At the end of days, before the coming of the Messiah, God will take a rope, a “rope of faith” – and stretch it around the world. Many a man will attempt to grab that hang and hang on to it.
However, God will appoint two angels to hold the rope at both ends, instructing them to shake it violently as the days of the Messiah draw near. It will become increasingly difficult to maintain a grasp on the rope, and as the years go by, many will slip and fall. I am telling you this, my brothers, so that those living at that time will know, and take heed.
