Burned in the Fire

Matthew 13:40 -
"As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world."

Revelations 18:8 -
"Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. "

With all the wildfires happening in California this year and previous years, my mind often reflects back to these scriptures about the last days. I believe there are around 1,000 wildfires burning in all areas of California? That is pretty signficant. A few people have mentioned to me that they find it ironic that these fires have started (some by lightning) not long after California Supreme Court overthrew the ban on gay marriages. Yeah, I know...it seems a bit far fetched, but is it?

I found an interesting article online at the LA TIMES website. (Full Story)

"While 63% of adults nationally believe that their holy books are the word of God, just 53% of Californians think so.

Similarly, 56% of Americans say religion is "very important," while the figure in California is 48%.

Californians also are more likely to believe that scriptures were written by man rather than God. And they pray less than those elsewhere -- 33% attend religious services at least once a week, compared to 39% for the nation."

I was a little shocked after reading through the entire article and seeing the comparisons. I believe that California is a sign for the rest of us to be prepared. Are you ready for the Second Coming? Are you prepared enough if a wildfire started in your neighborhood (surrounding area)?

It's time folks. We have been warned!
