Many believers in these end times go through anxiety and grave concern (tribulation) over the future as they experience and eyewitness society degenerating all around them, becoming more corrupt year after year and generation after generation. Many feel disheartened, hopeless, and powerless to stop society’s slide into lawlessness and sin. We fear not only for society, but that we may get caught and trapped in God’s wrath along with the evil, godless, hard-hearted, secular, sin-filled people who surround us.

Faithful believers shouldn’t needlessly worry about God’s upcoming wrath upon an evil wicked society that they may happen to be living amongst, but instead continue to focus on living righteously, according to God’s word, and doing His will. God once flooded the Earth in judgment, but righteous Noah found grace in the eyes of YHWH (the Lord), and God saw to it that Noah and his family, a total of eight persons, were spared from the floodwaters on the ark (Genesis 6:8; 1 Peter 3:20). God once promised Abraham that He would not destroy Sodom for the sake of ten righteous persons (Genesis 18:22-33). God did not destroy Sodom before He warned Lot and his family to flee from the city and to not look back upon it (Genesis 19:15). God cares more for protecting the righteous than He does for punishing the wicked. God will provide an escape exit or a shield for His saints when He brings forth His judgment and wrath upon the wicked.
