Throughout time, God has warned people about coming events, whether judgment or the news of His redemptive plan. He told Adam and Eve what would happen if they ate from the wrong tree. He warned Noah of the future flood, He gave Moses information about the plagues, and He warned Israel what would happen if they abandoned Him. The Lord gave prophets the wonderful news about the future birth of the Savior, and John the Baptist proclaimed the need for repentance to prepare hearts to accept the Son of God.And Jesus gave His disciples information regarding the last days of the earth. In Matthew 24, the Lord related several signs, such as wars, famines, and earthquakes, that would precede His final appearance to all creation. More tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanoes have plagued the planet in the last few years than in previous decades.According to the NOAA’s National Center for Environmental Information, the years 2010-2019 were historic in the damage from natural disasters. In 2019 alone, the United States experienced 14 weather-related disasters, racking up claims of over a billion dollars each. These tragedies are often attributed to climate change, but we can see in Scripture that the planet was cursed after the fall of man (Genesis 3:17-19). All these calamities are another sign that the end times are upon us. The terrible anomalies that will transpire before Jesus comes back will be worse than anything we have ever experienced (Matthew 24:21). We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. (Romans 8:22)Besides weather signs to indicate the last days, spiritual deception will wreak havoc on the population. How can we guard ourselves against falling for the lies the devil uses? Here are seven ways to stay faithful to the Lord during turbulent times.Photo Credit: ©GettyImages/KAZITAFAHNIZEER
