“when it is an evil time, a time of calamity in a nation, it is not a time to be loquacious and talkative, especially in a vain and ludicrous way, Amo 5:13; or when a particular friend or relation is in distress, as in the case of Job and his friends, Job 2:13; or when in the presence of wicked men, who make a jest of everything serious and religious, Psa_39:1; and so when under afflictive dispensations of Providence, it is a time to be still and dumb, and not open the mouth in a murmuring and complaining way, Lev 10:3.

And, on the other hand, there is a time to speak, either publicly, of the truths of the Gospel, in the ministry of it, and in vindication of them; or privately, of Christian experience: there is a time when an open profession should be made of Christ, his word and ordinances, and when believers should speak to God in prayer and praise; which, should they not, the stones in the wall would cry out.” – John Gill

It is sad to see so much tension and division on social media among professing Christians surrounding Covid-19. I searched Sermonaudio this morning for the topic 'unity' and indeed this a rising concern being raised from pulpits everywhere. For sure, the devil's crop of discord is in season.

Two days ago or two thousand years ago, Paul, the Apostle, did write to the saints which were at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus, saying: Ephesians 5:v.15-21:

15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

The days are evil

In fact, the first six Days were evil, six days of God's battle against Satan. JESUS came or was born in the fourth Day, and lived around 33 years in the beginnning of the fifth Day, and was crucified.
And when JESUS was tempted, the Devil offered Him the kingdoms of the whole world with his glories. Terrible. Terrible. Evil Day . The only Day that will not be evil is the Day of the Lord, the Lord's Day, the
seventh and last Day, or seventh and last millennium, the millennium of Christ, the millennium Truth, the millennium of Judgment, the Judgment Seat of Christ , and the millennium of Vengeance.

In my vision, the sixth Day or sixth millennium just ended, and the seventh will just begin. Now we can say:JESUS is at door really.

And, on the other hand, there is a time to speak, either publicly, of the truths of the Gospel, in the ministry of it, and in vindication of them; or privately, of Christian experience: there is a time when an open profession should be made of Christ, his word and ordinances, and when believers should speak to God in prayer and praise; which, should they not, the stones in the wall would cry out.” – John Gill

...there is a time to speak, either publicly, of the truths of the Gospel...

The problem is to preach the Gospel out of the time, as the preachers (Pastors, and Bishops, Missionaries, Ministers, Evangelists) which were selling oil for the foolish virgins. We can see that all preachers and all the foolish virgins lost their souls. Well, JESUS is at the door, to close it, and the door will be shut. Woe of those who only have a lamp, but have not oil.

Matt.25:v.8-13
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

DISCERNMENT OF THE TIMES

Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And as JESUS sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto Him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the END of the world? Mat.24:v.1-3


JESUS warning about about the happennings in the beginning of the sorrows:
Mat.24:v.7-8 - 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

JESUS was not talking about random events caused by nature, in fact JESUS was revealing to the disciples the events that He, Himself, with his own power, would provoke or cause in the earth in this time of the END, with the same Power that He rebuked the wind and the sea and there was a calm, and the disciples marveled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

JESUS is already fulfilling LITERALLY His words, and He sent first the PESTILENCE as we have seen, by the way, Habakkuk 3:v.5-6 prophesied saying: 5 Before him went the PESTILENCE, and burning coals went forth at his feet. 6 He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting.

The next punishment in accord the word of JESUS is the FAMINE, and earthquakes will happen in divers PLACES. Honestly, I do not know what places will be chastised with earthquakes, but I am sure that they can happen even in any place where there is not tectonic plates.

These earthquakes that will be caused by the Power of JESUS from now on, will not be equal as natural phenomena through movements of tectonic plates, no, they will not be by natural phenomena. These earthquakes IN DIVERS PLACES that will be caused by JESUS, they may occur even in places where nature does not offer conditions to happen, and where it never happened, for example, Brazil is one of these places.

May our LORD God bless and keep us, and give us His protection
Amen

In my understand, JESUS calls the end of times, and the end of the world of Devil that will happen from now on, more truthfully than you, what do you think?

The things JESUS said that will happen now in the end of the world, they are not random happenings as if they were phenomenon of the nature, no, absolutely, it is He himself that will make the PESTILENCE to chastise the nations, by the way, this kind of punishment He has already sent and is running over the world of Devil. The next punishments will be FAMINE and earthquakes in divers places, even in places where tectonic plates inexist, understand? For example, Brazil.

Furthermore, from now on JESUS will cause that a nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, the world of Devil will fall in total chaos. But all these things are the beginning of sorrows. The worse will come after. Be ready and take careful, the worse will come after, the worse will come after.

In fact, upon the earth there will be distress of nations with perplexity; the sea(peoples, and nations, and multitudes, and tongues) the waves(the movements of peoples, and nations, and multitudes, and tongues) roaring; And men's hearts failing them for fear or men will pass out from terror, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for the redemption draweth nigh.

And do not forget, it is necessary to be ready to enter in with the bridegroom to the marriage, and with lamp only it will be impossible, it is necessary to have lamp and oil, understand? Wake up. The bridegroom is at door, and the door will be shut.
