If we review what the Bible indicates through prophecy, and specifically what Jesus said about the End Times, we would have to come to the conclusion that things will become worse, not better, as we approach the Tribulation and the end of this Age. Many people take comfort in the belief that God will rapture Christians out of here when it gets rough. However, even respected experts from many denominations who have spent their lives studying these matters cannot agree on the timing of the rapture. And God is not telling us. Others believe God will supernaturally protect them like He did the Israelites when God brought the plagues upon Pharaoh. This thinking is faulty to a great degree. Was David spared of Saul? Was Moses spared of griping people and trying to manage survival in a desert? Was Joseph spared prison? Were the disciples spared prison and persecution? Look at your own life as a Christian. Have you been spared every problem, heartache and challenge just because you are a Christian? God gives people strength and supernatural provision to get through things, and He does sparelife. But He does not remove all the difficulties. Most Christians have not given this any thought. Therein lays the problem, and the motivation to write this book. Most Christians agree we are in the End Times and logically agree things will get progressively worse, yet have given no thought as to how they will deal with them.
