The judgments did not end in the time of the Old Testament. God is the same today as he has always been. The most death and destruction is yet to come, because the world has rejected God. Man does not value righteousness, love, or truth, so God will remove all that is his (the rapture) and the world will be plunged into darkness. Evil will rule for a short time. Man shall reap what he has sown. As when the Destroyer came to earth before, there will again be weeping and gnashing of teeth. The tribulations will be unlike anything seen before nor will ever be seen again. The only way to escape is through Jesus.
