‘It’s Already Started But People Don’t See it’

by Lion of Judah (12 min 37 sec)

 

“And following Him was a large crowd of the people, and of women who were mourning and lamenting Him.  But Jesus turning to them said, ‘Daughters of Jerusalem, stop weeping for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. 
 
For behold the days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.’  Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us,’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’  For if they do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?’” Luke 23:27-30
 
“Surely now they will say, ‘We have no king, for we do not revere the Lord.  As for the king, what can he do for us?’  They speak mere words, with worthless oaths they make covenants, and judgment sprouts like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the field.  The inhabitants of Samaria will fear for the calf of Beth-aven. 
 
“Indeed, its people will mourn for it, and its idolatrous priests will cry out over it, over its glory, since it has departed from it…Also the high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, will be destroyed; thorn and thistle will grow on their altars; then they will say to the mountains, ‘Cover us!’ and to the hills, ‘Fall on us!’” Hosea 10:3-5, 8
 
There will be confusion and calamity in the end times.  But look around at what is happening today.  So many disagreements within His Church already.  The world is growing so ‘woke’ it makes it difficult to talk about Truth without offending someone.  So many misunderstand who God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit is. 
 
The video above is well worth watching.  It details just the tip of the iceberg as a warning.  Our only hope lays in our faithful and prayerful reading and studying of God’s Word – it is the only way you will find the Truth so you can recognise deceit wherever it occurs. 
 
Take care with love, especially His, Darlene (who still prays for you daily)

Pray for those in full-time service

Pray to uphold our Christian leaders – that they never compromise God’s Word, are bold and courageous in the face of evil.  Pray for their wisdom, safety, ingenuity, strength and for their families.

Pray for those with ongoing health concerns

Many of us have family, friends and loved ones with fragile health.  Pray God takes special care with them and protects them in practical ways and that the Lord will have mercy on them during this challenging time.
