As Jesus described to His disciples the events of the end times, He portrayed a time of great distress and tragedy. He made it clear that this must happen to unfold God’s plan. He also encouraged them to be watchful, prayerful, and ready to be a witness of His Kingdom.

As the end gets near for my mother (she’s 89), her life is getting more difficult. Dementia and weakness become more pronounced each day. For me, it makes me more ready for her trip to heaven. I am more willing to release her.

Could it be that God knows He must stir the pot at the end to make us more ready and welcoming of the end of time in this life?
