Matthew 24:9-12

I think this offense might be twofold, and this is just my thoughts on the scriptures as I went through the study. As I said earlier, truth, and specifically God's truth, offends. I could have gone to several scriptures where Jesus shows that the truth in God's way of life is very offensive to this world and those that are sinning. So I think that Matthew 24 speaks to God's truth offending, but I do think there is a human element as well, where people will simply be offended and betray one another and will hate each other. So those offenses will come in various forms.

Matthew 24:9

The deception, war, starvation, diseases, and all these things are just the beginning of bad times, brethren. Do we have the faith to carry us through what comes next after all of this stuff?

This is coming for all of us, and it gets personal here. Some of us are going to be killed; do we have enough faith to get from point A to point B? That is the question.

Matthew 24:9

Brother, there is going to be anguish. It is going to get hard.

This has not happened yet, but it is coming. Yet some of God's people are already refusing to keep God's Word because of covid and assemble themselves on the Sabbath and on the holy days, and to keep the feast, brethren.
