I would like thoughts on this. First off, I know, it's a awful subject but it never occurred to me until yesterday so....me and my bible study group were talking about this scripture:
Rev 9:6 During those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.
And I got to thinking and asked them, Oh my goodness, can you imagine that?! Walking down the street and you see people who wanted to die soooo badly they tried to do it themselves, but death would not come! Could it be you see people walking around, with holes in their heads from shooting themselves? Or wrists all tore up, throats all bruised and whatever else? IF that really is the case, which I believe the word means what it says, the absolute horror and dire situation will be unimaginable! To not be able to escape the pain and suffering....wow. We need to pray for every unsaved person we know even more so!

It IS hard to grasp, isn't it? I know it has to do with the locusts who are demonic in origin. Since God is the Author of life and death, it is He who prevents them from being able to commit suicide.

What a horrible time to go through. Can you imagine people trying to escape by suicide, and even that doesn't work? The Lord really does control who dies and when, doesn't He? And here we are, thinking that we are in control! Haven't you heard of people trying to commit suicide, and it doesn't work...they get rescued just in time? And others kill themselves without any interference. It will be even worse during the tribulation, where they can't get any relief at all.

Yeah it is hard to grasp!! And yes, Leeza, what a horrible time to go thru for sure! When I realized this may be what people will go thru and find no relief made me REALLY want to share with the unsaved that Jesus is the way! I just don't want to think about what all those who don't accept Him will end up going thru and seeing! The horror of it is awful. For whatever reason that just really struck me this time....truly they 'know not what they do'! Such as the video clip I shared of Ronald Reagan Jr being so arrogant about his atheism and saying something along the lines of 'I will gladly go to Hell' or some such comment. So sad that he will see what that arrogance cost him. At that time, no one's going to care who his 'daddy' was!!
IDK, yeah Leeza, can you imagine trying to escape all the suffering and not have any relief!!! OH man, oh man.....how devastating, tragic and sad. Now is the time of salvation. If anyone reading this hasn't accepted Christ, please ask Him into your heart today. He is calling you and if you feel that tug at all, don't push it away but take it and look at it - you'll see! IF you need help or have any questions, please ask! We'd be glad to help you thru it.

Don't even get me started on Ronald Reagan Jr.. How very tragic. People who believe that way have nothing to lose by asking Jesus into their heart and believing in Him as Lord and Savior along with His deity. Nothing to lose yet everything to gain by faith in Him alone.

Amen to that Shiloh!!! It really is very tragic! SO snide and mocking, but how quickly that will change when they see for themselves! Talk about regret!!! That's not even close to the word that I am sure they will feel. And they thought they were oh so wise!

Yeah and that's like Steven Hawking. It's like, "Do it NOW! What has he got to lose either, except eternal life and being with our Lord and Saviour, which is everything. |
