They will see the Son of Man coming
on the clouds of the sky, with power
and great glory. And he will send his
angels with a loud trumpet call, and
they will gather his elect from the
four winds, from one end of the heavens
to the other. Matthew 24:30-31
Before an orchestra strikes the first note of the symphony, the musicians begin to tune their various instruments. The sounds are very discordant as the strings or horns or trumpets are taken up and down the musical scale to make sure all is ready for the performance. I can almost hear the Last Trumpet being tuned. It’s almost time for the performance of the ages as one blast will announce the Beginning of the End.

…I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn—both men and animals—and I will bring judgment on all …. I am the Lord. The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt. Exodus 12:12-13
Then Moses said…”Go…slaughter the Passover lamb. Take a bunch of hyssop, dip it into the blood in the basin and put some of the blood on the top and on both sides of the doorframe. …When the Lord goes through the land to strike down the Egyptians, he will see the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe and will pass over that doorway, and he will not permit the destroyer to enter your houses and strike you down.” Exodus 12:21-23

For the Lord himself will come down from heaven,
with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel
and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in
Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive
and are left will be caught up together with them
in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we
will be with the Lord forever. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
On March 8, 2014 a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777, on its way from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, vanished over the South China Sea. Without a trace. And with 239 people on board. It’s being described as an “unprecedented mystery.” Where is it? Where have all the people gone?

When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you; and when you pass
through the rivers, they will not sweep
over you. When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned…Isaiah 43:2
On Wednesday, February 12th, I drove from home to our church office for a meeting. The drive took me fifteen minutes. I arrived at 12:25 p.m., knowing that the weather forecasters were calling for a significant storm to hit our area around 1:00 or 2:00 p.m. that afternoon. When I entered the office building, the air outside was icy cold, the sky was heavily overcast, but no ice or snow was falling.
