Family targeted in mass shooting that left 5 dead in Illinois, police say

This tragic mass shooting exemplifies the increasing violence and upheaval characteristic of the end times. Daniel 12:1 and Matthew 24:37-39 describe escalating turmoil and violence ('days of Noah') as signs preceding Christ's return. While individual violent crimes occur throughout history, the modern proliferation of mass casualty events reflects the 'birth pangs' of the end times.
