How

about? 

We have a global trade war?

During the middle of another economic catastrophe.

While paying taxes to China for rights of passage through the South China sea.

While Russia, Iran and Turkey exert their influence in the middle east. 

With Turkey leaving NATO and taking our Nukes with them.

In the middle of removing a sitting US president.

With Pakistan aligning with China and Iran.

And hell why not, throw in an Iran, Israel war.

With a side order of a worldwide outbreak of some unknown incurable virus?

Sound fun?

Think it's impossible?

Matthew 24:21-22 

For then there will be great distress, 

unequaled from the beginning of the world until now

—and never to be equaled again.

“If those days had not been cut short, 

no one would survive, 

but for the sake of the elect 

those days will be shortened.
