The Beginning of Sorrows

Matthew 24:6 NIV: You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.

Look around. The world seems to be coming apart at the seams. Wars and rumors of wars abound. Unprovoked violence against the innocent is rampant. The world and notional political scene is a breeding ground for corruption; a place void of integrity, where winning elections outweighs the will of the people; a place where parties thrive on doing nothing but discovering new ways to destroy the opposition—regardless of the cost to the nation. But "see to it that you are not alarmed," Jesus tells us, "such things must happen." This is only the beginning of sorrows. And even now we may be dazed by the events, and perplexed as to what is to be done. How do we fight against terrorists and power hungry dictators? How do we stop senseless abuse and killings of the innocent? How do we fight against self-promoting political powers, and seemingly untouchable and unsympathetic establishments? We pray. In prayer, we have a weapon more powerful than any forged on this earth. We need simply to deploy it, and trust the God who is over all.

We have alredy seen that judgment must come first in the house of God.

1 Peter 4:17
"For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God?"

Matthew 24:4
4 Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ, and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.

9 "Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

Matthew 17;15
"My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one."

Since I cannot change our Lord's prophecy, I pray the same prayer that He prayed for us, the we be kept from the evil one.
