Wars and Rumors of Wars

Matthew 24:6-7 states, "You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come." Current global conflicts and tensions, such as the ongoing war in Syria and the North Korea nuclear crisis, align with this prophecy. As Christians, we must remain vigilant and not be alarmed by these events.

Natural Disasters

Luke 21:11 states, "There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven." Recent natural disasters, such as Hurricane Harvey and the earthquake in Mexico, align with this prophecy. As Christians, we must pray for those affected by these disasters and be prepared for future events.

False Prophets and Deception

Matthew 24:11 states, "Many false prophets will appear and deceive many people." In modern times, we have seen examples of false prophets and religious deception, such as the Jim Jones cult and the prosperity gospel movement. As Christians, we must be discerning and seek truth in God's word.

Increase in Wickedness and Immorality

2 Timothy 3:1-5 states, "But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God." Societal trends towards immorality and wickedness, such as the legalization of same-sex marriage and the rise of pornography, align with this prophecy. As Christians, we must stand firm in our faith and resist temptation.

Persecution of Christians

Matthew 24:9 states, "Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me." Current persecution of Christians around the world, such as in North Korea and the Middle East, align with this prophecy. As Christians, we must pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters and be prepared to face persecution ourselves.

Signs in the Heavens

Luke 21:25-26 states, "There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken." Recent astronomical events, such as the solar eclipse and the blood moon, align with this prophecy. As Christians, we must not be afraid, but rather trust in God's sovereignty.

The Rebuilding of the Temple

Daniel 9:27 states, "He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.' In the middle of the 'seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him." There are current efforts to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem, which align with this prophecy. As Christians, we must be aware of these events and pray for God's will to be done.

In conclusion, the 7 biblical signs we have explored align with current global events and indicate that the Apocalypse is approaching. However, we must remember that the timing of the Apocalypse is unknown and we should not be consumed by fear. Instead, we should seek spiritual preparation and trust in God's plan for our lives.
