How much have we read about, seen, and/or experienced throughout history the fulfillment of the above Scriptures?

“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then recognize that her desolation is near.
Luke 21:20 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.21.20.NASB1995

Turn To Me

Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; For I am God, and there is no other. Isaiah‬ ‭45:22‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.45.22.NASB1995

God is inclusive when it comes to the offer of salvation. He already knows that all are sinners – all nationalities, all walks of life, all ages, – and that we all fall short of His glory. But God. God simply says, turn to Me and be saved. God created all mankind, that’s everybody,  and He is the only way to salvation from the sin and corruption of each individual’s life in this world. Now is the time of salvation.

‭‭Behold, now is “the acceptable time,” behold, now is “the day of salvation”—
2 Corinthians‬ ‭6:2‬b ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/2co.6.2.NASB1995

Any delay could cost you your eternity. The payment made by Jesus Christ on the cross for you is eternal joy. The cost of refusing the payment made by Jesus is eternal hell. Hell does not come close to the hell you might be experiencing in your earthly life. Just remember that the choice is yours. Jesus simply says, “Turn to Me and be saved”.

‭‭🌹The Lord has bared His holy arm In the sight of all the nations, That all the ends of the earth may see The salvation of our God.

Observe, Be Astonished

Things happening in this world may bring fear, uncertainty, and seem as if it is out of control, but God.
God is always at work in His creation. God is in control.

🌹“Look among the nations! Observe! Be astonished! Wonder! Because I am doing something in your days— You would not believe if you were told.
