Matthew Twenty Four Ten

"And then many will be offended,"
meaning many will be easily hurt;
if the evil can, they will have you remanded
so we have to be strong in all of God's Words.

Count yourself lucky to not be offended
though most will suffer, as He hath saith;
but have pity on those who are troubled
increase your watch, beef up in faith.

"...will betray one another,"
as brother causes strife to his blood;
you won't understand this betrayal
just stay afloat in this flood.

"...and will hate one another,"
the amount of evil that thus dispenses;
will catch you off-guard, such is trouble
try not to hate, hide in Love's romances.

Thus this, is God's prediction
His Words ring true, be prepared;
keep to heart each holy direction
do not be caught naked, or be ensnared.

Once this tribulation has seen its time
look to the Heavens for spiritual freedom;
our Lord loves us too much, thus we pine
let loose our chains that ties, man's kingdom.

His coming from the sky, do not dismiss
gather His own, from four corners thus;
to cry no more, we are all His
the evil undone, the bubble burst!

Amen!

Matthew 24:10 states:
"And then many will be offended,
will betray one another, and
will hate one another."

Amen!

take courage! the Lord sees all, knows all and He searches our hearts. such troubles are like the pain in childbirth; but once the child is delivered, the pain is forgotten; only thanksgiving and love shall remain. yes! that's also from the Bible! be strong and encourage each other. till then, God bless!
