Bible Prophecy

WARS

and

RUMORS OF WAR

"Jesus answered and said to them . . .
'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."
(Matthew 24:6-7)

Jesus Christ gives signs to watch for as we approach the coming Apocalypse

"Now as He (Jesus)
sat on the Mount of Olives (in Israel),
the disciples came to Him privately, saying,
‘Tell us, when will these things be?’
And ‘What will be the sign of Your coming,
and of the end of the Age?’"
(Matthew 24:3)

Nation vs. Nation ... and "Ethnic" vs. "Ethnic"

"Jesus answered and said to them . . .
'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.
(Still before the Rapture and the Apocalypse)
For nation (“ethnos”) will rise against nation (“ethnos”),
and kingdom (nation) against kingdom (nation) . . .
All these are the beginning of sorrows (‘birth pangs’)
(Matthew 24:6-7)

The original Greek word translated "nation" was "ethnos," from which we get our word "ethnic."

Jesus is warning we will see ethnic groups rise against ethnic groups as well as nations against nations.

The Bible also tells us believing Christians are "all ONE in Christ Jesus"

and there are NO ethnic, gender, race, or economic divisions

in the "body of Christ" (Messiah)

"There is neither Jew nor Greek (Gentile - any non-Jew),
(This covers ALL races on Earth)
there is neither slave nor free, (no economic divisions)
there is neither male nor female; (no gender divisions)
for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
(Galatians 3:28)

The Bible warns Mankind will never stop war

No world leader, no anti-war group, and no religious group (or coalition of religions) will ever bring Global Peace. God warns there will be NO peace in Israel or in the world until Messiah, (Jesus Christ) returns ...

Beware of any Peace Plans for Israel!!

"Because, even because
they have seduced My people (Israel),
saying, "Peace",
and there was no peace..."
(Ezekiel 13:10)

"For they have healed the hurt
of the daughter of My people (Israel) slightly,
saying, 'Peace, Peace;
when there is no peace!"
(Jeremiah 8:11)

"For you yourselves know perfectly
that the Day of the Lord
(the coming 'Apocalypse' and Armageddon)
so comes as a thief in the night.
For when they say, 'Peace and safety!'
then sudden destruction comes upon them,
as labor pains upon a pregnant woman.
And they shall not escape."
(1 Thessalonians 5:2-3)

The Great Tribulation

So, although the world has always had wars, ethnic violence and strife, Jesus Christ warns that as a sign we are entering into the last days we will see these increase in frequency and size. Described as "birth pangs," these "pains" will continue to grow worse and worse, coming closer and closer together, as signs we are preparing to enter the Apocalypse.

Jesus Christ warns . . .

"For then there will be Great Tribulation,
such as has not been
since the beginning of the world until this time,
no, nor ever shall be (the coming "Apocalypse").
And unless those days were shortened,
no flesh (human being) would be saved"
(Matthew 24:21-22)

Jesus warns that never in the history of Mankind has there ever been anything as terrible on Earth as the coming "Apocalypse", the "Great Tribulation", "The Day of (God's) Wrath" - the Earth will be utterly destroyed and only a small remnant of the world's population will survive.

Please remember . . .

The Kingdom of Heaven is available to every man, woman, boy, and girl in this world, no matter who they are, where they live, or what they have done. It is freely offered to any and all who will receive it. Simply learn of Jesus (Yeshua), the promised Messiah, invite Him into your life as Lord, believe He died on the Cross for all of your sins and rose from the grave (proving there is a Kingdom of Heaven ... and a Hell). Learn of Him and believe in Him . . . for He was the only one who has ever loved you enough to substitute Himself for you on the Cross. He shed His blood, suffered, and died on the Cross to save you from your sins and from the utter darkness and torment of Hell, if you will accept it, believe it, and trust in it. That is why Jesus is called Savior. He now lovingly and graciously offers you life in Heaven (and we are warned it is a "take it or leave it" proposition.) We have to consciously receive it and accept it in faith. If you sincerely admit you have sinned (which means you will need a Savior to get into Heaven) and ask Jesus to come into your life and honestly try to stop doing (and saying) those things God says are wrong, you will go to Heaven ... and with open arms and tears of joy He will receive all who will come to Him in faith and in love ... It's God's Promise!!!

The only unpardonable sin is to reject God's love and His free offer of life in the Kingdom of Heaven by rejecting Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) who stepped forth from Eternity ("from of old, from everlasting"... see Micah 5:2) ... not to condemn the sinner, but to save the sinner (from the torment of Hell) and who willingly and lovingly shed His blood on the Cross so we can be washed clean of all our sins. The Bible warns there will be no peace in our lives until we make peace with God through His Son, Jesus (Yeshua), the promised Messiah. The Bible also says there will be no peace in Israel or on Earth until Jesus (Yeshua), the Messiah returns . . .
