Matthew 24:6 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.
[Testimonies Vol. 9 pp 11] The agencies of evil are combining their forces and consolidating. They are strengthening for the last great crisis. Great changes are soon to take place in our world, and the final movements will be rapid ones. The condition of things in the world shows that troublous times are right upon us. The daily papers are full of indications of a terrible conflict in the near future. Men possessed of demons are taking the lives of men, women, and little children.
The enemy has succeeded in perverting justice and in filling men’s hearts with the desire for selfish gain. “Justice stands afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.” Isaiah 59:14. In the great cities there are multitudes living in poverty and wretchedness, well-nigh destitute of food, shelter, and clothing; while in the same cities are those who have more than heart could wish.
The cries of starving humanity are coming up before God, while by every species of oppression and extortion men are piling up colossal fortunes. This is the reason why The God of heaven sounds an alarm saying to earth’s inhabitants that even though you might prefer not to hear this it’s not business as usual anymore, because tectonic shifts are occurring beneath our feet, even as we speak. It is not meant to scare you; it is intended as a wakeup call so that we can live in readiness.
Matthew 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
