The Beginning of the End ?

The richness of Man is his inner heart which may bring him to God. In Matthew 6, Jesus says: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." (Matthew 6: 21).
In September The United States and North Korea threatened each other with annihilation when North Korea tested a range of long-range missiles that fell over Japan. The corrupt Communist regime in North Korea continues to provide weapons and technical assistance to Iran and countries in the Middle East, and Africa according to Bruce Bechtol; professor of security studies at Angelo State University while the United States air force has been carrying out joint-drills with South Korea's near North Korea according to New York Times.
In November, Catholic News Agency published a report that Fr. Thomas Weinandy, a member of the Vatican's International Theological Commission, has resigned his position as a consultant to the U.S. College of Catholic Bishops Committee on Doctrine following the publication of a letter to Pope Francis in which he asked the Pope to correct "the chronic confusion" of his pontificate "which fosters within the faithful a growing unease..." In the letter, Fr. Weinandy complains in the letter that Pope Francis "diminished the importance of doctrine in the Church's life, appointed bishops who teach and act in harmful ways, fostered a culture of fear among bishops, The full article can be read here. This is not the first protest that the first Jesuit pope received. It is well known that traditionalists (among them the so-called Dubia) backed many faithful who had already found his authoritative exhortations to be vague...Pope Francis was particularly criticized for inviting Muslims to increase in Europe thus increasingly adding to the vulnerability of the Christian presence in Europe...The Pope does not seem to recognize the Christian role in the foundation of Europe as we know it today. Above all, says the Jesuit scholar Fr. Henri Boulad, while Muslims in Western Europe preach their religion uninterrupted, Christians seem to be marginalized by the State for the so-called Islamophobia.
Persecution of Christians continues in Islamic countries in spite of declaring war on Islamic terrorism..In Egypt, where its president al-Sisi attempts to reconcile Muslims and Christians, al-Azhar was able to prosecute anyone who questions its "dogmatic" Islamic Sharia!
But in the first few days of December 2017, the president of the United States declared that he intends to move the American embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. His show-off act has triggered condemnations from the entire Islamic world, and more-over opposition from the EU, Russia,China, and most of America's allies. Another insight is Trump's decision to allow Israel upon unifying Jerusalem under Israel's sole statehood to effectively build the Third Temple. The Second Temple was destroyed by Titus in the year 70 AD. Is it yet the beginning of the end??

Is it yet the beginning of the end:The Anti-Christ? The Divisions in the world nuclear-threats and within the Church? Or is it the Second Coming of Christ, which according to Teilhard de Chardin, S.J. the "Cosmic Christ"?

Regardless of which country threatens another, who divides, and who fights who, let Christians pray for hope and peace that come from Christ and remain with us by the power of His Spirit. In these days our hearts need the hope and peace of Christ "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."said Christ (Matthew 6: 21).
