Can you start to see the picture painted of our Global society? True enough main media can focus on the contrary state of the universe, but it isn't fearmongering to caution people that we are indeed in the "Last of Days". Most major world religions agree that there will be a "coming of the ages" in which a people will reign with the Divine Creator through a path of restoration and divine order. Chrisitanity points to the "önly path of righteousness" being provided through Jesus Christ. The prosepctus of The Holy Bible sites that belief in God and that he sent His Son Jesus as the redeemer, baptism in the name of Jesus with the promise of the abiding comfortor, the Holy Spirit. A most strikingly curious atribute to God is His Grace. He so delicately conveys His plan and purpose through His Word. As one reads the text, the Spirit of the content reveals a hope and peace that comes from the Author of Life. Take comfort in knowing your redemption draws nigh.


Matthew 24

1And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
2And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
3And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6And 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.
7For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8All these are the beginning of sorrows.

I just love the summation and  how this passage ends.. these are the beginning of sorrows! To think what an awsome gift to be allowed existence to witness the promises of God revealed unto His creation.

2 Timothy 3

1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
9But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was.
10But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
11Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
12Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
15And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

So let the reader find comfort knowing the Creator has laid a masterfully crafted plan that will be soon fulfilled. Let His Word of encouragement nurture your very spirit and motivate you unto perfection through Grace, let fear be for the weak and unknowing, but let those with faith soar as the Eagles above the storm.
