One more sign of the time we are living in.
Matthew 24
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.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
What would possess you to think that passage had anything to do with 21st century America? You know what Jesus says after listing all of those things? He says this: “I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.” All those things did indeed happen in that generation, in the events in and surrounding the Roman siege and destruction of Jerusalem around 70AD and concurrent events throughout the Roman empire.
