Aloha and welcome to Amen Podcast. I'm Look Ilani and the next voice you'll hear is my husband, Alex, who is tackling some heavy but incredibly relevant verses from Matthew 24 verses 9 through 14.

This is where Jesus warns his disciples about persecution, false prophets, and the love of many growing cold.

But he also gives us the beautiful promise about the gospel going to all nations before the

end comes.

We'll be exploring what these verses meant for the early church and what they mean for us today

as we see lawlessness multiplying around us.

Are we living in the times just described? How do we endure when

everything seems to be falling apart? We'll stick around and as we dig deep into God's word

and find hope even in these challenging prophecies. If you haven't already, please subscribe to

Let's pray and then jump in. Amen.

What's going on guys? Thank you for being here. Let's pray. Father, we thank you for an opportunity

to open up and learn about the end times. We thank you that you tell us that persecutions will happen,

but you tell us what they mean, why they come,

the purpose in them, and you tell us how to get through them,

and we pray that we would just be encouraged to press in,

even in the midst of persecution.

And we thank you for the example we see from your son.

Your name we pray, amen.
