THE END OF THE AGE

 

World events are coalescing to the end of the age.

We are in the time spoken of in the bible as the days that will be “cut short”.

Once the genie gets out of the bottle, you can't put it back in.
Events are converging in ways that give us serious reason to believe we are near the end of the age.

Scripture speaks of signs that will lead up to the great tribulation, whose days will be cut short.

“Except Those Days Should Be Shortened” — We Approaching the End of the Age.

The disciples asked Yeshua about His coming and “the end of the age” (Matthew 24:3). His answer describes a combination of religious deception, wars, famine, persecution, lawlessness, and ultimately a crisis threatening human survival.

The concern is not merely that troubling events happen. It is that several dangers can interact: war destroys food production, displacement spreads suffering, economic pressure increases instability, and fear makes people vulnerable to deceptive leaders.

1. Yeshua warned of wars

Read Matthew 24:6–8; Mark 13:7–8; Luke 21:9–11.

Yeshua foretold wars, nations rising against nations, famines, and earthquakes. Yet He explicitly said:

“The end is not yet.” —Matthew 24:6, KJV

He called these conditions the beginning of sorrows, often understood as birth pains.

Today’s security concerns are substantial. SIPRI’s June 2026 assessment reports increasing reliance on nuclear weapons, modernization of nuclear arsenals, and rising risks of miscalculation and escalation. It estimates approximately 12,187 nuclear warheads worldwide in January 2026. SIPRI

2. War and hunger are interacting

Read Matthew 24:7; Revelation 6:3–8.

Revelation’s imagery connects warfare, scarcity, and death. These troubles can reinforce one another rather than occur independently.

In June 2026, the World Food Programme reported that Middle East conflict and disrupted shipping were worsening hunger through higher fuel costs, damaged supply chains, and reduced access to food and aid. reuters.com

And NOW we are being made aware of the dangers of AI, Artificial Intelligence.

This gives a concrete example of what “coalescing” means: one crisis feeds another. War and famine have occurred throughout history, including periods of immense suffering. Now for the first time in history they are coming together to threaten the very existence of life on the planet. 

3. Deception and lawlessness belong at the center of this study

Read Matthew 24:4–5, 11–13, 24.

Yeshua’s first warning was:

“Take heed that no man deceive you.” —Matthew 24:4, KJV

He warned about false messiahs and false prophets—not merely political conflict. He also connected increasing lawlessness with love growing cold.

That means watching prophecy requires more than following headlines. It requires examining teachings, conduct, and claims of spiritual authority.

• Deuteronomy 13:1–4: Even an impressive sign does not justify following someone who leads people away from Yahweh.
• Matthew 7:15–23: Religious claims and remarkable works do not excuse lawlessness.
• 2 Thessalonians 2:1–4: Paul warned believers against being shaken by claims that the day had already arrived.

A teacher who announces certainty beyond the evidence should be tested by these warnings too.

4. What are the days that will be cut short?

Read Matthew 24:15–22; Mark 13:14–20; Daniel 12:1.

Matthew places the statement within a particular sequence:

Passage	What Yeshua describes
Matthew 24:15–16	The abomination of desolation and an instruction to flee
Matthew 24:21	Great tribulation of unprecedented severity
Matthew 24:22	Those days shortened so that human life survives
Matthew 24:29–31	Cosmic signs, His coming, and the gathering of the elect

The central verse says:

“And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.” —Matthew 24:22, KJV

In this context, “saved” concerns survival through the catastrophe. Yeshua is describing a crisis so devastating that, without divine intervention, no flesh would survive.

The passage concerns limiting the duration of that tribulation. It does not say that ordinary twenty-four-hour days will become shorter.

Modern nuclear weapons, manmade deadly disease, and AI, make the prospect of destruction on an enormous scale easier to understand. .

5. How should we respond?

Read Luke 21:34–36; Matthew 24:13, 42–46; 2 Peter 3:11–14.

The response Scripture calls for is practical:

• Watch and pray, keeping your attention on Yahweh.
• Repent and remain faithful, rather than becoming absorbed in predictions.
• Guard against deception, including sensational religious claims.
• Keep love alive, caring for people who suffer.
• Continue your responsibilities, as the faithful servant does while awaiting his master.

A Scripture-grounded conclusion

We are seeing a convergence of dangerous conditions that resembles parts of Yeshua’s warning about the end of the age. This warrants sober watchfulness. These conditions establish that we are living within the specific days He said would be shortened.

The promise of Matthew 24:22 is that the catastrophe will not continue without limit. Yahweh will intervene. Our task is to remain faithful, discerning, and loving as we await Yeshua’s return.

IT WON’T BE LONG NOW
