Not Yet

 "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." Mat.24:6

"All these are the beginning of sorrows." Mat.24:8

Every time someone in Jerusalem sneezes some pastor will be quick to declare that the end is near. Let there be shooting in Gaza and it's time for the Rapture now!

I do believe in the pre-tribulation rapture. That Jesus will come to take us out of a deteriorating situation. Noah and his family entered the ark with wet feet. We may see some trouble before we are taken away.

Note how the Lord says that the end is not yet. He further says that all of these things are the beginning of sorrows, not the end. It is not the end just because some folks in society have lost their minds.

I believe that everything that was said in Matthew 24 will happen just as it is said. The fulfillment will match the prophecy perfectly. The time to get ready is now.

So, whether the world is at war, or calling peace, Jesus will come when the Father sends Him. And not one moment sooner.
