I could not believe what I was reading on the news today as I
was reading about the Malaysia Airlines flight number 17. It was flying from
Amsterdam to Malaysia and as it was flying over Ukraine air space it was shot
down causing 298 passengers to death. On the other hand, I have been hearing news
about Israel all week long. In fact, we have been exposed to all sorts of
tragic events around the world for some time. It reminded me of what Jesus said
in Matthew 24:
“Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My
name, saying ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. And you will hear of
wars and rumors of ward. See that you are not troubled; for all these things
must come to pass, but then end is not yet. For nation will rise against
nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences,
and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then
they will deliver you up tribulation to kill you, and you will be hated by all
nations for My name’s sake. And then many will be offended, will betray one
another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and
deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow
cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And this gospel of the
kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and
then the end will come… Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven,
and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of
Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send
His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His
elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” v. 4-14,
30,31.
