Of ALL THE times in human history for us to be alive...

[Jaxxi]

Either we chose, or were chosen, to be here now, at the end , for the grand finale! What a glorious, but treacherous time to be alive! Almost every invention ever made is at our disposal, our sinks turn on and toilets flush like magic by themselves, the enemy is on the prowl doing double-time with all his best tricks to gain as many souls as he can and devour us, and we risk being left behind- only to face beheading for refusing the mark of the beast after we are tortured. What is our calling? Why are we here NOW, of all the times to be alive?

To preach the gospel of the Kingdom and enforce the victory of Christ on Satan and his kingdom. Satan knows his time is about up. Sin indeed abounds, but God's grace is always sufficient. There never were any "good old days". Those who suffered terrible persecution in the early church knew the grace of God was sufficient. Don't let fear rule. If there were no Christians here and now, Satan's rampage would never end. God has chosen to deal with Satan through the people He calls His own. When enough Christians answer the call, Satan will be finished. This hymn by Martin Luther says it all - 500 years ago.

It's these trying times that some people will stray due to hatred. The love of many will grow cold. It's hard to watch current events and not get wrapped up in it. If things keep getting worse I'm going to have to shut down my social media habits.

You're right - Yahweh determines the time and place of our births:
-“And he made from one man every race of men to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted epochs and the fixed boundaries of the places where they would live;” (Acts 17:26)

He formed us:
-“For You formed my innermost parts; You knit me [together] in my mother’s womb” Psa 139:13
-“Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?” Mal 2;10
-“The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.” Job 33:4
"I will put ligaments on you, place muscles on you, and cover you with skin. I will put breath in you, and you will live. Then you will know that I am Yahweh." Eze 37:6

Among other Scripture:
-We're to occupy til He comes (Luk 19:13).
-God's armor is available to us
"Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
"Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." Eph 6
