UNDERSTANDING ~ WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS

I am one of many who believe Jesus was instructing us to not allow wars or rumors of wars to alarm or concern us, because “the end is not yet.” Similarly, Jesus spoke of false Christs. See> (Matthew 25:6) 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet.

To understanding Jesus’ statement about “wars and rumors of wars," to mean that warfare is a sign of the end times would be saying the exact opposite of what He intended.

Let's say the war in Syria is part of the end times prophecy. It most likely will be part of the “birth pains” mentioned in the book of “Mark”- (Mark 13:7–8) 7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. 8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.

I believe Jesus was describing some extremely intense wars when He spoke of the end times. You see folk's, Jesus knew mankind would be going through many wars through time until He's able to establish peace in the Millennial Kingdom. Just because there are current wars and rumors more to come, does not mean mankind has reached the end of times, because we've always been at war with each other. Simply said folk's, throughout our history Christians and folks of many different faiths have been taking Jesus's statement as a prediction. Don't get me wrong, because Jesus was referring to mankind’s future and that is prophesying. But since man’s always been at war it doesn't necessarily mean Jesus was predicting the end. If that were to be true, then for over two thousand years mankind has been living in the end of time.

I look at it like this, just because there are a few wars and conflicts currently going on between many countries, this does not predict the end times are even close to becoming a reality. Personally, I do not allow these rumors to confuse or distract me from living and serving our Father God, for I made a promise to God that I will spend my life or up until the end of time, preaching God's word all around the world. And every day I continue with said commitment as I write inspirational stories and operate His God's News 4~2 Day's groups, channels, or pages on a few social networks.

Now let me tell you why I personally feel and believe we are living in the end of times as "Jesus prophesied." Man has come really close to accomplishing our ability to preach and proclaim the gospel throughout the whole world, and will up until the end of times. See> (Matthew 24:14) 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

My final thoughts
So why are so many Christians stressing over the current events, referring to them as signs of the end times? I mean, they know God needs them to honor His will and proclaim His Holy Gospel throughout the entire world. If for some strange reason a Christian does not know, then one of us need to inform them. Why? Because once this prophecy from Jesus has been fulfilled, that day the world will bear witness to a 'TRUE' sign of the end times.

Dear Lord. We ask for Your Holy Spirit to cause an out-pouring among your Christian servants, put a fire that will bring the end times prophecy to a reality. In your name Jesus Christ we all do pray, amen.
