Global unrest and revolutions are intensifying worldwide, with recent events in Ukraine, Venezuela, Thailand, and Egypt highlighting this troubling trend. These conflicts mirror Jesus Christ's prophecy about increasing wars and strife before His return (Matthew 24:6-7).

Key areas of conflict include:

• Ukraine: Anti-government protests led to President Yanukovych's flight and Russian military involvement in Crimea
• Venezuela and Thailand: Experiencing intense civil unrest
• Egypt: Multiple revolutions resulting in government changes
• Syria: Ongoing civil war claiming 130,000 lives and displacing 6.5 million people
• Central African Republic: Religious fighting causing 2,000 deaths and displacing over 1 million

This unprecedented frequency of revolutions echoes the historic Year of Revolution (1848), but today's scale is even more significant. According to biblical prophecy, these conflicts herald greater tribulations ahead, with potential casualties reaching billions (Revelation 9:15-18).

However, the Bible offers hope and protection for those who follow God's commands:

• Stay away from dangerous areas
• Seek divine protection (Psalm 91:5-11, 14)
• Keep the 10 Commandments (Revelation 3:10; 14:12)
• Watch world events and pray for protection (Luke 21:36)

These events align with prophecies about the end times, culminating in Jesus Christ's return to prevent human extinction (Matthew 24:22, Revelation 19:11, 19). Understanding these prophecies helps us prepare for and potentially receive protection during these turbulent times.
