Angels are eternal beings who existed before the
creation of Adam and Eve but they cannot see into the future; they
only know what has been predicted in the Bible. Satan and his fallen
angels gleefully orchestrated the Viking raids into England and
Western Europe from 800 to 1100 A.D. that left a trail of death and
destruction. The Vikings killed, plundered, raped and took slaves
while the papacy of Rome continued its meddling and the generations
living through this time period suffered greatly on earth and also
in hell when they found out there was no salvation in the Roman
Catholic Church. The light of the Gospel was very dim as the Vikings
and their victims died in their sins and left behind all they had
accumulated on earth. It's always healthy to have an eternal
perspective when looking at life events, because many times we don't
have our thinking lined up with God. There would be a great revival
on earth today if we could hear the wailing of the people who
perished. As the time of the Antichrist draws near, we would do well
to remember Jesus' words: "The harvest truly is great, but the
laborers are few: pray you therefore the Lord of the harvest, that
he would send forth laborers into his harvest." |
