This evening, join me as Jesus describes the most hopeless moment in our planet’s future; the moment when life is heading toward complete extinction. This moment is somewhere near the end of the Tribulation. That is where Jesus takes us in
Matthew 24:21-22 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.
Hopelessness means the place where there is no more future possible.
Hopelessness is when any hopes are extinguished, and life goes out like an ember.
The dictionary tells us—
having no expectation of good or success: DESPAIRING
b: not susceptible to remedy or cure
c: incapable of redemption or improvement
2 a: giving no ground for hope: DESPERATE
b: incapable of solution, management, or accomplishment: IMPOSSIBLE
synonym see DESPONDENT
– hope·less·ness noun
Jesus presents the ultimate hopeless moment for the world. A time so bad there is nothing ahead but oblivion.
In the end, food will be scarce, un-poisoned water will be difficult to find, and the air will be laced with death—but the worst part of this moment is that all hope will be gone.
