END TIMES:
"The Coming Storm" by Chris McDonald
The rumbles of judgment's thunder are on the horizon. We can see the distant forked streaks of lightning of an approaching storm. While we cannot say for sure when the Lord's return for His church will occur we can see from the signs of the time we live in that we are closer now to the rapture than any generation has been since the start of the church age of the Lord Jesus Christ. When the church is raptured the powers of hell will be unleashed upon this world unlike anything this world has ever seen nor will it ever see in its future. This is the church's greatest hour and her greatest challenge. We don't have much time to get the word out of this coming storm. Jesus called it Great Tribulation. <- FEATURE!
