Preface
Jesus says before The Great Tribulation, there will be a period of time called, "The Beginning of Sorrows."
(Mt. 24:7-8) For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
(I believe this is the period in which we live now.)
This "Beginning of Sorrows" has likely been going on for centuries, but the problems increase toward the end when Jesus returns and the judgments of God come upon the world and the apostate churches.
The apostle Paul says: Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. (2 Timothy 3:13)

The beginning of sorrows: (Mt. 24:7-8)
💥 Wars: I believe Hitler and World War II were part of "The Beginning of Sorrows" where millions of Jews were murdered and unthinkable atrocities occurred. (and regional wars were a part and are today happening)
💥 Famines: since 1900 ... 1907-11 East Central China; 1918 Lebanon; 1914-18 Germany; 1917 German East Africa;1917-19 Persia; 1918-19 Rwanda; 1919-22 Turkestan; 1920-21 China; 1920-22 Cape Verde; 1921-22 Russia; 1921-23 Ukraine; 1924-25 Ireland; 1930-31 Madagascar; 1940-45 Warsaw Ghetto; 1940-48 Morocco; 1941-44 Soviet Union; 1941-44 Greece; 1942-43 Iran; 1943 Bengai, India, Bangladesh; 1943-44 Rwanda, Burundi; 1943-45 Yemen; 1944-45 Java, Indonesia; 1944-45 Dutch; 1945 Vietnam;1949 Malawi; 1958 Ethiopia; 1959-61 China; 1966-67 Indonesia; 1967-70 Nigeria; 1971-73 Afghanistan; 1972-73 Ethiopia; 1973 Sudan; 1974 Bangladesh; 1975-79 Cambodia; 1980-81 Uganda;1982-85 Mozambique; Ethiopia; 1984-85 Sudan; 1990-2003 Iraq; 1991-92 Somalia; 1994-98 North Korea; 2000-21 Sudan, Congo; Niger, West Africa, Somalia, Yemen, Tigray, (See Wikipedia for more)
Deaths in the 1907-11 China famine: 20,000,000-25,000,000
Many famines were due to wars.
Wikipedia: "History of Famines" tells cause of the famine, country affected, and number of deaths
💥 Pestilences: I believe one of the "pestilences" was Coronavirus which covered the earth in 2020 and stopped the whole earth: businesses closed; normal activities stopped; many people died
(It looked like a preview of Revelation 18 which is coming in the end times.)
💥 Earthquakes: 2023 Turkey and Syria where approximately 50,000 people died (unheard of).

And we are seeing other strange things:
* Violence of man killing without reason in schools, churches, subways, parades, beaches
This will happen in the end times before The Great Tribulation according to what the apostle Paul said in 2 Timothy 3.
Paul called these "Perilous times."
2 Timothy 3:1-5; 13 ... This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

(Many will attend church and will look religious but they will not do the scriptures. These are the churches of the apostasy of the last days.)

Recently a TV newscaster said: "Why are these things happening today?"
(extreme violence; people lying; lack of morality and integrity; dramatic forceful weather displays; 50,000 killed in one earthquake; snows in places where it doesn't snow; multiple tornados in seasons when we do not usually see tornados; people killing other people without reason)
The TV guest thoughtfully replied: "I don't know."
We will know because we know what the Bible says about the last days and we know the seasons of the time in which we are living.
This is what this book will show you.
