Luke 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 26 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.
Even though our hearts go out to the latest victims in Tennessee, we have observed that in recent years the term “Our thoughts and Prayers” is beginning to sound like a broken record, for currently we have a lot more mass shootings recorded for this year, than days which have elapsed thus far, 131 versus 90. The lamblike beast is the only nation on earth that allows its young school aged children to be targeted by persons, who for one reason or another, might decide to do the unthinkable.

[Patriarchs And Prophets pp 101] The issues of the press teem with records of murder—crimes so cold-blooded and causeless that it seems as though every instinct of humanity were blotted out. The spirit of anarchy is permeating all nations, and the outbreaks that from time to time excite the horror of the world are but indications of the pent-up fires of passion and lawlessness that, having once escaped control, will fill the earth with woe and desolation. Even now, in the present century, and in professedly Christian lands, there are crimes daily perpetrated as black and terrible as those for which old-world sinners were destroyed.
Luke 21:22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. 23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
