We live in a chaotic world. The earth reels to and fro like a drunkard. (Isaiah 24:20) The prophecies of Jesus found in Matthew 24 are now our daily reality.  Yet Jesus calls us to remain calm, "See that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows." (Matthew 24:6-8)
