Is this world will?According to scripture it will.And as we observe this past year see have experience different types of calamities which is never been before happening in the planet of the earth.
Earthquake
The earthquake that happen last 2020 has caused the world tremble, here in the Philippines it destroys a lot of properties like house, roads, schools, and even it kills the life of few people. Its not only happening but also around the world have experienced this earthquake. And until now, we still have an earthquake in any part of the country.
Famine
Famine is also a sign of the last days, how did it happen, the swine fever has made the poultry grower sacrifice their living by burying their pigs, burn and kill. It breaks the heart of everyone who was affected by this crisis, and it affect the economy around the world.
Death
The next one and very recently was the pandemic which is the covid 19 virus this was the longest-running outbreak of the season and from my existence. This caused the death of thousands of people around the world and regardless of age and gender, it reaches around the world that changed our lifestyle, economy and affects our mental and physical health. Even up to this moment we still having a trying time because their still some precautionary measures implemented by the government. Some vaccines come out but everyone and the majority of the people don't want to get vaccinated because of the side effects.
It seems that it is an unending battle of life and death every day, that we can't see how it will end. Some people say, why did God allow this thing to happen, my view is, God, allow this thing to happen so that the people will turn back to him and make him their Lord. From what I have observed during the earthquake many churches have been filled with many people every Sunday, unlike those times that there is no pandemic, many people want to come to God in prayer.
War
War is never stopping in different parts of the world, many soldiers have sacrificed their lives, and the lives of children and women are in danger. It caused them to lose their living on normal days because they need to leave their homes for safety.
Mathew 24:6-7
And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
Other signs of the last days are the changes in values and character of people.
Selfishness
It is one indication of last days, selfishness, the human will think only of themselves and they are no longer care with their fellow men. And as we have seen everyone was trying to overtake other people whether in business and in. In any field of life, there was a principle of "Me first before others".
2 Timothy 3:1
But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.
Love of Money
The love of money arouses a lot of people to do something bad just to earn money through cheating with other people. We can see the love of money for being greedy who just ignoring the people who need help even if they can afford to do so. Love of money is sometimes the reason for breaking a relationship and makes a family miserable. Committing crimes against someone and can break trust.
Proud
A proud character is someone who thinks of himself that he is higher, better than other people, that he is good and most appreciated. Proud people never accept suggestions or comments from other people because they think that they know better than the other. This people don't know how to relate to other people, and they don't appreciate simple things.
Disobedience to parents
In reality, I saw this in my surrounding in every household. A lot of children didn't respect their parents. Like, yelling at them, even if we say that they are wrong and you are right, as children we don't have the right to shout with them they should be respected.Other children don't listen to the advise of their parents, like being in social media until midnight.And if the parents want to teach some household chores they always refused to do so because they still have something to do like online games.
Ungrateful
This is the tendency when they don't know how to say " thank you", or even say please, when they have something to ask it seems like they are the boss.Even to their parents they don't say it.
Unholy
Holiness doesn't mean that you are already perfect, but its just you putting into practise of living life in accordance to Go's will and purpose , in words, deeds.
Heartless
There are a lot of people who became heartless towards the needy.Even if they have the capacity to extend help they don't give because it seems that its just a waste of time.Their heart became numb which lost the feeling of sympathy.
Without Self-control
Their are a lot of families have been broken because of lack of self control.Being carried away with their emotions and it result to a miserable life.Losing self control Is acting towards the feelings without considering the result of it.
Lovers of pleasure than to love God
Many who have neglect God in their lives, that they can do it on their own, but in realization that even this life that we have is not ours , we don't owned it and it is important that we should recognize the source , our God.The pleasure of this world is just temporary but to please God living for God is like a treasure in heaven,it's last forever and it will never fade, as soon as passed away , God will be pleased in us.
This world have become worst unlike before the early ages which life seems so happy and the environment was so beautiful.As we can see during the floods in different areas it was so destructive that is why we needd to be strong to survive in our living.
Having the appearance of godliness but denying it's power.
This is a dangerous way of disobeying God.Claiming as a servant of God and yet doing things against God.Neglecting the true meaning.of the word of God but instead doing things that is against his power.The appearance is holy in nature, going to church every a Sunday bu didn't live life according to God's grace.
The end of the world will come but nobody knows when will it happen, no one can guess or even predict the exact date or year.But.unfortunately it's not the issue that this world will end but the issue here is, when God return tomorrow , next day, next month will see is serving to him faithfully.While we are waiting we will enjoy this short life that he lend us for this just a temporary but don't lose hope the better days to come soon.
The earthquake, the pandemic, the ASF, and the wars against nations are the signs that we need God, no matter how we deny what we see in our eyes is an expressions of God's existence.If this life will not end how pity with those people who are suffering severely with their illnesses where they can find rest in this life? Nothing but beyond this existence.
Learn to live as though he will come back today.
Have a very pleasant day.
Humanity is deteriorating!
