Two explosions went off near the finish line of the Boston Marathon on Monday, killing at least two and injuring about 100, including 10 who suffered amputations, according to the Boston Globe. 

Authorities discovered two more explosive devices, which had not exploded and are being dismantled by experts.

A third explosion went off at the JFK Library in Boston, where fire officials said it has been linked to the marathon explosions.

A suspect was admitted to a nearby hospital with burns and is under guard. He is reportedly a 20-year-old Saudi Arabian national. He was taken into custody less than two hours after the bombs went off, at around 2:50 pm, reported WND.

At two locations on Boylston Street, where the Boston Marathon took place and where the explosions went off, people fell, suffered death and injuries. Some appeared to have lost limbs and others fell unconscious.

A spectator, who gave his name as John Ross, said, "Somebody's leg flew by my head. I gave my belt to stop the bleeding."

Jackie Bruno, a reporter for New England Cable News, said on Twitter that she saw people's legs blown off.  "Runners were coming in and saw unspeakable horror," she said.

The Word of God tells us that perilous times will come in the latter days, "This know that in the last days perilous times shall come" 2 Timothy 3:1.

We are living in the last days, let there be no mistake about it. In the last of the last days, terrorism will be quelled only temporarily, for the Bible also says, "When they say, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction shall come upon them, as travail upon a woman with child and they shall not escape" 1 Thessalonians 5:3.

The Bible tells us that the antichrist will come on the scene as a man of peace, but he will destroy many, "Through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many. He shall also stand up against the Prince of princes (Jesus), but he shall be broken without hand" Daniel 8:25.

In Daniel's day, no one understood the vision, because the angel Gabriel said it was to be "shut up for many days" (Daniel 8:26-27). However, as thousands of years have passed and now that we are living in the last days, we can not only determine what God was showing Daniel, but we can also more accurately decipher the Book of Revelation, which is the interpretation and continuation of Daniel's visions.

A "man of peace" will truly come and disarm the nations, but after the weapons of the people have been confiscated, you can mark these words, "sudden destruction will come."

You may be asking if there is any hope at all then, and the answer is, Yes, absolutely yes!  Our hope is in the soon coming "Prince of princes," our Savior, Jesus Christ, who will return and destroy the works of the antichrist and the wicked and set up His righteous kingdom on earth.
