Imagine being at home at night enjoying the festivities of the holiday season. You feel safe with family or friends doing whatever you do during the holidays or perhaps nothing at all. At that moment, terror suddenly strikes. This was the scene for many of the residents in Indonesia right before their lives were swept away by a sudden and powerful tsunami.

An eruption at Anak Krakatau, one of the worlds most famous volcanoes, is believed to have caused the devastating wave, according to an AP report. Over 800 people have been injured and many more missing after the Tsunami hit after 9:27 pm on Saturday around the Sunda Strait. The disaster agency said the death toll may rise as more reports come in from affected areas.

This video shows the Indonesian band Seventeen in concert at the Tanjung Lesung beach in Banten performing as the tsunami struck.

    Jesus describes His return to the World @Matthew 24: 37-39

    37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

    38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark

    39 And they did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

    @Sense out of nonsense December 23, 2018 “But aren’t we all going to perish someday? ”

    That is the philosophy of the human mind, it is not in God’s plan. If you are thinking about “periish”, like leaving your body to go to your grave to become dust again, that is not completely true either.

    Because we do not know the time that Jesus will make His second entrance into the World, but should He enter today, He will find a massive number of people in their body who will never leave it.

    The other thing Jesus said about the “Days of the Great Tribulation” is that God will make those days shorter for the sake of His elects (His chosen people on Earth) because if He doesn’t do that no flesh would survive.

    You may think of the children as innocent–I do too–but God knows the condition of their growing heart; so it is possible that He would allow them to perish now, rather than allowing them to grow up, to start their wicked and sinful ways

    The coming of the Lord draws near, repent and turn away from our wicked ways. Jesus came to take away our sins. Let’s repent of our wicked ways and serve Him the Lord and savior of the world. He is merciful and his mercies endures forever. God sooooo loved us that He sent his son Jesus into the world that whoever believes in Him should not perish but shall have everlasting life! So let’s serve the one who sacrificed himself to deliver us from the evil that the devil has pronounced against us! This is the essence of Christmas!

      JEHOVAH’S ways are not our ways likewise HIS thoughts. In other words HE does not think like us, HE dose not do things like us..The birth of the SAVIOR has nothing to do with that pagan ritual call christmas. And it is happening exactly as HE said it would just before HIS second coming. Feasting, christmas is one of them, with excessive drinking,eating,partying. HE never left us any commands in regards to that one. It’s man thing,it’s the world thing.
      Let me give you a little something to replace that pagan feast if you’re one of them that observe it…
      1st CORINTHIANS 11 23 -26 ..That’s a clear command from HIM …Stick to it you need nothing more than that.

        But aren’t we all going to perish some day? Wicked or not. And it seems to me like the wicked are flying high and living good. There were probably innocent children who died in that Tsunami, meanwhile George Soros, who was a nazi collaborator in his childhood and who spends his billions trying to destabilize nations for his own sick aspirations, is probably on his 3rd heart transplant, refusing to die at almost 90

        @Sense out of nonsense…Let me first start of by apologizing on behalf of the other christians blaming everyone else when natural disasters occur. You see when these occur the only people who should be blamed are the Christians. We have been appointed by God to watch and pray over our country. Prophets have been anointed by God in every country, to see things before they happen. So many people in the church are doing their own thing, and only looking out for themselves, and their families, that no one is watching, and no one is praying.
