We see the terrible pandemic going on throughout the world, and the great fires and storms hitting and yet scripture tells us this is this nothing compared to what is coming..
And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. (Daniel 12:1)
For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be. (Mark 13:19)
John in Revelation 12:12 tells us...“Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.”
Eternal punishment, according to prophecy, had a certain time to begin, of course,
what the readers of the Word of God would not imagine is that it was to begin exactly at this current time. We have just entered the beginning of sorrows, and JESUS has listed the events that must happen day by day from this apocalyptic time onwards.
JESUS went to the Mount of Olives, and there the disciples still perplex with the destination of the Temple of Jerusalem according JESUS had spoken, then they made two questions to the Lord JESUS, saying privately:
Matthew 24:v.3 -
(1) What shall be the sign of thy coming?,
(2) and of the END of the world?
Well, the testimomy of JESUS is the Spirit of prophecy.
So He LISTED several events linked (1) to His coming and (2) to the END of this world-the current Devil's world-, as follow:
v.4 And Jesus answered and said unto His disciples:
- Take heed that no man deceive you. (this was the first concerns of JESUS). It seems that many have not keep the warning of JESUS and are being deceived by false and devilish theories.
v.5 - For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
(Soon , maybe next year, will manifest the Beast of the earth who has two horns like a lamb, actually a false lamb, a false messiah, AN IMPOSTOR, as said JESUS -John 5:v.43 combined with Revelation 13:v.11-18. Check it out).
Then there will be TWO Beasts reigning in the Earth, one in Rome and another in the holy city, spiritually called Sodom and Egypt-
Rev.11v.8 combined with 2 Thessalonians 2:v.3 to 12. Check it.-
v.6 - And ye shall hear of wars and RUMOURS of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for
all these things must come to pass, but the END is not yet.
v.7 - For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, ...:
(Will be G7, and G20, and EU, and UNO, among others Entities, DISSOLVED from now on? Day after day, the happenings of the current satanic World will run in this way according 2 Peter 3:v.7 and Revelation 11:v.18 and Micah 4:v.3).
... and there shall be: -
- famines; (literally fulfilling)
-
and pestilences;- (literally fulfilling)
-
and earthquakes, in divers places;
But,
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
As I above said, eternal punishment, according to prophecy, had a certain time to begin, of course, but it will not have end, it will never stop, it is for ever and ever.
So, upon the earth there will be distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea-
the Gentile peoples- and the waves-
the generations- roaring; We will see men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain-
Isaiah 26:v.20-21.
