NATIONS HAVE ALWAYS GONE AGAINST OTHER NATIONS
THERE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN EARTHQUAKES AND FAMINES
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1651008 Of course Jesus knew there have always been nations at wars - which is why when the disciples ask him when the end of the world would be - he gives us guidelines ALL can under stand:
He said When you
HEAR of rumours of war - the end is not yet.
In other words - as long as you hear of them - through radio, word of mouth or whatever - we are not in end times.
BUT when YOU SEE wars....Notice he doesn't say SEE rumours of war. You CAN'T SEE rumours. But we can SEE wars. (nation against nation, kingdom against kingdom)
Then that is the beginning of end times.
This is all in Mathew 24.
Luke 21 expands on SEEing ALL these things and says - When you
SEE and Know....
Clarifying - that it IS literally SEEing he is speaking of.
We have been SEEing wars for a while. So Jesus gives us more information to know when it is the very end. But won't go into it now....
