It is JESUS who is in control of history, nothing random happens.
Matthew 24:1-2
Jesus went out, and departed from the Temple: and His disciples came to Him for to show Him the buildings of the Temple. (Oh how great, how admirable, were the stones of the Temple of Jerusalem!!!) 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.
Jesus left His disciples disappointed with his answer, evidently.
What JESUS prophesied about the Temple it fulfilled LITERALLY in the year 70AD, the testimony of JESUS is the Spirit of prophecy. So, in LITERAL fulfilment of the words of JESUS, the Temple was destroyed in 70AD, and the people of Israel was banned from their land and scattered around the world for 1.878 years, from year 70AD to 1948AD, more than 100K died under the army of Romans's attack.
Israel was punished severely from year 70 until 1,948AD, they suffered severe and great punishments in LITERAL fulfillment of Deuteronomy 28:15 to 68, so 53 verses of severe punishments and curses, and sufferings. Take a look. By the way, the WORD IS GOD and is self executing, understand?
Then JESUS went to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples still perplex with the destination of the Temple of Jerusalem according JESUS had spoken prophetically, then they made more two important questions to the Lord JESUS, saying privately: Matthew 24:v.3 :
(1st question) What shall be the sign of thy coming?;
(2nd question) and of the END of the WORLD? (the current Devil's world-Revelation 11:15-18)
Well, the testimomy of JESUS is the Spirit of prophecy. So He LISTED several events linked (1st) to His coming, and (2nd) to the END of this current Devil's world.
So JESUS SAID TO THE DISCIPLES, AND FOR US TOO, HOW WOULD BE THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF TIME; HE LISTED SEVERAL EVENTS, THE BEGINNING OF THE SORROWS -
Matthew 24:4-8 - And Jesus answered and said unto His disciples:
v.4 - Take heed that no man deceive you; (this was the first concerns of JESUS). It seems that many have not kept the warning of JESUS and are being deceived by false and devilish theories spread in the world mainly through internet.
v.5 - For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many;
(Soon will manifest the Beast of the earth who has two horns like a lamb, actually a false lamb, a false messiah, AN IMPOSTOR, as said JESUS -John 5:v.43 combined with Revelation 13:v.11-18. Check it out).
v.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.
v.7 - For NATION shall rise against NATION, and kingdom against kingdom, ...:
(Will be G7, and G20, and EU, and UNO, among others Entities, DISSOLVED from now on? Day after day, the happenings of the current satanic World will run in this way /according 2 Peter 3:v.7 and Revelation 11:v.18 and Micah 4:v.3).
... and there shall be famines;
(the prophecies are already fulfilling literally, this is literally being fulfilled in this current time;
- and pestilences ;
(this is literally being fulfilled in this current time);
- and earthquakes, in divers places. -
several of them ;
But,
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Get ready
In sequence and continuation of the list above, and prophesied by my Lord JESUS, then it will LITERALLY be fulfilled Mattew 24:9 to 27, (and it without any gap or break. Take a look. The eternal perdition begins in continuation of the short period of sorows, as was/is listed by our Lord JESUS in Mat.24:3-8).
Be careful and get ready
