“All these are the beginning of sorrows” (Matthew 24:8).

Every day we awake in this world, there are dark clouds forming over the horizons on all corners on this earth building up to a “perfect storm” when life as we know it will be changed drastically: Jesus said: “Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken” (Matthew 21:26). “All these are the beginning of sorrows” (Matthew 24:8).

“Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? For thou dost not inquire wisely concerning this” (Ecclesiates 7:10).

Jesus tells us to not fear when he says: “And 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” (Matthew 24:5).

Let us stand firm in our faith knowing as it is written: “God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God” (Psalm 62:11).
