A seven-year-old daughter was thrilled when her family took her to Disney World for the first time, and she headed straight for Space Mountain. Her mother worried that the roller coaster would be too scary for her, but to her delight they rode it twice.
The next year when the same family returned to Disney World, the daughter, now eight, again dragged her parents to Space Mountain.
As they stood in line though, her mom could see her soberly studying the signs that warned about the ride's speed.
"Mom," she said, "I don't think I want to go."
"Why?" her mother asked. "You enjoyed this ride last time."
"I know," the daughter replied, "But this year I can read better!"
Do the signs of the times cause you concern?
And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. -Matthew 24:6
