Matthew 24:8
The world stands at the threshold leading to “the beginning of
sorrows” and flirts with crossing over.
Wickedness will ignite the sorrows, but it is the elect that will
influence their duration and impact on humanity.

Matthew 24 Reflections
The world stands at the threshold leading to “the beginning
of sorrows” and flirts with crossing over.
Wickedness will ignite the sorrows, but it is the elect that will
influence their duration and impact on humanity. What can we do? We can take head, we can endure, we can stand
in holy places, and we can preach the gospel.
As a matter of fact the best thing we can do to ensure that these
sorrows and tribulations do not destroy us is to remove the barriers that block
the spreading forth of the gospel and to everything we can to share it to all
the world. These sorrows cannot end until the word of God
has been reached the whole world.
The time is coming when we will see many of the words
written in Matthew chapter 24 as memories rather than prophesies of what is yet
to come.

Matthew 24 Reflections
The world stands at the threshold leading to “the beginning
of sorrows” and flirts with crossing over.
Wickedness will ignite the sorrows, but it is the elect that will
influence their duration and impact on humanity.
There is no historic reference for how great
and terrible these sorrows will be. No
civil war, no war between nations, and not even the two World Wars can stand in
comparison to the war that is only beginning to be poured out on the earth at
this time. It will impact every nation and
every person on both a macro and a micro level. We have seen natural disasters, famines, and
pestilences that have totally ravaged cities, states, and even entire regions of
the world, yet what is to come will lay waste to the whole earth. No plague or disease yet seen on earth has
been as wide spread or lethal as the sicknesses that are to come in these last
days. Every tribulation that we survive
will reveal another one ready to destroy us, and yet it is the unprecedented individual
wickedness that will truly be the greatest devastation on this earth.
What can we do? We
can take heed, we can accept that these things must happen, we can prepare, we
can pray, we can endure, we can stand in holy places, and we can preach the
gospel. As a matter of fact the best
thing we can do to ensure that these sorrows and tribulations do not destroy us
is to remove the barriers that block the spreading forth of the gospel and do
everything we can to share it to all the world. These sorrows cannot end until the word of
God has been reached the whole world. Make
sure, that at the very least, they reach your own heart.
The time is soon coming when we will read what written in Matthew chapter 24 as memories rather
than prophesies of what is yet to come.
The world has flirted with the last days for several years but I fear
the flirting has gone too far this time.
The sorrows have begun, and whether they last months or years I don’t
know. I only know that I must be ready
because when they are finally at an end my Savior will be here again.
