Betrayal is at an all-time high. Throughout the land, people are vying for the brass ring. They will stop at nothing to get what they want. Brother is turning against brother. Mother is turning against daughter. My Words are coming to pass with an astounding thud.
Luke 12:52-53 Not Peace, But Division From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
Matthew 10:21-23 Easy-to-Read Version
21 “Brothers will turn against their own brothers and hand them over to be killed. Fathers will hand over their own children to be killed. Children will fight against their own parents and will have them killed. 22 Everyone will hate you because you follow me. But the one who remains faithful to the end will be saved.
My people, called by My name, must at all costs stay close to the cross. The time of Peter’s denial of My Son is upon the church. Everlasting kindness has disappeared, and rebellion has taken its place.
Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial Matthew 26: 33-35 Peter said to Him, “Even if all fall away on account of You, I never will.” 34“Truly I tell you,” Jesus declared, “ this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” 35Peter replied, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the other disciples said the same thing.…

Joel 2:1-2 NIV: “Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy hill. Let all who live in the land tremble, for the day of the Lord is coming. It is close at hand—a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness. Like dawn spreading across the mountains, a large and mighty army comes, such as never was in ancient times nor ever will be in ages to come.”
Joel’s call in 2:1-2 resonates as a timeless exhortation to vigilance, repentance, and recognition of divine sovereignty.
