We must remember that Jesus, in Matthew 24:8, said that all these signs would be like "birth pains" ... increasing in number and intensity as we draw ever closer to Christ's triumphant return ... and that is exactly what is happening! .. But take heart, these conditions are but proof that His teachings are true and that when He does return, all this upheaval will be but a distant memory! ... So really, its not signs of the end, but proof of the beginning! ... Hallelujah!!!
