Signs Of Jesus Return!

When Jesus was on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came up to Him and ask, "what will be the sign of your coming, and the end of the age?" Jesus gave them different signs to watch for and to be prepared.

[SIGNS OF HIS COMING]
Matthew; 24:4-5
(And Jesus answered and said to them; "Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many.)
We have seen some of this in the last few years. (David Koresh) at Waco. (Jim Jones) The People's Temple. This is to name just a couple. There has been many more, and Jesus said to watch out for the deceivers who say they are Him.

Matthew; 24:6
(And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.)
We are living this in our present age, but it will escalate toward the end.
2Timothy; 3:13
(But evil men and imposters will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.)
All a person has to do is read the paper and you will see that our society has grown worse. Our morals are almost non-existent.

Matthew; 24:7-8
(For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All of these are the beginning of sorrows.)
Once again, just look at the present world. If you are honest with yourself, you cannot deny that we are living this right now.

Matthew; 24:9-10
(Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake. And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.)
Look at how these other so called religions hate Christians. Christians are persecuted around world every day.

Matthew; 24:11
(Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.)
We have many so called people who claimed to be a modern day prophet and they prophesied that some event would take place and it did not happen. This is a false prophet. Look at the different cults that have prophesied future events and they didn't happen. Once again these are false prophets.

Matthew; 24:12
(And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.)
Crime, divorce, murder's, child molesters, lack of mercy, homosexuality just to name a few. The morals of Americans has gotten worse over the last 50 years to the point that we have hardened our hearts against God.

You might ask what are we to do about all of this. We need to tell others about Jesus and what He has done for us. There is no hope in any other name. Tell them that Jesus died for them on the cross so that through His death they might have life eternal. Tell them that God loves then and doesn't want anyone to perish.

Matthew; 24:13
(But he who endures to the end shall be saved.)
The ones who persevere are the ones who are saved-not the ones whose love grows cold. This does not suggest that our perseverance secures our salvation. God, as part of His saving work, secures our perseverance. True believers are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation.
1Peter; 1:1-5
(Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.)

I pray that this is your hope too. Jesus has done it all to save us from an eternity separated from God. He gave His life on the cross for you and me. The free gift of life is from God to those who believe on his name and put their faith in Him. There is no other way to heaven but through Jesus.
John; 3:16
(For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.)
Put your faith in Jesus today. We don't know the exact time of His return, but we do know that every day it gets closer. It could be any day, don't wait.

God Bless you!
