Caution: Trouble Ahead

Alas! For that day is great, so that none is like it; and it is the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.

Jeremiah 30:7

Recommended Reading

Matthew 24:21-25

In hindsight, we can usually look back after a world-changing event and see signs that indicated trouble was coming. Biblical prophecy gives us the ability to look forward and see both the signs and the events.

That is true of the coming Great Tribulation -- the seven-year period of "trouble" that will come upon the earth. The Bible tells us clearly that this period of time is coming, but it doesn't tell us when. But like all world-level events, there will be signs that tell us the Tribulation is getting closer. What kind of signs? If the Tribulation is going to be a time of trouble like the world has never seen, then we should look for "troubling" signs in the world. And there are more of those in our day than ever before. Wars, diseases, natural disasters, geopolitical turmoil, economic instability -- these are troubles that will only be magnified in the coming Tribulation.

Just because the Church will not go through the Tribulation is no reason to take these signs lightly. We should be even more motivated to share the Gospel with those destined for that great time of trouble.

Grace is love that cares and stoops and rescues.

From This Point Forward

Here's a driving quiz to set the stage for this article: In which European country does one turn right in order to go left? And in which European country does one turn left to go right? (There are more countries where this driving paradox occurs, but I've chosen two European countries to make it easy.)
