"And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows." Matthew 24: 6-8
For the war mongers among us it seems that if someone in the middle east stubs their toe, it is the end of the world. Let someone launch a rocket or drop bombs and surely the Rapture cannot be far behind.
Let's look at what the Bible says. First, it assures us that we have no reason to be upset or troubled by these events. When the events in Bible prophecy really happen you will know, or you will not be here to experience it at all. Second, all of the things that Jesus told us about are only the beginning, not the end. Jesus said that we need to understand that the end is not when you see these things happening. The end is not yet.
No man knows the hour or the day. All we are responsible for is doing what we are called by God to do.
Let not your hearts be troubled.
