I am reflecting on the end of times, when things seem to be going from bad to worse.
That will be a time when many will lose hope, and wonder where God is, and why He is taking so long.
A scene from the Lord of the Rings movie (The Two Towers) came to mind.
Watch this, and be encouraged; when everything looks bleak, look to the east!
Keep looking, keep hoping, at the right time, in the right way, the sun of hope will rise, the final trumpet will sound, and the Lord will appear!
