Events Foretold for Our Day
THE Bible foretells that God’s Kingdom will bring permanent peace and happiness to the earth. (Daniel 2:44) In the Our Father, or the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus taught his disciples to pray: “Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth.” (Matthew 6:10) In his great prophecy given to his disciples on the Mount of Olives, Jesus foretold specific events and conditions that would immediately precede the coming of that Kingdom. Together, these features constitute a sign that would be clearly evident to all honesthearted observers. How many of the following aspects of that sign are you personally aware of?
International Wars. Jesus foretold: “Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom.” (Matthew 24:7) Prior to the first world war in 1914, wars tended to be more localized. World War I not only engulfed large parts of the globe but also accelerated the development of weapons more terrible than any that mankind had ever known. For example, the newly invented airplane was used to drop bombs on civilians. Mass production of weapons increased the carnage to levels that were previously unimaginable, as about half of the 65 million soldiers that were mobilized either died or were wounded. Yet, as the 20th century progressed, the carnage expanded. In the words of one historian, the military and civilian dead of World War II “would be forever uncountable.” And the wars continue even now.
Widespread Hunger. “There will be food shortages,” Jesus foretold. (Matthew 24:7) In 2005, Science magazine stated: “There are 854 million people in the world (about 14% of our population) who are chronically or acutely malnourished.” In 2007, a United Nations source reported that 33 countries lack sufficient food to feed their people. When world grain production is on the rise, how can this be? For one thing, land and grain that could be used to feed people are used to produce ethanol instead. “The amount of ethanol needed to fill a big four-wheel-drive SUV just once uses enough grain to feed one person for an entire year,” reports the South African newspaper The Witness. In developed countries too, increasing food prices force many to choose between having food for dinner or paying for other necessities, such as medicine or heating.
Massive Earthquakes. Jesus said: “There will be great earthquakes.” (Luke 21:11) If it seems to you that now more people than ever before are affected by earthquakes, you are correct. “Suddenly we are seeing a spurt in seismic activity globally,” observed Indian seismologist R. K. Chadha in 2007. “Nobody knows why.” Moreover, rapid population growth in areas prone to earthquakes has increased the toll of these disasters. The earthquake that struck the Indian Ocean in 2004 and the tsunami that followed made that year the “deadliest in nearly 500 years for earthquakes” and “the second most fatal in recorded history,” according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
Intractable Disease. “There will be . . . pestilences,” Jesus foretold. (Luke 21:11) Around the globe, illnesses old and new sicken ever greater numbers, and hoped-for remedies are proving elusive. For instance, international goals to eradicate malaria have had to be scaled back repeatedly as the disease continues to defy human control. In addition, millions are killed by old diseases, including tuberculosis (TB), now operating in tandem with AIDS and other new diseases. “One-third of the world’s population is currently infected with the TB bacillus,” reports the World Health Organization. The organization also notes that HIV is contributing to the TB epidemics in many countries. Every second, another person is infected with TB, and TB is developing greater resistance to drug treatment. In 2007 a patient in Europe was diagnosed with TB that was “invulnerable to every single drug we have,” reported New Scientist magazine.
Moral and Social Breakdown. “Because of the increasing of lawlessness the love of the greater number will cool off,” Jesus said. (Matthew 24:12) Besides what Jesus foretold, the apostle Paul pointed forward to a collapse of social and moral values. He described the difficult “last days” that would come just before God’s Kingdom would end this world system. “Men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, betrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power.” (2 Timothy 3:1-5) Have you not seen that people display such bad traits more than they used to?
Jesus and Paul did not list all the historical, social, and political factors that are to blame for these world conditions. Nevertheless, their prophecies accurately foretold the events and attitudes that we are seeing today. What about the future? The prophecy of Isaiah that reliably foretold the coming of the Messiah also describes the beneficial changes God’s Kingdom will bring to the earth.

"Normally these people would be lined up at the buffet line…" oh what awful newscasting. Silly, pithy remark about a serious matter. She's awful.
Ask senator Kelly Laughter is she can spare a dime. She lives in a $10 million dollar mansion- most expensive house in Atlanta.
Trumps America
Trillions in handouts to billionaires and corporations, crumbs for the poor and working class.
That's what happens when people party like it's 1999..no one is talking about how much american get themselves in debt lol look at all those cars I'm just say
YIKES
I'm being serious…why do people have children if they can't afford them? I make a decent living but cannot imagine trying to support one child let alone multiple. Yes, children are the future, but not if they go hungry!
71.6 of all Americans over the age of 20 are overweight. Maybe we should all cut back? Did you notice how many overweight people and nice cars there are. Liberal left, trying to give away more free stuff.
