Jesus said in Matthew 24, "For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened." There can only be one such time in history, and we are rapidly approaching the unimaginable horrors of the end of the age. What can we do as Christians to be counted worthy of escaping such great tribulation?
