What if this is the beginning of the end, and things may get worse from here on out? If this is indeed the beginning of the end, then we can be sure that it will get worse – far worse than it is now. 
Before the end of the world as we know it, the Book of Revelations speaks of much suffering. The earth will be scorched, the sea will die, and stars will fall. Something cataclysmic such as a nuclear holocaust or a natural disaster so large that it will devastate the earth. And the people will be divided into two – those who worship God and those who worship the beast. (Revelations 15-17) And there will be great suffering on both sides… 
Are you ready? I hope to be breeding an army and not run a daycare. When (not if) the great suffering and persecution come, I want you to be ready because you expected it from the word of God. 
Imagine we are living in wartime. And you are a soldier belonging to the army of the Lord. There are enemies everywhere. How must you live?
“… forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call in Christ Jesus.” Phil 3:13-14
Set some worthy goals as a solider in the army of the Lord!
