The Signs of the End TimesBible Truth for the End Times

See our new the signs of the end times website.

The signs of the end times show us that the earth has reached the last days. Rebellion against God is all around us. Scientists are doing their best to convince us that the earth "evolved" from nothing and there is no God. God's eternal law, the ten commandments, are being discarded. Not just by those outside the faith, but also by those who profess to be Christians! Governments are now permitting all sorts of immorality, including abortion, same sex marriage and many other vices. We are surely living in the end of the world and the second coming of Christ Jesus is but a moment away! Please get ready! The following are end time signs from the Bible

Please see Why all the Disasters to make sense of all this.

Please also see In the Last Days and 6000 Year Timeline for more signs that we are living in the end times.

Matthew 24:4-5,11 ...'And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.'

So one of the signs of the end times is that many false christ's will appear. The problem here is that not only do they appear, but Jesus confirms that they will deceive many. We've had many false prophets coming in Jesus name and deceiving thousands, people like Jim Jones and David Koresh with various cults like, 'Heaven's Gate' cult, the 'Peoples Temple' cult which led nearly 1000 people to death in Guyana. There are also many Bible believing cults, New Age cults, Spiritualist cults, Satanic cults, all sorts that lead many people astray. And why are people deceived by these cults? Because they don't study the Bible for themselves and allow God to teach them the truth of His Word. Today, we have many false preachers and prophets like the leaders of the prosperity gospel movement and the healing movement, like Joel Osteen, Creflo Dollar, Benny Hinn, etc etc, who are leading millions astray!! But Satan may leave His biggest deception right to the end of time, when he impersonates Christ himself. So many people are going to be deceived by this, but if you hold on to the Bible truth about the second coming of Christ, then you will not be deceived by satan.

Matthew 24:6-7 ...'And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.'

War is another sign of the end times. There have been well over 200 wars and conflicts during the past 100 years, and more people have been killed by warfare during the past century than in any other. And with TV news, we now see wars, violence and conflicts being fought all over the world every day. It says in Genesis 6:11 ...'The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.' ... God destroyed the earth by flood back in Noah's day, because it was filled with hate and violence. The earth is now filled with hate and violence again, and God will once again destroy this earth soon when Jesus returns, but this time with fire!

Matthew 24:7 ...'and there shall be famines.'

We all know of the sadness of the food shortage in Africa. Many people are dying everyday in Africa, and the sad thing is, as these people die because they haven't got enough food, the rest of us live in comfort and luxury, but we still find things to grumble about. The appalling amount of food that is wasted in the western world could feed the hungry. Does that bother you? It should do! This food shortage isn't limited to Africa though. Many people all over the world are suffering from mal-nutrition. Maybe there is someone in need near you! See helping the poor and needy for more info on how to serve Christ Jesus by helping the poor.

Matthew 24:7 ...'and pestilences.'

Let me give you some statistics about HIV/AIDS from 2009. Over 22 Million people have died from AIDS. Over 42 Million people are living with HIV/AIDS. There are 14,000 new infections everyday. (source: www.until.org). And now we have this bird flu spreading around the world. The diseases that this world suffers from is certainly one of the signs of the end times. Our sources of food are also being contaminated more and more.

Matthew 24:7 ...'and earthquakes, in divers places.'

The number and intensity of earthquakes has been increasing over the years. Check out http://earthquake.usgs.gov to see the information of earthquakes around the world. There is a whole lot of shaking going on in this world. Just look at this chart and notice the increase of earthquakes over the past few years. For a larger copy of the chart, just click on the image.

Matthew 24:9-10 ...'Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.'

The early Christian church was persecuted and many Christians killed at the hands of the Romans. But we find the biggest amount of bloodshed for God's people during the reign of the Roman Catholic Church between 538 - 1798. During this time it is estimated that over 50 million Christians were slaughtered because they would not bow down to Papal authority. (Please note that this estimate is a conservative one). This great persecution will rise again before the end time during the great tribulation. Be ready to give your life for the Lord Jesus Christ. Today, many people in countries like Israel, China, Africa, Russia and Muslim countries are being killed for their faith in Jesus.

Matthew 24:12 ...'And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.'

Take a look around you. Do you see a world abounding in sin? This is surely a sign of the end time. The great principle of marriage that God instituted at creation has been cast down in these end times. There are millions upon millions of babies being born out of wedlock, and the current divorce rate in the developed world is between 40-50% of those married. How about violence? Sex? Homosexuality? Greed? This world is aching under the burden of sin, and God will not allow it to carry on much longer.

2 Timothy 3:1-5 ...'This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.'

Wow! This one is a BIG sign of the times we live in. Do I really need to add anything to this? These verses perfectly describe the world we live in today. These sure are the last days! But notice one thing; It says that people will be lovers of PLEASURE more than lovers of God, and that they will SEEM Godly, but denying the power of God through their worldly living. This unfortunately is the state of the professing Christian world today! Which is why we are trying to wake the professing church up through our worship God website.

Daniel 12:4 ...'even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.'

Look at how knowledge has increased over the past 50 years with technology. There has never been an increase in knowledge like the past 50 years. It has happened at such a quick rate over a short space of time. But not only that, knowledge of God's truth has increased during recent years. The truth of Bible prophecy has been opened up like never before.

Matthew 24:14 ...'And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.'

This is my favorite sign of the end times. Do you know why? Because it is the only one where Jesus says 'AND THEN THE END SHALL COME'. This gospel message is being spread like the wind across the face of the earth with Missions, Radio, TV, Books, and the Internet. We must be so close to the good news of Christ being preached to the whole world. The end of the world is near my friend, Jesus will return soon, very soon.

******************

Friend, do not be deceived by the many false doctrines and teachings in the world. Study the Bible for yourself. Prove the things you have been told. Check the fruits of those who claim to be people of God. Follow Jesus with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. There is great tribulation coming upon this world for any true follower of Christ, but as Jesus said ... Matthew 24:13 ...'But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.' ... Endure and you shall be saved. The above are signs of the end times, but there are more things to come before the end of time:

Union of Church and State in America (See America in Bible Prophecy)

The Mark of the Beast (See Mark of the Beast)

The Great Tribulation (See Battle of Armageddon)

AND THEN: THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST JESUS

Fix your mind on Jesus, study the Bible, search for the truth, know the signs of the end times and trust in your Heavenly Father.
