Yes, we are living in the end times, but that does not mean He has abandoned us! He is sending His Son back to us!!! Cheer up! It’s only the end of evil, not us! I think you should start reading your Bible. Yes, it’s scary, but it’s also the greatest gift to come!
The Lord already told us we would be persecuted in His name. Count it as a badge of honor!! Chin up!
I read my Bible almost every day and I know the outcome. I am just a little sad for my kids and (hopefully) grandkids. But I know God remains in control.
That doesn't mean we can't defend ourselves and our property.
