Mark 13:7 And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. This must take place, but the end is not yet.
Jesus is letting us know from about 2,000 years ago in the past. Wars and rumors of wars will happen before He returns. The point is not to create “Fear Porn”. Christ is telling us, “do not be alarmed.“
The Greek word for alarmed is θροέω / throeó. The word can also be translated as: disturbed, troubled, agitated.
Are wars awful, yes. Bloodshed and death are currently happening and escalating.
We are trending towards the end. There is no need for drama or confusion. We are told wars and rumors of war are coming so we can know “the end is not yet.“

Sweden, NATO, & Russia…
Carl-Oskar Bohlin, Sweden’s Civil Defense Minister, advised citizens to “brace for war”.
“For a nation for whom peace has been a pleasant companion for almost 210 years, the idea that it is an immovable constant is conveniently close at hand. But taking comfort in this conclusion has become more dangerous than it has been for a very long time,” Carl-Oskar Bohlin.
With the news, Swedes are prepping and buying supplies.

Ecuador…
Newly elected President Daniel Noboa has effectively declared war on drug gangs in Ecuador.
Noboa took office in November touting his ‘Phoenix Plan’ for security, including a new intelligence unit, tactical weapons for security forces, new high-security prisons and reinforced security at ports and airports.

Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Ethiopia and the United Arab Emirates have joined the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa).
For those who are counting, that is 10 member nations. Is this the 10 nation group mentioned in Daniel and Revelation? I doubt it. This group is looking to expand. There are many others who are looking to join the BRICS club.
