When we read the headlines, it’s not hard to see our world is on a downward slide. Political tensions are rising, natural disasters, and diseases are Escalating. More and more professed believers seem to falling away from the faith in God. It has caused many people to wonder if these events are part of biblical prophecy.
I can tell you with certainty that we are closer to the Rapture and the Tribulation than ever before. Even as the world hurtles toward earth’s Last Days, we can alway find hope in God’s Word.
The Sign Of Deceit:
We can see many people being deceived today. Galatians tells us that “we reap what we sow. The one who sows to his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.”
The Sign Of Nation Against Nation:
We can see nations rising against nations. Matthew 24: 7-8 says “For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there will be famines (food in short supply), and pestilence (disease ), and earthquake, in diverse places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.
The Sign of Devastation:
Along with the deception and disputes the Last Days, there will be Devastation. We live in a day when we can scarcely turn on the television without seeing someone trying to raise money to feed the hungry. Even though God has blessed us with a fruitful abundant planet, millions of people in the world has food insecurity and scarcity.
Since Covid, there has been a global awareness of our vulnerability to novel diseases but it isn’t the only our outbreak in our world today. It’s everywhere.
We are also seeing an increase in the frequency and intensity of natural disasters, major snowstorms, flooding, and earthquakes shake the world about once a month while from 1900 – 1969, there were roughly six major earthquakes every 10 years. All of these devastating trends are signs the point to the imminent return of Christ.
The Sign of Deliverance into Tribulation
In the Last Days, there will be an explosion of antagonism toward God’s people. People will want nothing to do with God, they will want to cast all belief away from them. Matthew 24:9 says, “Then they will deliver you up the tribulation and kill you, you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. We are already seeing evidence of this today. Headlines carry stories about Christian business owners who are expected to set aside their beliefs in support of secular progressive ideals. Or the education system is teaching racism, and hate and that’s in okay for children to become cats, or change their gender at will. Everywhere we look, Belief in God is under attack.
As the tribulation approaches, many will pay a high price for living their faith in our world. But the alternative is much worse.
