A Thief in the Night1972

Duane:
No one knows when it's going to happen. When they asked Him, even Jesus said that He didn't know the exact time. But it's going to happen. One of these days and it could be any minute now, Christ is going to come back for His own. After that it's going to be pretty awful here on Earth.

Jim Wright:
Like what?

Duane:
Well for example, the Bible says that right now the spirit of God is holding back the full force of evil in the world, but after the believers go, the spirit will too. That means a whole new ball game, only this time with no rules, evil will just take over. And the evil one the Bible calls the antichrist or the beast, will rule supreme. See we just don't know what it would be like to live in a world like that. The good around us still has the support of the spirit of God. After He goes... wow.

Jerry Bradford:
You really believe all that?

Duane:
Yes I do.

Jerry Bradford:
Lots of luck.

Duane:
I'll say one thing, anybody who's left here is going to need it.

Jim Wright:
If you really believe that, you couldn't even look at your watch without wondering if it was going to happen now.

Duane:
Yeah, but to the Christian it's something we look forward to. The non-Christian is waiting for the end of life and doom. The believer's waiting to meet the One who gave us life.
