One of the first things to note
is that in Matthew 23-24, Luke 11:46-52 and other places Jesus tells us that
all the tribulation and end of the world will take place IN THAT
GENERATION. Not us or a future generation, but THAT Generation. It
happened as the prophets of God had prophesied.
Luke 11:49-51 (Jesus spoke
this) There fore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and
apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute: That the
blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may
be required of this generation; From the blood of
Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the
temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.
Matthew 23:33-36 (all through
these two chapters are "awakening moments") (Jesus speaking
here) Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the
damnation of hell? Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men,
and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall
ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: That
upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood
of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew
between the temple and the altar. Verily
I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
So Jesus says this many times,
and if you can accept His word you will understand that Jesus was telling them
back in the New Testament days that all this tribulation was going to come on their
generation.
Now, hang on to Christ Jesus your
foundation and surety, and read more as you are able to digest and be free from
lies of the traditions and doctrines of man.
Amen.
