If you think Ferguson was bad, take it as a glimpse of a full-blown version, how the world will be like in the days after the Lord will have gathered His own, those who love Him and obey His commands (John 14:15 If you love Me, you will obey My commands.). The elect who will be alive from Matthew 24:31 will not see the further, stepped up worldwide chaos in progress (the Wrath Phase) while many who are currently in slumber, playing church, doing a once a week christian or draw near to God only by lip service or those who do not have a relationship with Christ, Jesus will have come and gone as a thief in the night - Isaiah 29:13 Why the Lord said, For as much as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their heart far from me; (Jesus quoted it in Matthew 15:8 of those who claim to be followers. v.9 But in vain they do worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of man.) - Having been as robbed of their promise (the burglary allegory), they will go through the wrath phase in order that they may finally produce the afore-missing fruit of their faith. I will pray ahead for them to seek God and trust the Lord in the wrath episodes: trumpet and bowls to come. People will ask Jesus on that day, why are they left out? Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. - Matthew 7:21 There is always hope in this way. Those left behind will have the chance to fight like mighty warriors against the two beasts of Revelation 13 even with beheading and martyrdom. In the same way that God would not allow the fallen Adam to eat from the Tree of Life so that Adam and his descendants may live as sinners forever, God will not want lip service believers to be taken as cowards forever. Stand firm and keep watch!
