Rumors of Wars
Is the impact of World War III starting in Europe (Russia >< Ukaraine supported by NATO) getting more concerning? Will the rumours of war in the Asia-Pacific-Atlantic region between the two superpowers of the world (USA 'guard' of Taiwan vs China) explode?
At present breaking news follow each other about the signs of the times.

Famines
Global supply chain issues are another reason we see rising food prices, hence it is the primary reason why many grocery store shelves have gone bare.
Furthermore this has led to chaos for the manufacturers and distributors of goods who cannot produce or supply as much as they did pre-pandemic. The increase in demand due to containment and stockpiling plays a role including worker shortages and a lack of key components and raw materials.

Pestilences

Since March 2020, the world is currently still dealing with the aftermath of global outbreak COVID-19. The World Health Organization (WHO) advised the global citizen that this disease has the characteristics of a pandemic.

Some governments have restricted free movement and placed populations under lockdown to limit the spread of the pandemic.

Earthquakes
Jesus told us to watch for specific signs leading up to his return. These signs are "birth pangs" (Luke 21:9-11). When these signs "begin" to happen, we know our redemption is near. While this redemption is ultimately speaking of Israel at the 2nd Coming of Jesus, the "birth pangs" have already begun. In other words, as the "birth pangs" increase in frequency and intensity, we know that the Church's redemption at the rapture is that much sooner.
1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I write unto you. 2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction comes upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5 You are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 1Th 5:1-5

Scripture tells us to always be watching the signs of the times, and to be longing for Jesus' return to bring us home to heaven (Lu 21:25-28).
There is a crown of reward for those who long for His return (2Tim 4:8). His 'life' that he gave us, is not to be lived in fear, but to encourage each other by the signs as the Day of His return draws near.
At the same time to be faithful as steward and light to the world, wherever He put us in our vocation with the talent He gave us after we were saved through faith in Jesus.
Bear in mind that the Lord gives also strength to those Christians being persecuted or martyred for their faith around the world.
His Holy Spirit who is forever sealed believers will give them the strength they need.

Roadmap to the Future

The death of a true believer in Jesus Christ is not definitive, only the physical body dies. But at that very instant the spirit continues on as that precious Christian steps over from this life to Home Sweet Home in heaven to be with our precious Lord & Saviour; Jesus who loves us more than words can say.
