Friday's article, "All Shook Up, Or Whole Lotta Shaking Going On!", by Terry James, will also be linked to the Daily Update page.

EXCERPT:

Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis have nothing to do with it, but their song titles are certainly appropriate to the times. Jesus put it this way: "For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows” (Mark 13:8).

The term “sorrows” implies birth contractions, as when a mother-to-be approaches the time of giving birth. Jesus was foretelling such a time in answer to His disciples' questions about when the end of the world would come. The disciples didn’t understand all about the dispensations of time throughout human history. Jesus did understand, however, and He answered their question by giving those who will be alive at the time the birth pangs occur a prophetic heads-up about what to look for when that time approaches.

The signals Jesus outlined were given for the Tribulation era itself, the last seven years of human history before He catastrophically intervenes into the affairs of mankind by coming back to Planet Earth. He will then put an end to the war called Armageddon, and will set up His 1000-year reign from the city of Jerusalem.

The “time of sorrows,” according to the Lord’s own words, will be a period of contractions, a convulsion-plagued time during which the entire planet is alive with shaking. Interestingly, the prophet Zechariah had prophesied centuries earlier that the nation Israel will be at the epicenter of the shaking that will affect all nations of the world. He said Israel would be “a cup of trembling” to the nations that gather against it (Zech.12:1-3).

I pray you are blessed by all, and that you have a blessed day in the Lord!

YSIC!
