Luke 17:24 For as the lightning, that comes out of one part under heaven, shines unto the other part under heaven; so, shall also the Son of man be in his day. 26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
The signs are all around us, there is no denial, even persons in the secular realm are alarmed at the way things are going on planet earth. As Christians, we have heard over and over again, from our youth up, that Jesus is coming soon. And because of the lapse of time the climactic event might have slipped from our view, and we may have become desensitized by the daily onslaught of bad news.
But now, the time has come for us to take a second hard look at those prophecies pointing to His return, since almost everything that has been prophesied is being fulfilled, even as we speak. There is distress of nations for the nations are angry with each other, and there is much violence across the earth, there is intransigence among members of congress, who seem to be at sword’s point on every issue, and there is corruption in high and low places.
But that’s not all, there is perversion of the marriage institution, there is perversion of the Sabbath, and there is the plague of illegal drugs, taking a daily toll on millions across the world. Then there are famines and pestilences, food and water shortages and wars and rumors of wars.
Matthew 24:6 And you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that you be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
