2. Bible Prophecies

a) Jesus spoke of a day of unequaled destruction and suffering. 

Matthew 24:21-22 New International Version (NIV) 

21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again. 

22 “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. 

3. Written: During the first century 

a) In Matthew 24:21-22, Jesus says that there would come a time of unequaled suffering. Many people have offered their opinions about this prophecy, claiming that it has already happened, or that it is happening, or that it will happen in the future. Some opinions involve claims of widespread disease and famine, or terrorism, or nuclear war, etc. And, so, it can be easy to overlook the good news contained in this prophecy: No matter what happens in this world, no matter how bad things get, God ultimately is in control. And, as we learn from other verses, such as John 3:16, no matter what happens, those who believe in Jesus are given the gift of salvation and eternal life with God.
