In this first of two broadcasts, Mike walks through the book of Revelation and other passages regarding the end times in Scripture, including Daniel, Matthew, and Luke, to examine how God encourages and exhorts us to prepare. There are multiple exhortations and warnings throughout the prophecy of the tribulation period such as "Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints." (Revelation 13:10), without an indication that we will be raptured before these events take place. Runaway inflation and 1/4 of the earth's population being killed are some of the early events. It is critical that we warn people of the dangers to come.
