Does anyone remember ebola of 2012? 12,913 fatalities. Pestilence – Webster’s definition: “any virulent (deadly) disease.” From unaids report on the global aids epidemic, since AIDS began in the 1920s to the present, there have been 36 million people to die of aids. Suring the 20th century alone, an estimated 70-100 million people died from famines. Continuing verse 7 “and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers (various) places.” from Wikipedia – famines – since 1980 to present approximately 3,000,000 have starved to death.
Low-end estimate is more than 12 million casualties in the past 50 years. The facts and figures – from Wikipedia list of ongoing armed conflicts – only counting conflicts with at least 100 deaths in the past two years, there are 32 wars, involving 64 countries right now. “When my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I…He only is my rock and my salvation:” If we only believe, there is no room for fear! The only way we will not feel worried or downright disturbed by such news as wars, famines, diseases, earthquakes is if we are unshakable in our faith in him whose name is Faithful! We must trust that God is good, that He loves us, and that we, His children, are in the palm of His hand as He’s said in John 10:27-29. The first and most important point I want you to give complete attention to is that even with the bad news in these first several prophecies, Jesus tells us do not be troubled. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:” Verses 6-7 “And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
For many shall come in My name, saying, I am Christ and shall deceive many.” From Wikipedia – List Of Messiah Claimants, and List Of People Claimed To Be Jesus – there have been 75 fakes, 12 of which, or 16%, are living right now. Verses 4-5, “…take heed that no man deceive you. Join me in Matthew 24 of God’s Word, as we examine the signs He gave us. As I was sharing with you last Friday, Jesus gave His followers signs to recognize when the season of his return was getting near.
