Jesus is our blessed hope, and He is our only hope.
I ask that you spend a moment to watch this short video (about 5 and a half minutes) and then read what I have said here. It is of the greatest importance. I also encourage you to read What Christians Believe by CS Lewis.
Jesus' followers, such as myself, will be gone soon, in the twinkling of an eye. This event is known as the rapture of the Church. We will return to the world with Him after 7 years, to rid the world of its evil. During those 7 years, the world will go through what is known as the tribulation. It is also known as the time of Jacob's (Israel's) trouble. The final 3.5 years will be especially bleak (unparalleled across all of history, in fact). By the end of the tribulation, almost everyone left behind will be dead. If you have been left behind, praise Jesus to your death. Do not receive the mark of the beast: the allegiance to evil, placed in the hand or forehead. Rather, be killed for praising Jesus, starve praising Jesus, or run away to live in exile while praising Jesus. As difficult as it will be, you will receive a special crown (the martyr's crown) in heaven if you resist the beast's system and become a martyr for Jesus. Read Revelation in the Holy Bible. I believe the King James Version to be the most trustworthy English translation. Here is one small part of it:
Revelation 20:4 (That is, chapter 20, verse 4)
"And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years."
See my project "From Zane" for what I believe to be valuable information about all of this. Some of the speculative information was a little naïve, as I have learned much more information since I made the original documents. But rest assured, the overall message remains the same to this day, and I have posted updates along the way if you would care to read some of the specifics. I'm part of a community of "watchmen" that sees how world events are connecting to prophecy in the Bible. I'm very thankful to be a part of this final generation. I truly believe that I and many others will be taken directly to heaven instead of having to die. I hope as many as possible will place their faith in Jesus, as it's already written in Revelation that many will not.
I have also made a playlist called "Satan Smackdown", which contains several videos involving science, philosophy, and world events, all of which encourage a Christian worldview. I hope you will check it out, even if only to sharpen your own arguments:
