Woe to pregnant women and nursing mothers in those days, for a terrible calamity will come upon the earth and a wrathful judgment upon this people. They will fall by the edge of the sword and be taken as captives to all the Gentiles; and Jerusalem will be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
“There will be signs in the sun, the moon,
and the stars, and on earth nations will be in dismay, perplexed by the roaring
of the sea and the waves. People will die of fright in anticipation of what is
coming upon the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then
they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. But
when these signs begin to happen, stand erect and raise your heads because your
redemption is at hand.

Jesus talks about a very frightening scenario in the gospel. But at the same time at the end He also tells us that there shall be redemption. We also have our own share of frightening scenarios in our lives. Problems, trials, persecution and we may feel that this is already the end for us and this kind of scenario would test us.
Let us continue to steadfastly hold on to God, let us not let go no matter how difficult our trials. For at the end there shall be redemption for us also. If we have God nobody could bring us down not even the occurrence of the end times.
However, there are times that many of us give up but why give up when God has not given up upon us? God is always there for us to assure us that everything will be alright no matter how difficult and frightening the situation before us.
Let us not allow the signs of the end
times to weaken us. For the simple reason that there is always hope for as long
as we continue to have faith in Jesus. – Marino J. Dasmarinas
