Before All This

Luk 21:1 And looking up He saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury, 
Luk 21:2 and He saw a certain poor widow putting in two mites. 
Luk 21:3 And He said, “Truly I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all. 
Luk 21:4 “For all these out of their excess have put in offerings for Elohim, but she out of her poverty has put in all that she had to live on.”
Luk 21:5 And as some were speaking about the Set-apart Place, that it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, He said,
Luk 21:6 “These that you see – the days are coming in which not one stone shall be left upon another that shall not be thrown down.”
Luk 21:7 And they asked Him, saying, “Teacher, but when shall this be? And what is the sign when this is about to take place?”
Luk 21:8 And He said, “See that you are not led astray, for many shall come in My Name, saying, ‘I am,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Then do not go after them.
Luk 21:9 “But when you hear of fightings and unrests, do not be alarmed, for these have to take place first, but the end is not immediately.”
Luk 21:10 Then He said to them, “Nation shall rise against nation, and reign against reign.
Luk 21:11 “And there shall be great earthquakes in various places, and scarcities of food and
deadly diseases. And there shall be horrors, and great signs from heaven.

We have all of these things going on now and they are bad, but notice what the next verse says, “BEFORE all this”. Before all this has not even started to happen yet. Today we have the internet and global communication so when something happens we all know about it. We have not even gotten to the really bad, bad stuff yet where some of us will be put in prison and really persecuted. The earthquakes will be much worse than they are now along with scarcities of food and
deadly diseases. And there shall be horrors, and great signs from heaven.
