Sorry, my bad. He has 2 years, I have equated that with the two thousand years for the Lord which are like 2 days, and to the six days in Genesis that it took God to create man.

I was thinking about the week (of years) in the book of Daniel. One day being 1,000 years which means it’s probably past midnight on day 6 now.
“Rejoice with trembling”
Psalm 2:11 KJV
Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
2 Peter 3:8 KJV
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Daniel 9:27 KJV
And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

I assent. I've seen lengthy responses in the "paralysis by analysis" category. answers veered off on tangents & tangents of other tangents. I prefer short compact "to the point" statements. It even can be selfish to render a long answer. Most people don't want to read the lengthy response.
Yes it is the end times, and yes it is serious if you are not in Christ and ready for it spiritually.
The 5 wise were living the Christian life, not living unto and for themselves.

Also God will guide us about our finances and He Himself is our provider. Remember when His people were brought out of Egypt and into the desert that He provided them with manna daily. Also remember Elijah too when God had the birds bring food to him daily. Also keep Noah and Joseph in mind - God gave them specific instructions on how to prepare for upcoming disasters and they followed them to the T.
Most important of all, build up your faith so that you endure to the end and won't become part of the falling away.
Jesus said…..
Matthew 6:19-21,24-26 KJV
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
[20] But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
[21] For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
[24] No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
[25] Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
[26] Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
I met with the Local church for 20 years, I trained saints in Taipei to go to Russia with the gospel, and I was trained by Witness Lee.
Who is "we".Some years ago we were sending gospel leaflets (in the language of the country) to various believers overseas and people would find them, for example, on a train. Then write to us asking for more.
I was involved with the printing of Living Stream Ministry for a few years.
today I am a Gideon distributing Bibles, I feel better about that than pushing some man's ministry.
