Jesus' crucifixion and empty tomb
(Happy Firstfruits, Resurrection, and Easter Sunday – April 12, 2009) that whether the End-Times occurs in our lifetimes or some time in the future, Jesus’ promise of eternal life is still in effect to this day. This website focuses on news stories that may have implications for the fulfillment of last days prophecies. Many of these stories have a negative aspect since the time that is coming upon the whole world is going to be a time of trouble. However, almost two thousand years ago God came in the form of His Son Jesus Christ. He came to reveal God’s love to humankind and showed the greatest love with His sacrificial death and resurrection. As the apostle Paul wrote, “5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. 10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. 11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. 12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 13 For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of Him that was to come. 15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.” (Romans 5:5-15) This gift of salvation is open to anyone no matter what they may have done in their lives as the Gospel of John declares, “But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name.” (John 1:12) If you are interested in having eternal life then you can read my article titled “What must I do to be saved?” If we are not alive when the End-Times begin we will still experience our own end-times. We should be ready for either scenario.
