shall be a witness
against you,
and shall eat
your flesh as it were fire.
Ye have heaped treasure
together for the last days…”
James 5:1-5

…Behold, the hire of the labourers who have

reaped down your fields, which is of you kept
back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them

“And take heed to yourselves, lest at

any time your hearts be overcharged

For as a snare shall it come on all
them that dwell on the face of the
whole earth…
Luke 21:34-36

and pray always, that
ye may be accounted
worthy to escape all
these things that shall
come to pass, and to

man.”

is there a time of peace and understanding among the nations
in store for us? What awaits our children? 
What will the 21st century bring us?
What does God reveal in the Bible about this? A topic that
will fill you with hope.
