Signs of the times

"He answered and said to them, 'When it is evening you say, it will be fair weather, for the sky is red; and in the morning, 'It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times." Matthew 16.2-3

People can tell whether or not the weather will be good from the appearance of the sky, but they are not able to discern the signs of the coming of the Lord Jesus by the social situation in the world. Famine, war, terrorism, violence, drugs, destruction of homes, lack of love, children who kill their parents because of drugs, parents who rape children, prostitution, social injustice, political corruption, moral corruption, spiritual corruption, pests that spread, satanic religions, unprecedented immorality... Only someone who does not reason cannot see the whirlwind of events that point to the end of times.

FEAR, FEAR AND FEAR...

“The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to turn one away from the snares of death."  Proverbs 14:27

When people no longer fear God, they’re driven towards violence, corruption and death. But, the sense of well-being and success blinds the wicked from understanding this.

However, the faithful, those who turn away from evil and have practiced the Word of God have life, peace and above all, the guarantee of eternal life.

Discernment

"But You have seen, for You observe trouble and grief, to repay it by Your hand. The helpless commits himself to You; You are the helper of the fatherless." Psalms 10:14

We can clearly see in these last days, the election of the children of the Light, with their discernment as to what is best for the cause of our Lord, while those who are corrupted spread lies and deceits.
