Twitter #Manchester reported some children who were at the Ariana Grande concerts were not answering their cellphones. The explosion happened at 10:30 PM Manchester time. A rumor of up to 23 dead.

These things have been predicted EONS ago. It is now coming to pass, BUT. . . . . . . we, as Christ followers, have been advised NOT to be alarmed

I believe most scholars believe this was all fulfilled in the first century. If so, it is not relevant.

The explosion also comes on the fourth anniversary of the death of a British Army soldier, Fusilier Lee Rigby, who was publicly executed by Islamic terrorists.

No terror groups, including ISIS, have made a claim of responsibility for the incident. But ISIS supporters have been “celebrating” the incident on social media.

Does anyone else feel like ISIS is going to claim responsibility whether or not they actually did it? Just to create the illusion that they're unstoppable and virtually omnipresent? Their game is fear, and they'll take every opportunity to create it that they can, even if it wasn't one of their thugs who perpetrated the act.

No, not really. They are praising it but have not claimed any responsibility.

Families as young as 6 years olds posting pics of their missing children on social media? I certainly hope they had a guardian of age with them. I can't imagine letting a 6 year old going to a concert without me.

In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit
Amen

HAIL, O Star of the ocean,
God's own Mother blest,
ever sinless Virgin,
gate of heav'nly rest.

Taking that sweet Ave,
which from Gabriel came,
peace confirm within us,
changing Eva's name.

Break the sinners' fetters,
make our blindness day,
Chase all evils from us,
for all blessings pray.

Show thyself a Mother,
may the Word divine
born for us thine Infant
hear our prayers through thine.

Virgin all excelling,
mildest of the mild,
free from guilt preserve us
meek and undefiled.

Keep our life all spotless,
make our way secure
till we find in Jesus,
joy for evermore.

Praise to God the Father,
honor to the Son,
in the Holy Spirit,
be the glory one. Amen.

In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit
Amen

Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with all the masses said throughout the world today, for all holy souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family.

Amen

In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit
Amen

and if NOT, it IS VERY relevant; and since Christ did NOT return then, it obviously did NOT refer to your time period.

read the addenda I added to my last post.
Do you think the scholars don't know Jesus did not return?

The prevailing view of scholars, I believe is that the material in Matthew 24 was fulfilled in the first century.
