"what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many."
Thus a time of lots of differing denominations like now.
"And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars"
Yep were there.
"For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places"
Yep. Sounds like todays news.
"Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake"
Also happening today. Martyrdom and hate growing daily.
"And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold"
Another sign of the times. Love itself is cold in the worldly but also runs icy in all to many church pews.
"When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand)"
Now which of you can "read and understand"???
"But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved"
This folks is the "easy" way to survive the great tribulation.
"but for the *ELECT'S* sake those days"???
