Many have been asking if the end is near. Jesus said in Mathew 24

“…you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Mathew 24:6-8

The days that we are living are the birth pains. The best way to prepare for what will come upon the earth is to prepare spiritually. Read your Bible daily.
