When the Lord come, there is great trouble and glory. Righteousness increase and darkness increase. The region that continues in prayer will have breakthrough.
When we look back at church history, God uses people to reform the church.
When we approach near to Jesus returning, there will be great shaking and advancement
At the end of the age, Satan will not have authority over the government anymore
There will be greater darkness and light
The wheat and tare will mature together
