"But You Cannot Bear Them Now"

Fr. Matthias Shehad explores the question of the end times and the signs of Christ’s coming as recorded in Scripture. He explains why Christ does not reveal the exact timing of the end or all the trials believers will face, emphasizing that God reveals His plan gradually because we cannot bear the full truth all at once. Fr. Matthias highlights biblical examples such as Moses, Joseph, and Gideon to illustrate how God prepares His people step by step through trials and challenges, strengthening their faith along the way. He discusses how spiritual growth often involves difficult experiences that deepen reliance on God rather than on human understanding. The message encourages viewers to trust in God’s timing, discern the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and prepare continually for the inevitable end by embracing faith and perseverance, knowing that God’s ultimate goal is to lead us into His presence.
