Great Tribulation

In recent years many movies were made, and continuing to this day, about epedemics, pandemics and contagions. Jesus warned that the time will come one day when indeed there will be pestilences (Matthew 24:6-8).

“All these are the beginning of sorrows” (Matthew 24:8); “And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake. But there shall not an hair of your head perish. In your patience possess ye your souls” (Luke 21:17-19). “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell” (Matthew 10:28).

Let us also be comforted by these words in the Holy Scriptures.

“The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come” (Isaiah 57:1).

 “The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net” (Micah 7:2).
