WHAT WILL IT BE LIKE HERE, AFTER THE RAPTURE?
I enjoyed a reflective and restorative time on the waterfront last night (see video on The Net House page). However, after my quiet time, I heard a commotion down the boardwalk. I figured it was some loud and rowdy folks drinking or drugging, and I was right. Though I planned to take the long way around, in order to avoid an unhealthy confrontation, God actually led me into the middle of it. Of course, God does all things well. He gave me a good opportunity to witness.
However, I was thinking later, this is a muted picture of what this world will be like after the Rapture. The restraining influence of the Holy Spirit, through the presence of believers, will be gone.
Imagine the worst of life, the worst of society running lawlessly rampant. Imagine domestic disputes, child abuse, violence in the streets.
Imagine the filth that is kept under lock and key in the jails and prisons filling the community.
Imagine a world, with all of the worst and none of the good.
That is what this world will be like after the Rapture. It will be...
darkness with no light,
corruption with no cleansing,
abuse with no deterrent.
You really don't want to miss the Rapture.
