Warnings have come from the Lord to people and nations which have chosen to forget God. And nations that worship God have also neglected to follow him with their whole heart. For those who yet seek the Lord and worship him in Sprit and Truth recognize the signs of the times. These recognize and know we are at the beginning of the birth pains and the devastations to come which are foretold to us in the word of God. These things must come because of great sinfulness and even some of the righteous will be taken during this time of retribution. Pray for those who are not prepared for death or destruction while making sure you remain in right standing and relationship with Christ.
