The October 2023 Hamas attack on Israel was another major shaking, setting the stage for the rise of the antichrist and Armageddon. Concerning these dark days, Jesus said: "Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near." (Luke 21:28). Further, Christ warns that Christians must be prepared to endure persecution and a big part of the Great Tribulation before the rapture occurs. Learn how to become ready to escape the end-time extreme troubles that have already started. Jesus said we would NOT know the day or hour of His appearance, but we would know the season-and that season is now upon us. Jesus said about this current time: "And what I say to you I say to all: Stay awake." Mark 13:37
