On a similar note I came across this a few days ago, “What is our attitude towards these latter days? Surely not one of fear, and anxiety and confusion. No. Jesus’ admonition to us was, that we ascend upon our housetop, meaning an altitude of understanding, and not come down. He said in connection with this prophecy, ‘In your patience possess ye your souls,’ and ‘There shall not an hair of your head perish.’ Jesus’ promise for these troublous times was, ‘Then shall they see the Son of Man coming in a cloud of great glory.’ He also left for us the scientific admonition, ‘And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads (understanding), for your redemption draweth nigh.’ Yes, we have the unfailing assurance of rest and deliverance from what seems to be upheaval and disaster.” From Addresses by Martha Wilcox
