A passage we just reviewed,Revelation 9:20-21,lists t5he top seven sins of the Tribulation:

1. Rebellion against God ("they did not repent")
2. Worship of demons
3. Idolatry
4. Murders
5. Sorceries (drugs)
6. Sexual immorality
7. Thefts

It is interesting to compare this list with the one given by the apostle Paul in Colossians 3:5-6,which mentions sexual immorality,impurity,lust,evil desires and greed,which is idolatry.Paul then reminds his readers,Because of these,the wrath of God is coming.

Is it ever!
We contend that even though these seven sins of the Tribulation will become rampant after the church has been raptured,already they are among the most dominant sins of our society.

REBELLION AGAINST GOD
Rebellion is a way of life today,both nationally and individually.Government,media,and education policy is relentlessly removing every vestige of our nation's heritage that relates to God,prayer,the Bible,and Christian values.

WORSHIP OF DEMONS
Twenty years ago Satan worship was scarcely heard of;today it is rampant.Satan worshipers are frequently on the evening news because of some satanic ritual that killed or maimed someone.Witchcraft,too,is becoming rampant,even respectable.

IDOLATRY
Unredeemed man always resists worshiping God by faith but demands aids to worship-things made with human hands,from pictures to images to relics and icons.No wonder Vladimir Lenin concluded that man is incurably religious.

MURDERS
One of the major social problems of our day is the rise in the murder rate.Many of the younger generation have no respect for human life;witness the increasing number of murders aged ten to eleven years old.The current violent crime rate-almost twenty-five thousand murders each year in America-is making this once Christian nation the murder capital of the world.

DRUGS
From the Greek word translated sorceries in the King James Bible we get the word pharmacy.Unfettered drug use will be common during the Tribulation.But even today,drug and alcohol use is skyrocketing out of control.

SEXUAL IMMORALITY
From the White House to the movie theater,it is accepted policy today to disregard sexual purity before marriage and sexual fidelity afterward.Many educators have all but abandoned teaching virtue;instead they have made a virtue out of homosexuality and lesbianism,which for centuries were called perversions and in the Bible are called an abomination and unnatural.

THEFTS
Gated communites and sercurity systems are becoming a way of life today.Why? Because of the rise in theft.I can remember the day when I never locked my doors and could leave my keys in my car.

GOD BLESS

Hello God Sent,

I was just thinking about what it was like just a brief 50 years ago and trying to compare it to today. The difference is mind-boggling. It is apparent that the devil is loose and working overtime. Further, things appear to be getting worse and worse. Even in the Christian News, we read things about churches that are almost impossible to believe. The one example that always hits me is the recent vote of a church about whether JESUS CHRIST was/is GOD or not. Let's be blunt: the devil is also loose in many churches, more and more.

YES!, I hope that JESUS will come soon.

Love In Christ,
Tom

Romans 3:21-22 NASB  But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction;
