of the parable is that the ones who were ready went in when the bride groom came but not the others, then they were gone out buying oil. Interesting it was OIL they were buying.
Is there any wisdom left in the Church?
There are more secularist who will discuss the problem.
There is a great need of people to be trained to read Arabic and to know how to evangelize Muslims.
This is being ignored because it is just too much of a sticky wicket, isn't it.
Is there such a course online?
It will get to the point that there will be signs and wonders associated with Islam, I don't mean a tree bowing in prayer and Allah written on the side of the fish, but significant things. Not becuase I have faith in Islam, the Bible tells us it will happen.
And will we have an answer? Not if we aren't prepared. And how many of those who have been holding bake sales will be able to not believe in Islam when it gets convincing? They can learn now but not if they get sucked into it, not if they marry a Muslim and then want out. They can get out, like there is no compulsion in religion, not if you understand the Muslims. You can die to get out.
Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts know enough to be prepared but does the Church?
