world by a thread

Two thousand years ago, the Lord's followers asked Jesus, "What sign will there be of Your coming and the end of the world?" (Matthew 24:3). The Lord Jesus replied: “And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars; look, do not be disturbed; why must it happen that way; but it's still not the end. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. But all these things are the beginning of pains” (Matthew 24:6-8).
