END OF YEARS: TRIAL OF OUR FAITH.
The events that will unfold
in the coming last years, the “end of days” will try the faith of all people
alive on the earth. Unfortunately, there are those who preach and many who believe
that they will escape these things because they will be as it is often used
“raptured” from the earth. But, do not be deceived.
In those years before Jesus’
return, there will be a period when life as we know it will change in an
instant. Many people will be undoubtedly frightened because Jesus pointed out
that “there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and
upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves
roaring; 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” (Luke
21:25–26).
Jesus, our Lord, Savior and
King also says: “And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the
father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and
cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s
sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved” (Matthew 10:21-22).
“And ye shall be betrayed
both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you
shall they cause to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my
name’s sake. But there shall not a hair of your head perish. In your patience
possess ye your souls” (Luke 21:16–19).
Jesus leaves no doubt when he
says: “For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose
his life for my sake shall find it” (Matthew 16:25).
“He that loveth his life
shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto
life eternal” (John 12:25).
“Nevertheless when the Son
of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?” (Luke 18:8).
“Our
soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield” (Psalm 33:20).
