If you are not a Christian, see my page, Jesus Said: I Stand at the Door and Knock: Also see my pages, They Came to Jesus, and Jesus Gets a Vistor in the Night. We live in perilous times! Romans 10 is quite succinct: 8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even
in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God
hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be
ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between
the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. When a tragedy like this apparent shoot-down occurs, whether false-flag or not, I always wonder if Global, evil,
entities don't use it to draw our attention away from some other dastardly shenanigan they are perpetrating, elsewhere on
the planet. |

New Testament passage 1 Corinthian 15 gives us such hope and comfort. He notes the Rapture, also. 1 Corinthians 15: 50 Now
this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep,
but we shall all be changed, 52
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised
incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption,
and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed
up in victory. 55 O
death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye
know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

New Testament passage Romans 4 is so comforting, that saving faith in Jesus Christ gets us to heaven. Romans 4: 1 What
shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? 2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory;
but not before God. 3 For
what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. 4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of
grace, but of debt. 5 But
to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. 6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the
man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, 7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute
sin. 9 Cometh this blessedness
then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness. 10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision,
or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. 11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith
which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised;
that righteousness might be imputed unto them also: 12 And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in
the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.

13 For the promise, that he should be the heir
of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. 14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and
the promise made of none effect: 15 Because
the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression. 16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all
the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us
all, 17 (As it is written, I have made thee
a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which
be not as though they were. 18 Who against hope
believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead,
when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb: 20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to
God; 21 And being fully persuaded that, what
he had promised, he was able also to perform. 22 And
therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. 23
Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; 24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord
from the dead; 25 Who was delivered for our
offences, and was raised again for our justification.
