Familiarity with Scripture reveals many rhythms and patterns. We see it when Christ retraces the steps of Israel. We see it when the prayers of the prophets go up to heaven, and heaven answers by throwing calamity back down to the earth. We see it when one world is destroyed, and another takes its place. We see it when empires rise up and are torn back down. We see it when God uses His enemies as a rod of discipline against His own people, and we see it whenever a great shaking comes to sort, purify, and redirect the people of God towards their proper aim. The fact that the specific prophecies of Matthew 24 have indeed played out as our Lord said they would gives us confidence, but our task is not complete until we are able to interpret our own circumstances through the lens of redemptive history. Application becomes natural when we are people of the Word. When our time of shaking comes, we know what to do; resist those who would lead us astray, endure to the end, and kill the sin which will make our love grow cold.
