Distress of Nations

Notice what Jesus said in Luke 17:28-30: Before Jesus comes it will be as it was in the days of Lot. What happened then? They did eat, they drank, You've never seen so many eating places in your life as there are today, and they're building more. They did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded. That sounds like today, doesn't it? That's another sign of the times and the day in which we live.

Now let's look again at Luke 21:25: You do not understand that kind of language unless you understand the Bible. The sea and the waves represent people. Water also is a type of the Holy Spirit. What causes this distress of nations with perplexity? The sea and the waves roaring means people of the earth are in upheaval. And were there. Heads of nations don't know what to do. They can't find the answers.Luke goes on in verses 26, 27, Distress of nations, a sign of the last days.

Now read Matt. 24:6: Ever since World War 2, we've heard of wars and rumors of wars; there has been constant fighting. The verse continues, For all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. What things must come to pass? Wars and rumors must come to pass, but the end is not yet. Have you heard of any rumors today about the war with Iran?

Verse seven says, For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines( have you heard anything about famines anywhere?), and pestilences, and earthquakes (have you heard anything about earthquakes?, in divers places (that means different places).

Now listen to the eighth verse: All these things are the beginning of sorrows. My friends, this poassage is another foolproof sign of the time in which we live; it doesn't need any interptretation.

Now turn to Second Peter 3:3. What do they scoff at? We find the answer in verse 4, Where is the promise of His coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. In other words, Peter says there would be those who would mock and scoff at the visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ. We've got them on every hand. It's another sign of the times.
