Know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here.—2 Tim. 3:1.

 

Were you born after the year 1914? If so, you have lived your entire life during “the last days” of the present system of things. All of us have heard about the events that Jesus foretold for this time. These include wars, food shortages, earthquakes, pestilences, an increasing of lawlessness, and the persecution of Jehovah’s people. (Matt. 24:3, 7-9, 12; Luke 21:10-12) We have also seen people behave in the way foretold by the apostle Paul. As worshippers of Jehovah, we are convinced that we are living during “the final part of the days.” (Mic. 4:1) Because so much time has passed since 1914, we must now be living in the last of “the last days.” Since the end is so near, we need to know the answers to some important questions: What events will occur at the end of “the last days”? And what does Jehovah expect us to do while we wait for those events? w19.10 8 ¶1-2

[Sister Twister]

We watch the signs of living in the time of the end with interest knowing our deliverance is near , while the world looks at the world situation in confusion   

We on the other hand have the opportunity to know exactly how things will take place, being prepared for anything that may happen with full reliance on Jehovah.

[Elnathan]

The last of the last days should help us to do some self introspection about our relationship with Jehovah & do things that Jehovah expects us to do before the Great tribulations & sudden destruction occurs. We need to be busy in the work of the Lord & keep separate from the world.

Critical times affect us in all areas of life-physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Who of us isn't struggling with giving up, giving in, giving out and feel taken down.  No of us is alone in feeling the effects of these critical times. We all have a role in supporting one another during these last days. So, if you have good words to speak, do not hold back from sharing them. You may just be able to help someone get through another day.
