It is true that the world has always been beset by an ever-increasing level of problems of this kind. Jesus was obviously aware of this fact; it is therefore fair to assume that he was speaking of a time when these problems would be so great that they would threaten to destroy the planet.
Ni kweli kwamba siku zote ulimwengu umekabiliwa na matatizo yanayongezeka ya aina hii. Ni bayana Yesu alijua ukweli huu; kwa hiyo ni halali kusadiki kuwa alikuwa anataja kwa wakati hapo shida hizi zitakapokuwa kubwa mno hata kutishia kuiharibu sayari.
