Jesus spoke to His disciples about the end times, He said, “All these are the beginning of birth pains. “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time MANY WILL TURN AWAY FROM THE FAITH and will BETRAY and HATE each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of MOST WILL GROW COLD, but THE ONE WHO STANDS FIRM TO THE END WILL BE SAVED.” (Matt. 24:8-13)
“…you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when YOU DO NOT THINK HE WILL.” (Matt. 24:44)
Remember Jesus praying with His disciples, went to Gethsemane to pray and Judas came and betrayed Him, “…this has all taken place that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then ALL the disciples DESERTED HIM AND FLED.” (Matt. 26:56)
We must, “Put on ALL of God’s armor and STAND our ground, putting on the TRUTH and God’s righteousness, peace, hold up THE SHIELD OF FAITH, take the SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, WHICH IS THE WORD OF GOD.” (Eph. 6:11-17)
The Lord spoke to His people, “These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. REPEAT THEM AGAIN AND AGAIN TO YOUR CHILDREN. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up.” (Deut. 6:6-7)
THAT WAY WHEN IT’S TIME THEY AND YOU WILL KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!