They were showing people who couldn’t afford food in my area and they were all fat.
This makes me glad that I live in Nebraska where we never shut down and we never had stay-at-home orders. Schools are going as usual. We also happen to have the lowest unemployment in the country. Places like NYC have 24,000 people per square mile, where we only have 23 people per square mile.
If they aren't getting food stamps they're not poor.
Nice and Happy Thanksgiving
The table was seven gigantic whales and seven large loaves, not a turkey
The very important thing is the dialogue that will take place between Jesus, peace be upon him, and between God Almighty and Majestic on the Day of Resurrection, and which will be about people worshiping Jesus and his mother and making them gods, and the dangerous thing here in this dialogue is that Jesus did not ask God for forgiveness and mercy for his people But he attributed the matter to the glory and wisdom of God, for fear that God will punish him. Table Spread
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[5:110]
When Allah saith: O Jesus, son of Mary! Remember My favour unto thee and unto thy mother; how I strengthened thee with the holy Spirit, so that thou spakest unto mankind in the cradle as in maturity; and how I taught thee the Scripture and Wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel; and how thou didst shape of clay as it were the likeness of a bird by My permission, and didst blow upon it and it was a bird by My permission, and thou didst heal him who was born blind and the leper by My permission; and how thou didst raise the dead by My permission; and how I restrained the Children of Israel from (harming) thee when thou camest unto them with clear proofs, and those of them who disbelieved exclaimed: This is naught else than mere magic;
5:111]
And when I inspired the disciples, (saying): Believe in Me and in My messenger, they said: We believe. Bear witness that we have surrendered (unto Thee) "we are muslims".
[5:112]
When the disciples said: O Jesus, son of Mary! Is thy Lord able to send down for us a table spread with food from heaven ? He said: Observe your duty to Allah, if ye are true believers.
5:113]
(They said:) We wish to eat thereof, that we may satisfy our hearts and know that thou hast spoken truth to us, and that thereof we may be witnesses.
5:114]
Jesus, son of Mary, said: O Allah, Lord of us! Send down for us a table spread with food from heaven, that it may be a feast for us, for the first of us and for the last of us, and a sign from Thee. Give us sustenance, for Thou art the Best of Sustainers.
[5:115]
Allah said: Lo! I send it down for you. And whoso disbelieveth of you afterward, him surely will I punish with a punishment wherewith I have not punished any of (My) creatures.
[5:116]
And when Allah saith: O Jesus, son of Mary! Didst thou say unto mankind: Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah ? he saith: Be glorified! It was not mine to utter that to which I had no right. If I used to say it, then Thou knewest it. Thou knowest what is in my mind, and I know not what is in Thy Mind. Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Knower of Things Hidden ?
[5:117]
I spake unto them only that which Thou commandedst me, (saying): Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. I was a witness of them while I dwelt among them, and when Thou tookest me Thou wast the Watcher over them. Thou art Witness over all things.
[5:118]
If Thou punish them, lo! they are Thy slaves, and if Thou forgive them (lo! they are Thy slaves). Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Mighty, the Wise.
[5:119]
Allah saith: This is a day in which their truthfulness profiteth the truthful, for theirs are Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they are secure for ever, Allah taking pleasure in them and they in Him. That is the great triumph.
[5:120]
Unto Allah belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and whatsoever is therein, and He is Able to do all things.
Ya Allah ampunilah dosa kami semua yang setuju like.
Can't believe seeing such pictures in a rich county like America.
I've been seeing posts and testimonies about BLANK ATM CARD but I never believed it, not until I tried it myself.It was on the 6th day of June. I was reading a post about places to visit in Slovakia when I saw this captivating post about how a a Woman described as Mrs.Helen that changed his life with the help of a Blank Atm Card. I didn't believe it at first until I decided to reach her through the mail address attached to the post. To my greatest imagination, it was real. Right now am living up to a standard I never used to live before. Today might be your lucky day! Reach Mrs Helen on her email: [ helenatmcards@gmail.com ] WhatsApp number; [ +447723708525 ] website; [ helenhackers.wordpress.com ]….
Good for Americans!
All due to the LIEs by the (FAKE-NEWS-MSM) You should try some REAL BREAKING NEWS > International Lawyers Suing over the FAKE Covid-19 PCR Test Numbers and ScamDemic FRAUD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQYzb5_kax8&feature=youtu.be&t=29 > Over 20 cycles give false positives (the CDC says over 33 cycles are useless, and Dr. Fauci says over 34 is useless) > PCR Tests in the US are set "mostly at 40-45 cycles" – meaning (Most if not all Cases based on this test are meaningless and useless) 100% FRAUD ~Yet, Fauci has not said a word about the FAKE PCR Tests driving the Numbers. Proof Links available for anyone interested, including Video of Fauci saying over 34 are meaningless. BONUS – Video of Global Court Case by Lawyer Reiner Füllmich > over the FAKE PCR Test
Maaf ya allah hamba liat ini.
