THE EARTHQUAKE IN TURKEY AND MATTHEW -PREDICTION REVEALED

In Matthew 24 Yahshua is preparing His disciples for things to come, and He tells them that certain events are “the beginning of sorrows” (Matthew 24:8, KJV), or “the beginning of birth pains.” The narrative begins with the disciples pointing out the temple buildings and Yahshua remarking that it would all be torn down (Matthew 24:1–2). The disciples asked Yahshua when these things would take place and what would be the sign of His coming and of the end of the age (Matthew 24:3). Yahshua explains that there would be many false messiahs who would come and who would claim to be authentic (Matthew 24:5). They would be deceptive and appealing, and many would be fooled by them. There would be wars and rumors of wars (Matthew 24:6). Nations would rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there would even be famines and earthquakes (Matthew 24:7). While all that would be alarming and even terrifying, Yahshua encouraged them that those things would not signify the end; they were only the beginning of sorrows.
