Evil is on the increase nowadays. It takes various dimensions. It cuts across religious and secular lives. Some religious fanatics send people to their early graves under false doctrines and pretenses. On the secular side, terrorist groups perpetrate a lot of evil on the innocent masses. There is also the kidnappers who unleash terror on the people too.
Nations test their weapons of mass destruction on other rival nations. All these are man’s inhumanity to man which is a sign of the end time. But God who knows yesterday, today and tomorrow in his infinite mercy takes the lives of the good ones sooner to save them from impeding dangers and futuristic evil. This i think God does to prepare the good people for the greater glory ahead.
