Description: Jesus forewarned that the onslaught of multiple pestilences would be a sign to his followers of his impending return. The COVID-19 pandemic, locust swarms now threatening widespread famine across Africa, earthquakes at multiple locations and volcanic eruptions, are signs of the times that we ignore at our peril. The world is in turmoil and clearly more is to come. GOD is sending a warning that people have turned their backs on him and soon the full extent of his power will become known to all. However, his servants need not be fearful as our long-anticipated hope of an everlasting Kingdom, centred in Israel, draws near.
