In spite of the on going events and the fear and uncertainty, God is in control and according to much scripture, He has a plan.
God’s plan is for Christ to return to this earth to usher in God’s kingdom in all of it’s power and fullness.
All of God’s plans thoughout eternity have come to pass. This plan will also come to pass.
What a source of comfort and peace in these troubled times.
But before He comes to earth, He will first come in the clouds and take His born again people up to Heaven with Him.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
[17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
[18] Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Jesus is coming soon.

“Troublesome times are here, — filling men's hearts with fear. — Freedom we all hold dear now is at stake. —. Humbling your hearts to God — saves from the chastening rod. — Seek the way pilgrims trod, Christians awake.
Chorus
“Jesus is coming soon, — morning or night or noon. — Many will meet their doom, — trumpets will sound. — All of the dead shall rise, — righteous meet in the skies, — going where no one dies, — heavenward bound.
“Troubles will soon be o'er, — happy forevermore — When we meet on that shore, — free from all care. — Rising up in the sky, — telling this world goodbye, — Homeward we then shall fly, — glory to share.”
