How to Live Through the End Times

Genesis 1:26-28
26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so
that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the
livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move
along the ground.”
27 So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in
number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the
birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
…
31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was
evening, and there was morning—the sixth day. NIV

you also may be where I am. NIV

things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone,
but the things we cannot see will last forever. NLT
