The Lord Jesus said, "... Take heed
that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying,
I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of
wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all
these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation
shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall
be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in
divers places. All these are the beginning
of sorrows." (Matthew 24:4-8) The
"sorrows" here are like those of a woman when she about to
delivered her child. God told Eve that He would "greatly
multiply [her] sorrow and [her] conception; in sorrow [she would] bring
forth children" (Genesis 3:16). Similarly a "sign of
[Christ's] coming, and of the end of the world" (Matthew 24:3) will
be as a woman's birth pains increase as time for delivery nears.
All five of the things in Matthew 24:4-7 (false christs, wars, famines,
pestilences, earthquakes) will be simultaneously increasing as the time
of the end draws near. Research proves that this is in fact
occurring in our lifetime.

Bush warns Putin over 'World War Three'By
Matthew Moore and Adrian Blomfield

David Blair: No warmth or trust behind the handshake
Leader: Vladimir Putin in Teheran
President George W Bush today warned that world leaders risk helping
bring about "World War Three" unless they do more to prevent
Iran developing nuclear weapons.
In remarks timed to coincide with
Russian president Vladimir Putin's visit to Teheran, Mr Bush said the
Islamic republic must remain isolated until it drops its nuclear
ambitions.
New best friends: Vladimir Putin and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
after their meeting in Teheran
"We've got a leader in Iran who has announced that he wants
to destroy Israel," Mr Bush told a White House press
conference.
"So I've told people that, if you're interested in avoiding World
War Three, it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing them
from having the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear
weapon."
Mr Bush's pointed statement follows the warm words exchanged by Mr Putin
and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, at an historic summit in
Teheran this week.
After their meeting Mr Putin repeated Moscow's line that there is no
evidence to suggest Iran wants to build a nuclear bomb, and pledged to
continue helping the country develop its civil nuclear
technology.
As the
first Kremlin leader to visit Iran since Josef Stalin in 1943, he
also secured the vital backing of Azerbaijan in a five-nation pact by the
Caspian states to prevent the US from using the region as a staging
ground for military action against Iran.
Mr Bush added today that he had no doubts that Russia appreciated the
dangers of a nuclear Iran.
But he said that he wished to speak to Mr Putin about his meeting with
Ayatollah Khamenei, the supreme Iranian leader, during which he is said
to have suggested a new proposal to end the nuclear stand-off.
"I'm looking forward to getting President Putin's read-out from the
meeting," Mr Bush said.
"The thing I'm interested in is whether or not he continues to
harbour the same concerns that I do.
"I will continue to work with Russia as well as other nations to
keep a focused effort on sending Iran a message that you will remain
isolated if you continue your nuclear weapons ambitions."
Although Russia lent its reluctant backing to two United Nations
resolutions imposing sanctions on Iran, it has been stridently opposed to
escalating the penalties after Teheran refused to stop its uranium
enrichment programme.
Among Western diplomats, opinion is divided as to whether Russia — which
has little to gain from a nuclear Iran — will
eventually
acquiesce.
Emboldened by its vast energy resources and desperate to reclaim its
status as a global power, Russia could also stand to gain by seeing the
United States dragged into a new, controversial and potentially
debilitating Middle East conflict.
