The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Matthew 24:3-14, “As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”

4 And Jesus answered and said to them, “See to it that no one misleads you.

5 “For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many.

6 “You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end.

7 “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes.

8 “But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.

9 “Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.

10 “At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another.

11 “Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many.

12 “Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold.

13 “But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.

14 “This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.”

Have you ever wondered if you would be alive on Earth when Jesus comes again? Without question, it will be an excitingly eventful time! The turmoil that rages throughout our world today will then be unleashed in full fury—nation against nation, fighting to the death amongst themselves – and for what? They will have missed the most ecstatic experience the world has ever known! For all truly born-again believers, resident throughout the world, will be uplifted into the glorious realm of Eternal Heaven to live forever with the LORD Jesus Christ and with the millions of believers who trusted Him to the end.

Today, turmoil is raging throughout the globe, while covens of believers are secretly huddled in worship of the LORD Jesus Christ. There are hundreds of true believers in Iran, worshipping beyond the eyes of a godless regime. They need and deserve our prayers for their safety. May their earnest trust in Christ Jesus be the incentive that draws others to faith in Him, too! Prayer is vital to the reaching of thousands of lost souls, who are the concern of multiple missionaries throughout the world. Both the lost and the saved need our prayers. “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few…” (Luke 10:2).

Heartily in Christ,
