The Last Days: Internally or Externally?

The very descriptive verses in Mathew 24 are pretty terrifying.

"And ye shall hear wars, and rumors of wars."

"Nation shall rise against nation."

"The love of many shall wax cold."

and then we hear this verse, that in comparison,

sticks out like a sore thumb.

"But he that shall endure unto the end,

the same shall be saved."

Wait,

How are we going to be saved from nations rising against nations?

Are we going to have insta-shields

and invisibility cloaks to protect us?


I'm banking on not having those things.

However there's a difference between how the world is going to look,

and how the faithful will feel.

It wont be a frolicking through the daisy fields,

that's for sure.

But we will know that this isn't it.

That knowledge is what will keep the last days happening outside of us,

and not inside.
