Jesus warned us of how things would be at the end of the age. We are now living in that time and things are going to continue to grow worse and worse. I believe that many of you will experience the Tribulation Period within your lifetime. Trust me you don't want to be there. Please repent of your sins and place your faith in Christ before it is too late. Enter into Ark before the rains come.
Your Concerned Christian Friend,

How are you interpreting the expression:
ὁ γὰρ καιρὸς ἐγγύς
from the opening of the Revelation of John 1:3? Are you aware that the expression doesn't so much refer to a proximal time as much as it refers to a 'climate' in the sense of an immediate or existent occurrence? This expression could not have been interpreted to refer to a period of years if the intent was to convey a time greater than hours or days, much less weeks, months, years, decades or centuries.
