Though it's a well-worn cliche, and then some...it's no untruth to repeat the biblical declaration, one uttered by None Other than Jesus Christ Himself (in His famous 'Olivet'/Mount of Olives Endtime pronunciations) as recorded in various of the 'synoptic gospels', i.e. those of Matthew, Mark and Luke...
This generation will not pass away...till all these things be fulfilled.
What kind of things? Hey, that'd take a whole lotta time I simply don't have this evening, but suffice to say it doubtless includes any and all of the kinda stuff the Master'd presently been 'rattling off'(no disrespect intended, simply the most convenient phraseology to convey my point!)...
...to His blessed, chosen Twelve...
i.e. the likes of 'wars and rumours of wars'...'kingdoms rising against kingdoms'...'famines, plagues and pestilences'...'false prophets and Christs/Messiahs'...
...and ultimately a day and age in which 'brother (and no doubt sister) will betray brother (and no doubt sister), to death, parents will betray children and children [their] parents [to death]'...
...and [w]hen there will be great tribulation, such as never was since there was a nation...
...a special moment in time, in fact, in which this gospel of the kingdom [would] be preached unto the entire world...
...and then the end will [most surely - make no mistake about it] come...
So those looking somewhat askance at present-day geopolitical developments across our globe, may well find somewhat cute a certain American President's seemingly inimitable ability to not only pull off one heckuva electoral upset in Presidential Election 2016 - for the inside story/scoop thereupon I can only suggest the intrepid reader 'visit' and spend quality time upon my 42-page 'insider' posted herein upon August the 22nd, 2016 - but at this stage looks seriously set to repeat his success in little over one year's time...'despite the odds' of such a thing occurring...
And whether in regards to that, or simply vis-a-vis 'the Donald's' seemingly endless ability to pull success 'out of the ashes of defeat' (to quote Henry Higgins' immortalized words to Eliza Doolittle in 'My Fair Lady') in all sorts of various and sundry arenas and situations...
guess what, folks? Yep, he'll not 'have the last laugh'...no sirree!
That privileged place/position has already - long since - been taken up by One Who brooks no rivals ...the Almighty Himself, in point of fact...
For somewhere He has declared, in laying out the trajectory of His Second Advent to our troubled orb - "without sin, for salvation...to those eagerly awaiting Him"...
...and moreover regarding the conditions to accompany that blessed time, about which apparently the sacred Scriptures have more to say than about any other topic, that at that solemn time
the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the [A]rchangel, and with the trump [sic] of God...
And elsewhere (a couple epistles back) the Apostle Paul, in likewise specifying the great and long-foretold return of Jesus the Christ for His own, declares:
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump (sic):
for the trumpet shall sound...
after which believers throughout the ages, whether dead or still alive to witness Jesus' Second Coming, will be whisked 'up together in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air'...
...and thus shall...ever be with the Lord...
Folks, do I happen to believe that 'it's just a coincidence' that ye good ole King James Bible happens to be the one and only version which still renders this particular passage in this oh so particular way?
Believe it or not, I don't...and nor should you...
And no, I'm not too childlike to happen to think that it's not so much a backhanded compliment at the tenure of President Donald J Trump as it is the Omniscient One's way of - oh so subtly - informing us all of the approximate time of His return to Planet Earth, whilst notifying/putting upon notice a certain Mr Trump as to
Who will ultimately have the very last laugh...
Nuff Said!
