End of the world, when is it going to happen? How is it going to happen, and what is going to happen?
Let’s us first start at the beginning. We need to look at the Bible prophecies so that we will know ehat the signs of the end times are.
The Bible does not give us an exact date of the end of times, and it says that no one will know except God, the Father.
Matthew 24:36 “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but the Father only.”
So never listen to false preacher who say, “I just go a prophecy of the exact date and time.” Don’t believe it. They are false prophets. No one will know, but what we will know is the signs. So we can discern when the end time are coming are coming close by looking at the signs.
Matthew 24:3 “As He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us what will be the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age?” And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. For many will come in My name, saying, “I am Christ”, and they will lead many astray.”
The first thing that Jesus says will happen is, that there will be many people who will claim to be Him. The christ, the Messiah and there’s been a lot of them already.
19th century 6 people who claimed to be Jesus
1. John Nichols
2. Arnold Potter
Jones Very
4. Baha’u’llah
5. William W. Davies
6. Mirza Gulam Ahmad
In 20th century, these people who claim to be Jesus, or the reincarnation of Jesus, grows around 30. And right now, we hear about it all over the world. Like the cult leader who was arrested in Russia, the one in Brazil, and even in South Africa, a man claimed to be the black Jesus.
I know, it’s crazy. But what’s even crazier is that people actually, some of them believe them and follow them.
Matthew 24:6 “And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet.”
You will hear of war and rumors of war. We humans are, our sinful nature, pride, lust, greed, all of these things will always lead to war. And according to the New York Times, out of the past 3400 years, we have only been at peace for 268 of them. That’s just 8 percent of recorded history and at least 108 million people were killed in wars in the 20th century. And an estimated 150 million to one 1 billion died in wars throughout all human history.
Think about the First World War, the second world war, and then there are many wars that we don’t even know about. At the beginning of 2003, there were not just one or two wars but 30 wars going on around the world. These included conflicts in Afghanistan, Algeria, Burundi, china, Colombia, the Congo, India, Indonesia, Israel, Iraq, Liberia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Russia, Somalia, Sudan, and Uganda. And do you know we, Christians are the most persecuted religion in the world? More than 70 million Christians have been murdered because of their faith since the time of Jesus and when one to speak to some people, you will be shock, they don’t know what happen in the past. But it will actually more shocking that there are many Christians who are still being murdered today.
11 Christians are killed for their faith in the top 50 countries ranked on the world watch list, according to open doors. And apart from this, apart from all the wars, take a look at the crime rate all over the world. War is defined as an active conflict that has claimed more than a thousand lives, and in South Africa, over 21,000 people were murdered in 2020 and it is getting worse.
It can be scary when you truly look at the world for what it is, but remember Jesus said “do not be alarmed.”
