Here's what Jesus himself said concerning end-time events in the gospel of Matthew. His warnings are pertinent to those of us living today. The Lord Jesus Christ warns us not to be deceived, not to let our love for God and man grow cold, and finally to endure unto the end. Prayerful study of the Word of God helps us from being deceived.
Prayer and Holy Spirit lead action helps us to keep our love for God and man growing even in difficult times. This keeps our love from growing cold. Both the apostle Paul in ROMANS 12 and the apostle James in JAMES 1 give us godly advice on how to conduct our lives. If we do so, we do well and should grow in our love for God and for man thus pleasing our Lord.
"AND JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO THEM 'TAKE HEED THAT NO MAN DECEIVE YOU. FOR MANY WILL COME IN MY NAME SAYING I AM CHRIST AND SHALL DECEIVE MANY. AND YOU 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 NATION SHALL RISE AGAINST NATION AND KINGDOM AGAINST KINGDOM: AND THERE SHALL BE FAMINES, AND PESTILENCES AND EARTHQUAKES IN DIVERSE PLACES. ALL THESE ARE THE BEGINNING OF SORROWS.
AND MANY FALSE PROPHETS SHALL RISE AND SHALL DECEIVE MANY. AND BECAUSE INIQUITY SHALL ABOUND, THE LOVE OF MANY SHALL WAX COLD. BUT HE THAT SHALL ENDURE TO THE END, THE SAME SHALL BE SAVED'(Matthew 24:4-8 & 11-13)."
The LORD bless thee, and keep thee. The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace (Numbers 6:24-26).
