The dark ages have passed

“And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions…The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the great and terrible day of the Lord to come, and it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered.” (Joel 2:28 &32)

We are in that afterward time. Christ has come and made his sacrifice. The dark ages have passed and all that was lost has been restored. We are preparing for that great and terrible day of the Lord. Great for those who are ready and terrible for those who have been deceived into thinking there is no hope.

I don’t believe there are any bad people. The sons of perdition were cast out of heaven, and all of us who choose to come to earth are good people. After we got here, things happened to take from us faith that we could return to heaven. Sometimes not only our faith is crushed, but that last glimmer of hope.

Are you in a good place right now, strong in the gospel, full of faith and good works? Then reach out, send a ray of hope and good will to someone who is struggling, and it will come back to you. One day when you stumble, when you are about to fall (as did the great king David) someone you helped will be there to help you to stand, and call on the name of the Lord for deliverance. It has happened to me and maybe to you. We are all weak and unfit for the kingdom alone, but together in Christ we are strong.
