Penned by Esther Ilnisky back when pens were more important than they are today, this article is worth reading today maybe more than when it was first published.

Esther says;

Dear Reader,

 

What you are about to read herein, then titled, “Christian Life-style in the end time””, first appeared in the “Pentecostal Evangel”, June 29, 1980, and reprinted as a cover-featured article, April, 1991. A letter from the Editor requesting the reprint stated, “A reader suggested a reprint and the staff thinks it would be a good idea.”

 

At the time of its first printing, we had just returned to America after 7 years in war-torn Lebanon where we experienced some raw realities about the approaching end times.

 

To re-do the article again now is not my idea. For several months, the Holy Spirit has been nudging me to take a good, long look at some of my past writings. This is one of them. I have not changed a word of it except to re-title it. It will amaze you, I promise, to realize how its content – though based on events of that time period – still blatantly, palpably relates to the Word which is, of course, changeless and forever relevant.

 

I toyed with the idea of omitting the opening paragraph because it gave the article a rather negative beginning. At the time, there was a rash of false prophets going around confusing and misleading people. I believe the Holy Spirit prompted me to leave it as is so, obviously, it just might need to be reiterated in 2013.

 

I trust this piece will do its job to alert you, my readers, to roll up your spiritual sleeves, determining to fulfill your GOd-ordained purpose on Planet Earth…

 

…for such a (critical) time as this: “Jesus’coming – indeed too close for comfort!”
