The End Is Not Yet

And Jesus, answering them, began to say: “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and will deceive many. But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled; for such things must happen, but the end is not yet. Mark 13:5-7

There are those times in reading the news from around the world that it may seem as though the judgment of Revelation, in one instance or another has already come to pass. Jesus had an answer for that, the end is not yet. This may seem at odds with some when every natural disaster brings out the 'end is near' preachers. Well, yes, they are correct too. The end is near, just not yet. 

It may seem that I am playing with words, and while I do enjoy that activity, we also live in interesting times in that signs abound of the impending Tribulation, and yet it is not yet. We can take comfort in scriptural study by seeing that certain events must happen first, and we see in that our Lord God's careful management of all that leads up to the end He has revealed to His prophets. 

Please do not weary of faithful watching for the Lord. He is coming soon!
