“But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with giddiness, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come upon you unexpectedly.  For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth.  Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”  Luke 21:34-36   There are even some who are not truly Saved (Matt. 7:20) who anticipate that we are heading into some sort of end times scenario sometime soon.  A lot is transpiring in the world and it seems that worldwide the eyes are upon President-elect Donald Trump and what will take place beginning shortly.   Well we have spoken many times how the Bible tells Believers to be watching and ready (Matt. 24:42-44), in fact this article is being written in lieu of one of the regular Watching & Ready columns that have become a regular staple at All Will Stand’s website.  Yet, consider the opening passage here, especially the following ‘that Day come upon you unexpectedly’.   Just how could that happen?  Well for some, it certainly will be that they are absolutely watching and ready, but for others, many who profess to be Christians (Rom. 9:6) they are literally asleep ‘in the pew’.  Consider these words from Jesus in Revelation:   “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot.
