Daniel 12:10 In 1913, a little more than 100 years ago, Europe was prosperous. The British Empire, the world's greatest empire, flourished. The world was moving toward globalization. Things seemed so stable and certain. Then a single event, the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, triggered the greatest conflict to that time, World War I. In a short span of time, that seemingly stable world,became unstable and in turmoil. A century later, we would be wise to heed the lessons of the past—the unthinkable can happen again—and will! Jesus, in Matthew 24, explained the seals of Revelation. We are nearing the end of the age. Don't fall prey to the complacency of these materialistic times.   Related Reading: Are We Living in the Time of the End?
