God chose Moses to be his leader of His people before the foundations of the earth and was fashioning and forming him throughout his first 80 years on earth. But now He is ready to formally commission Him to be the Hebrews’ leader and deliverer, and for Moses to be able to aptly respond to that, he must know the God with whom He is dealing. And the first thing God wants Him to know is that He is holy.

What we do know about these signs is they will be way beyond anything we have seen or known before, and will thus cause great dismay and perplexity among all the nations. And strong, tough, self made men will faint from fear as a result.

Jesus rarely ever speaks of end times events without speaking of the kind of godly character and responses necessary to rightly handle such information. The enemy of our souls would have us be mesmerized with the details of the events, ignoring the ethical responses that must accompany the information.
