Agree with you. Totally agree. It used to be that I was excited that it seemed we could be the generation to go through the tribulation and not taste death before we meet our Lord. But as it unfolds there is a sense of amazement, but sadness. Many are so lost and it might come to pass that even we will need to stay vigilant in guarding our faith and salvation.
I’ve been reading the OT with the end time in view (never actually wrote things down) and I came across this last night and had to laugh because I have been a post-tribulationist since the mid 70’s:
Amos 5
“18 Alas, you who are longing for the day of the Lord,
For what purpose will the day of the Lord be to you?
It will be darkness and not light;
19 As when a man flees from a lion
And a bear meets him,
Or goes home, leans his hand against the wall
And a snake bites him.
20 Will not the day of the Lord be darkness instead of light,
Even gloom with no brightness in it?”
I do know that this may not pertain to those living a righteous and just life, but I did have to laugh at how God always covers all the bases.
Another thing I learned is that at that time is there will be a drought and people will thirst, but not for water, for the word of the LORD.
