All I know for sure is God is in control and none of this surprised Him. Always remember that the Lord is setting things up in the world and yes some will be scary for "the Trumpet of God will sound and the dead in Christ will rise and we who are alive and remain will be caught up in the clouds to there be with the Lord forever!"

That is why it is crucial that our hearts are right with the Lord. We must not be among the 5 virgins that let their oil run out and missed the Bridegroom.
Come Lord Jesus!!!
