When Christians experience these great wars and disasters, they are tempted to think that they are signs of Jesus' returning and of the end of the age.

............Many times people have supposed that some great catastrophe that occurred in their day was a sign that Christ was about to come.

.....................However, the Lord told us "All these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet."

These things have been going on for centuries, but they aren't going to go on forever. He is going to come as a thief in the night, very unexpected if we think that.
