Recap! Matthew 24:14 states that the good news of Gods kingdom must be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to the nations, then the end will come. But this must be done to Gods satisfaction, not mans! We must learn of him and seek his wisdom to sustain our lives and become doers of the word not just hearer's only. Faith without works is dead, so faith and love of God and his goodness and mercy should motivate us to turn to him and want to please him and show him with actions that we love him. Words mean nothing if it is not backed up by actions. So question is ,how do we please God and how do we find out what pleases him? Jesus said to his father in heaven, this means everlasting life them taking in knowledge of you the only true God,and me. The Bible is written for our instruction and beneficial for teaching and giving us the wisdom to live forever.

During these critical times that we live in people need to rely on God more than there own wisdom cause his wisdom is far greater than ours. He is the only true source of finding the way out of this crisis that we are all in. The bible tell's us in luke 21:10,11:"Then he went on to say to them "Nation will rise aganist Nation,"and Kingdom aganist Kingdom;verse 11,and there will be great earthquakes, and in one place after another pestilences and food shortages;and there will be fearful sights and from heaven great signs. Luke 21:25 "Also, there will be signs in sun and moon and stars and on the earth anguish of nations, not knowing the way out because of the roaring of the sea and (its) agitation,26 while men become faint out of fear and expectation of the things coming upon the inhabited earth; for the powers of the heaven will be shaken. 28,But as these things start to occur, raise yourselves erect and lift your heads up, because your deliverance is getting near." 32, Truly I say to you, This generation will by no means pass away until all things occur. So we know that we live in the last days and these are the thing's that Jesus spoke of and he also said in Matthew 24:24 must be first to Gods satisfaction then the end will come like a theif. Just as in the days of Noah before the flood came and swept them away so will the days of Gods anger toward this wicked world. Men in this wicked world are just as 2 Timothy 1-5 says "But know this that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. 2,For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, 3, having no natural affection , not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, betrayers, headstrong, puffed up (with pride), lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God,5 having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power and from these turn away.