They'll be killing each other for that food soon.
Jeff Bezos could step up to the plate and end it tomorrow. He made the most money off of this pandemic, he should assist. Instead he got an income tax rebate to the tune of $Millions.
If you're going to donate to the food bank don't donate junk food cookies donuts all that which is full of chemicals garbage food. Donate flour and baking goods.
Donate dried beans. Dried peas so that a person can make split pea soup for bean soup or whatever that way the food will stretch a long ways. Don't donate junk food like potato chips the kids nowadays don't need that.
It's sad that people live in the big city and they don't have the access to Hunting Fishing and gardening. In our family years ago nobody starved nobody went hungry if we did there was something wrong. Grow your own vegetables if you can even if you grow them off your porch off your balcony and get a deep freeze and freeze your vegetables like for instance you can just throw apples into the freezer you don't have to even core them you don't have to do anything with them and you can make a full sauce. You can take whole tomatoes and just throw them into the deep freeze and you can make tomato sauce out of frozen tomatoes which you strain after you cook there's so much you can do. But there's one thing I would say don't buy margarine if you can buy butter and be sparing it. Bake your chicken wings in the oven don't buy cooked chicken from the store it's so expensive. Make chicken broth and add your vegetables and then you can freeze that in containers in the freezer. go read about it.
This is the time for people to stay away from fast foods and to learn how to make homemade bread. can food. etc.
In the 60s when I was 15 years old I would make in one week, 6 loaves of bread two apple pies for the family cream puffs home cook all the time by the time I was 15 I knew how to make Irish stew I knew how to put wood in a wood stove and watch the oven and know when to put the bread in know when to bake things probably how to cook things on top of the wood stove.
We went into the city to buy extra food once a month. I lived off the land I remember my dad saying to me go out to the garden and get our lunch then when supper came along he'd say to me go out in the garden and get our supper. So there we had carrots potatoes onions green beans celery lettuce You Name It We had it. And that's how I saved a lot of money over the years. When you start buying from fast foods you become broke really fast in your always hungry but if you make yourself a home meal such as homemade soup homemade bread buns cakes cookies which is a luxury you'll save hundreds of dollars if not thousands every year. So learn how to cook at home learn how to bake at home. I even to this day make my yogurt in the oven I do my canning of peaches and tomatoes in the oven.
In America, NOBODY should go hungry. Totally inexcusable. And ANY politician who is responsible for their constituents welfare, must either SERVE the people's needs in earnest, or be CAST OUT of power at the earliest.
You are pig head,on the other hand,
samurai spirit follows that if samurai doesn’t intake any food , he is satisfied with it and calm down.
You love complaing, don’t you.
English saying, Don’t get carried away, Americans.
You haven’t seen anything yet! Give them dried beans, potatoes, oats, Bread, fruit, veggies, canned items, pasta. They will be healthier. To say that people don’t have anything to eat is sometimes hard to believe.
I know old folk that worked their entire lives to buy their dream home and are now homeless in debt.
What are we supposed to eat cake? This is not looking good for corrupt politicians.
Economy has never been better ! Tremendous, Powerful Job Donnie ! 126000 deaths Only ! Sorry gotta go to concentrate on my handicap !
The cost of say 50 less misses a year and 6 less fighter jets could solve this problem. But no.
Now do a story on the US GDP contracting 9% in Q2 and 3% in Q3, historic unemployment, historic deficit, historic debt, historic income disparity, historic bankruptcies, inflated property values and high cost of living. It made America great again.
Sadness in America…😓

I hope Mitch McConnell did not choke on his thanksgiving food when millions go hungry
Take down the CCP. https://youtu.be/9-mzgypCnT4
The reliance on manufactured foods causes food insecurity. Most people never bother to save food for a rainy day like they should be doing instead of servicing unnecessary debt and purchasing junk food and convenience foods. I volunteer at a food commodities giveaway program because I do want people to have enough to eat. But I also see a lot of people refusing food that can be used to make healthy nutritious meals because they don't know how or won't bother to figure it out. I don't particularly like beets but I take any that are offered to me and make beet-barley burgers.
Meanwhile, big corporate billionaires be like: "Meh, let 'em eat soylent green!"
These are the early signs dont ignore them…
