The beginning of sorrows before The Great Tribulation:
Matthew 24 Jesus says:
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

💥 Wars: I believe Adolph Hitler and WWII were part of the beginning of sorrows. Hitler came speaking "peace" while he was planning for his wars.
King of the end time:
Daniel 11:21-24
22 And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.
23 And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall strong with a small people.
24 He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.
Hitler took over nations by marching an army in and saying he was there to "protect" them from other nations. He took one nation after another this way, until Poland, which he bombed starting WWII.
He did horrors to the Jews which have never been seen before or since, torturing and killing 6-million of the Jewish nation.

💥 Pestilences: Many diseases have occurred for centuries, but rarely is there a plague like we saw in 2020 which covered the entire earth, closing down almost everything. Coronavirus
This really caused my focus to be drawn to end time plagues. I felt it was like a trumpet saying the coming of Jesus is soon and the wrath of God is coming on this world and the end of time when God destroys this world at the end.
I saw how fast destruction can come.
It reminded me of Babylon in Revelation 18. I think this is a symbolic "Babylon" and pertains to the planned destruction of great cities of today's time.
Revelation 18
2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, MY people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

With Coronavirus: Businesses closed. Streets, such as Times Square in NYC, emptied. Normal life such as sporting events ceased. And it happened in one day in USA, March 11, 2020.
This was like a prelude which got our attention, like a trumpet warning us.
Now in 2023, things seem back to normal. When the end comes, they will not come back to normal.
But this plague of Coronavirus caused me to re-read this scripture:
Revelation 18
7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
💥💥💥
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
When the end comes, "Thou shalt find them no more at all."
What we saw with Coronavirus was not the end but was very likely a part of "the beginning of sorrows" spoken by Jesus in Mt. 24.
💥 Earthquakes
We just saw a great earthquake in Turkey & Syria which killed approximately 50,000 people. God brings earthquakes to awaken the people who live through the Earthquake so they can examine their lives and turn to God and be ready for the future judgment of God which comes upon this earth through the 14 plagues at the end of this world. Revelation 8, 9, 16

Luke 21 Jesus says:
(Have you noticed the strange weather patterns where tornados are happening out of season in months where we don't usually see such? And the strange water events that have come wave upon wave upon California in 2023? This causes me to believe God is sounding a trumpet to get our attention.)
26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

How about the great violence of men that we are witnessing now?
2 Timothy 3
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection (increase in homosexuals & lesbians ... and abortion, the unnatural act of mothers killing their unborn children),
trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
(fierce v. 3)

How about the display of lack of integrity among USA law keepers with police killing people they arrest even before getting them to police stations, and judges unable to deal with the president who incited a riot against democracy which we witnessed on January 6 where they tried to overthrow USA law and we see lawmakers lack the integrity to deal with the essence of the matter.
(Lawlessness of end times will be rampant for antichrist is the man of lawlessness.)

And sin is flaunted before the face of all today.
Isaiah 3:9 The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.
Rest in God's peace for God will judge when Jesus comes.
What we should be seeing is judgment is coming from God. Get ready. Check yourself. Prepare by turning from sins.

LIVE IN PEACE, BUT BE ALERT TO THE EVIL THAT IS MULTIPLYING ON THIS EARTH FOR THE INCREASE OF EVIL IS LIKE THE LEAVES THAT SHOW US THE SEASON! GOD'S JUDGMENT IS COMING. GOD WILL JUDGE CORRECTLY AND RENDER TO EACH PERSON ACCORDING TO THAT WHICH HE HAS DONE, WHETHER GOOD OR BAD.
💥💥💥
We recognize but we do not protest. For we do not allow ourselves to become the evil by protesting. We simply wait for God to judge. But we know we approach that judgment that God will bring, for the signs are all around us for us to see, as we see the climate changes and know the hardships are sent by God to awaken the sinners.
Live in peace ... without spot ... and blameless. (2 Peter 3:14)
God is going to deal with that which we see today!
