“What in the world is happening?“

There are many warnings in The Bible about the ‘LAST TIMES’. The Lord Jesus Christ Himself talked about various happenings, being the ‘beginning of sorrows’. We are also told, that this world will not last forever, but we do: we have an eternity to face in one of two places, and whilst one is too wonderful to describe, the other is too awful to contemplate. We need to be right with God, as the Apostle Paul said to the Philippian jailor, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved’’ Acts 16:31. Elsewhere, “whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved’’ (Bible references: Matt 24; 1 Timothy 4; 2 Timothy 3; Hebrews 12:25-27. All available at Bible Gateway)
