Crisis upon Crisis

The word CRISIS means a time of intense difficulty or danger.

As we approach the closing drama of this world we can expect crisis upon a crisis. 

Matthew 24  says in verses 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

That word sorrow is ōdinōn ὠδίνων  translates in the hebrew text of birth pains.

We have had our fair share of earthquakes in recent times, here are a few listed but the list goes on and on sometimes repeating in the same country.

April 25, 2015: More than 8,000 dead in Nepal

 

China's many earthquakes

Indonesia

You will notice in Mathew 24 Verses 7 and 8 the list of the sorrows that is due to come upon the earth .
It reads  For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
We got the Earthquakes, we are now into pestilences at lease one of them .
The word pestilences means  : a fatal epidemic disease.  Maybe there are more deseases on the way,but what comes next reading the other way ? Famines!  
Famines are cause by food shortages. Are we to see food shortages soon coming? 
What can cause fod shortages? 
Transportation and shipping problems? deteriorating workforce, financial crisis just ato name a few. Are these evident in the news? Then next on the list reading inthe order of the last shall be first and the first last we have wars ,international conflists. All these tell us that the end is not far off... 
Its a good time to make our calling and election sure as all the crisis come upon the world.

Crisis forces men to make the wrong decisions 

You wil noticed in Geneses 47

13And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very sore, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.

14And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.

15And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth.

16And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail.

17And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year.

18When that year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and said unto him, We will not hide it from my lord, how that our money is spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle; there is not ought left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands:

19Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh: and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, that the land be not desolate.

20And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh's.

21And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof.

22Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion assigned them of Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them: wherefore they sold not their lands.

23Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land.

24And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give the fifth part unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones.

25And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.

26And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth part; except the land of the priests only, which became not Pharaoh's.

Wel there is a great decision to be made soon that will follow crisis after crisis, under the presure of saving lives men will make the wrong decisions and loos out on eternal life..  That crisis is the Mark of the Beast Crisis. Buying and selling will be a problem then would you surcomb to the the need to buy and sell, Will you crumble on the pressure of not being able to participate in the then global economy? 

Revelation 13 says And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Is the  current crises pressurig you to make a compromise? If  you compromise now ,you will compromise then.

Hold fast for your redemption draweth nigh.
