Matthew 24:1 “And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 4 ¶ And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.”

What do you see? What is the future of our world? What have we come through to get to this place? Why was it so hard to get here? Why did we have to go through so many trials? we live in a free country that allows us to do what we can dream about. Then why is the world suffering so much? Looking around and seeing the truth makes me angry. Those that have are required to give to those that don’t. Jesus brought the disciples to the garden of Gethsemane. he showed them the temple and all the grounds. They ask about when to end of the world was. He told when the end would start. Jesus went there to pray that He wouldn’t have to suffer the cross. But He understood that this was God’s plan for Him. Finally, He accepted the cross with joy. He knew that it would restore the kingdom of God. Look around and see the world and what it has become. It is the beginning of sorrows.
