..and you shall hear of wars, rumors of war: see to it that you are not troubled for all these things must come to pass but its not yet the end. For nation will rise against nation, and there shall be famine and pestilences and earthquakes in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. ( Matthew 24: 6-7)
After tensions of war happend in the Middle East, A tragic earthquake strucked Japan with a magnitude of 8.9 shocked the whole world when it caused tsunami, a great waves that wiped away their houses, cars, bridges, and anything that comes its way. Its like watching a tragic movie. But its real.. real people, real lives put into danger live in the television.
Why all this things happened?
This things must happened to fulfill the prophesy in the bible. Matthew 24 records Jesus longest statement about the future. Jesus gives direct clues to events that will precede His second coming. This really proves that we are already in the last days. Almost half of the chapter consist of warnings that no one can predict the precise time of his coming. When Jesus comes, its like the time of Noah, in the days before the flood,people were drinking, eating and marrying and giving in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark and they knew nothing what would happend until the flood came and took them away.
Jesus is so near. So we must put priority with our spirituality other than material posessions. Even how busy we are, we need to pause for a while and seek the Lord's presence. We need to strenghthen our relationship with Him. Give time to read the word, meditate and pray. Dont allow distant relationship with God. Come closer because He is near.
