Matthew 24: The Last Days

 “As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”

⁴ Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. ⁵ For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many.

Is the government not trying to “ be the Savior”?

 ⁶ You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 

Is this not happening?

⁷ Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. ⁸ All these are the beginning of birth pains.

Is this not happening?

⁹ “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 

Is this not happening in other countries?  Are not Christians persecuted right here in America?

¹⁰ At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, ¹¹ and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.

Is this not happening now?  How many have turned away from the Truth of the Bible and become Christian in name only?

¹² Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, ¹³ but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. 

Do parents take care of their children the way they used to?  How many parents abused their child with transgender surgeries?  How many rioters have hurt people and don’t even appear to feel badly?  How many have proudly injured or killed another? Love has indeed grown cold.

¹⁴ And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”

Clearly, we are still working on this, but technolgy is increasing our speed 🙂

Prepare, Watch and Pray…
