The Holy Scripture enlightens us in many places in the Old and the New Testament on the events in the end time. The current worldwide events clearly indicate that the promised Return of Christ must be close at hand. All eyes are presently especially focused on what is going on in the Middle East: on Israel, on Iran, on Syria. The ongoing news coverage and reports in the media shock us every day anew. The peace negotiations are becoming more and more necessary, in which also the Vatican intervenes as the only overall recognized world authority.

The moment when “… they shall say, Peace and safety …” is within reach. But it will be a hollow peace, because “… then sudden destruction cometh upon them …” (1. Ths 5:3).

“Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters! The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them …” (Isa 17:12-13) when they turn against Israel and Jerusalem: “And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” (Zec 12:2-3).

It is not necessary to write any more about the end-time events. In all areas, everything is taking its course, even with the natural disasters. Again and again, we can encourage one another: “… when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads, for your redemption draweth nigh.”

May what is then written in 1. Ths 5 apply to all of us: “But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.” (vv. 4-11). People of God, Bride of the Lamb: Behold, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Maranatha!

“For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.” (Heb 10:37).
