America: Gripped by Fear
Dr. Ernest L. Easley
Genesis 15.1-6
As of September 11th... America has been Gripped by Fear! Fear has gripped us as a nation like an object in a vice! And that should not surprise us! Now... the recent events should sadden us... but not surprise us!
In speaking of His second coming... Jesus said in Luke 21.25-28, ''And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress (anxiety) of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of heaven will be shaken.

The fact that ''men's hearts are failing them from fear'' should cause us to ''look up and lift up our heads, because your redemption draws near.''
In 2 Timothy 3...

And from such people turn away.''
Somebody says, ''Ernest, are these the last days? Are we living in the last days?'' Are you listening? Don't misquote me! We are living in the last days! These are the last days! The perilous times in which Paul spoke of to Timothy have arrived!
And if you don't believe it... listen to Hebrews 1.1-2, ''God, who at various times and in different ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His ...
