Pastor John,
After reading the excerpt from the Iron Kingdom book, “The Fourth Century”, I felt such a soberness. I got on my knees and began to pray. I felt a fear come over me and I asked Jesus to help me stay close to him.
I felt such a sadness for all God’s people. Everyone is waiting and preparing for the Antichrist to come, but it’s already here and has been here.
I saw this scene from the movie “Twister” in my mind. Everyone was a drive-in movie theater and just watching the show, not worrying about anything. Then the “weather specialist” saw on the radar that a tornado was coming. He jumps out of the van and yells, “It’s coming! It’s coming!” Then in the darkness there was lightening, and the other specialist said, “It’s already here!” People began running, screaming, looking for shelter. This is how I saw Christianity, people think “it” is coming, but it’s already here and they’re running for shelter, but running to the wrong place.
I started praying, “Please Jesus, let your people see you and know that you are the answer and that you are their shelter!”
This book is so good and so needed for God’s people. I’ve started reading those nine pages again because there is so much good food in them! Imagine when you’re finished!
