"Christian Bookstores disappearing Amos 8:11,12"

The above article tells of how Christian Bookstores are closing across our land. This is a sad day for America, especially because we are on the eve of the Great Tribulation when no one can buy a good Bible...only politically correct ones--if one can purchase a Bible at all.

Here's what Amos 8:11,12  has to say:
"Behold the days come, saith the Lord GOD that I will send a famine in the land, not of bread, nor of thirst for water but of hearing the words of the LORD.
And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east;
they shall run to and fro to seek the Word of the LORD and shall not find it."

Not only will Bibles be gone, but also sound Christian books from authors like C.S. Lewis, Corrie Ten Boom, Brother Andrew etc.
Will we be able to get Christian music CDs like Marty Goetz, Gary Rea, Terry Clark etc.
Will we be able to get Crosses and other reminders with Scripture verses on them? Like Amos said there will be a dearth for those things with the Word of God on them.
I suspect that the Internet will not offer them either. Let's hope that door will still be open.
But one can foresee the LIGHT dimming across our land,

The Hezekiah Complex
Some persons reading this could possibly say," Oh well, at least I won't be here when it gets worse. I'll be raptured."

That was the same attitude that Hezekiah had when God told him that an evil time was coming upon his nation, but that Hezekiah  would not live to see it. Did Hezekiah think:
"Oh well, it doesn't really concern me, so I'm not worried about it." ?

Hezekiah did die, and his evil son Manasseh brought on those very evil times that God prophesied about.
( 2 Kings 21:16)
Church history tells us that Manasseh had the prophet Isaiah sawed in half.
Manasseh later repented of his evil life and called out to God (2 Chronicles 33:12 and following.)

Building Treasure in Heaven 
We can see that the night cometh when no one can work (witness) John 9:4.
Now is the hour to redeem the time, before it is too late.
"Those who have been given much, much will be required" Luke 12:48.
May we who can see what is coming down the road have resources on hand for our loved ones who cannot yet see, and who will not be able to have the freedom nor the accessibility to get those thing necessary to sustain them during the Last Days.
They will thank us in eternity and we will be filling up our treasury in Heaven. Luke 12:33.
