The best of times and the worst of times are ahead!
First, I suggest reading Isaiah chapters 1 through 6.
It is written by THE SPIRIT in Haggai chapter 2:
8 ‘The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,’ says the LORD of hosts.
9 ‘The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former,’ says the LORD of hosts. ‘And in this place I will give peace,’ says the LORD of hosts.”
A close friend buys a silver coin or two every month, no matter what the price.
It is written by THE SPIRIT in Jeremiah chapter 51:
7 Babylon was a golden cup in the LORD’s hand, That made all the earth drunk. The nations drank her wine; Therefore the nations are deranged.
8 Babylon has suddenly fallen and been destroyed. Wail for her! Take balm for her pain; Perhaps she may be healed.
Jesus spoke in Matthew 24:
4 Jesus answered, “At that time deception will run rampant. So beware that you are not fooled!
5 For many will appear on the scene claiming my authority or saying about themselves, ‘I am the Anointed One,’ and they will lead many astray.
6 “You will hear of wars and revolutions on every side, with more rumors of wars to come. Don’t panic or give in to your fears, for the breaking apart of the world’s systems is destined to happen. But it won’t yet be the end; it will still be unfolding.
7 “Nations will go to war against nations and kingdoms against kingdoms. And there will be terrible earthquakes, horrible epidemics, and famines in place after place.
8 This is how the birth pains of the new age will begin!”
