For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
All these are the beginning of sorrows.
(Matt. 24:7-8)

   "And He said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in My name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near:
go ye not therefore after them.
But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.
Then said He unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for My name's sake. And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
   Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for My name's sake. But there shall not an hair of your head perish. In your patience possess ye your souls.
And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
   But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
And He spake to them a parable;
Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.
So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away:
but My words shall not pass away.

And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

Watch ye therefore, and pray always,
that ye may be accounted worthy
to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and
to stand before the Son of man.
(Luke 21:8-36)

   "And now, little children, abide in Him; that, when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before Him at His coming."..(1John 2:28)

   In every thing give thanks:
for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
   Quench not the Spirit.
   Despise not prophesyings.
   Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
   Abstain from all appearance of evil.
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly;
and I pray God
your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless
unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
   Faithful is He that calleth you, who also will do it.
(1Thes. 5:18-24)
------------------------------------------------------------

"Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things,
as silver and gold, from your vain conversation
received by tradition from your fathers;
But with the precious blood of Christ,
as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world,
but was manifest in these last times for you,
Who by Him do believe in God,
that raised Him up from the dead, and gave Him glory;
that your faith and hope might be in God.
Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth
through the Spirit
unto unfeigned love of the brethren,
see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible,
by the word of God,
which liveth and abideth for ever."
(1Peter 1:18-23)

....For ye are bought with a price:
therefore glorify God
in your body,
and in your spirit,
which are God's.
(1Cor. 6:20)

..."Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock,
over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers,
to feed the church of God,
which He hath purchased with His own blood."
(Acts 20:28)

...Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them:
for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
(1Tim. 4:16)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

...In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works:
in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
Sound speech, that cannot be condemned;
that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed,
having no evil thing to say of you.
(Tit 2:7-8)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

....Feed the flock of God which is among you,
taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly;
not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
And when the chief Shepherd shall appear,
ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
(1Peter 5:2-4)

........
"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvellous light:
Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God:
which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims,
abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles:
that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers,
they may by your good works, which they shall behold,
glorify God in the day of visitation.
(1Peter 2:9-12)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

...
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding,
shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
(Phi 4:6-9)

"Now the God of peace,
that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus,
that Great Shepherd of the sheep,
through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
Make you perfect in every good work to do His will,
working in you that which is wellpleasing in His sight,
through Jesus Christ;
to whom be glory for ever and ever.
Amen.
(Heb 13:20-21)

The Living Word of G-d is multifaceted and many layered. Within His Word we find double and triple meanings, as we read Psalms we understand the author to be praying for his own needs, but so often our needs are also reflected in the Psalms.
Our prayers before G-d are recorded in scripture and are timeless, they continue today, even as David prayed , we find ourselves praying His Word.

G-d has known the end from the beginning and is able to fashion His Word that we might have understanding and knowledge of those things that were, and are and will come to be.

I enjoy the preacher; "The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us." (Ecc 1:9-10)...

I find in scripture all I will ever need to know...even in the double meanings of prophecy and the bold statements of Truth, I find I am again renewed in my mind, that it is ONLY G-D Who is Sovereign.

Only G-D Who has set the end from the beginning, and calls those things that are not as tho they were.

He Speaks and IT IS.

I see from His Word, that HIS WORK IS HIS WORD. ..
By the LORD's word, the heavens were made; all their army by the breath of His mouth. (Psalms 33:6)

"And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed." (Luke 17:26-30)

"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith." (2Tim. 3:1-8)

"But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Messiah Yeshua (Christ Jesus).
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works." (2Tim. 3:14-17)

..."Yahweh's law is perfect, restoring the soul. Yahweh's testimony is sure, making wise the simple. Yahweh's precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. Yahweh's commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of Yahweh is clean, enduring forever. Yahweh's ordinances are true, and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb. Moreover by them is your servant warned. In keeping them there is great reward. (Psalms 19:7-11)

Blessed are you, Yahweh. Teach me your statutes. (Psalms 119:12)

...I cling to your statutes, Yahweh. Don't let me be disappointed. I run in the path of your commandments, for you have set my heart free.
Teach me, Yahweh, the way of your statutes. I will keep them to the end. Give me understanding, and I will keep your law.

Yes, I will obey it with my whole heart. Direct me in the path of your commandments, for I delight in them. (Psalms 119:31-35)

....I will also speak of your statutes before kings, and will not be disappointed. I will delight myself in your commandments, because I love them.
I reach out my hands for your commandments, which I love. I will meditate on your statutes. (Psalms 119:46-48)

We have the more sure word of prophecy; and you do well that you heed it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns, and the morning star arises in your hearts: knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation. For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit. (2Peter 1:19-21)

Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed. The night is far gone, and the day is near. Let's therefore throw off the works of darkness, and let's put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and lustful acts, and not in strife and jealousy. But put on the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts. (Romans 13:11-14)

...But as it is written, "Things which an eye didn't see, and an ear didn't hear, which didn't enter into the heart of man, these G-d has prepared for those who love Him."
But to us, G-d revealed them through the Spirit.
For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of G-d.
For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of the man, which is in him?
Even so, no one knows the things of G-d, except G-d's Spirit.
But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from G-d, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by G-d. Which things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things. (1Cor. 2:9-13)

..."The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His Kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and those who do iniquity, and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
Then the righteous will shine forth like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father.
He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

(Matt. 13:41-43)
