There are many prophesies found in the Bible about the coming of Jesus that is coming true today. God is preparing for the coming of the Lord, and it could come at any moment. Jesus will bring those that are saved out of the world to Heaven, and for those that are not saved, they will be left behind on Earth to endure the tragedies of the tribulation, a seven year period of horror. Fortunately, God gave us these prophesies in the Bible in order to be knowledgeable of the events leading up to Jesus' coming, and here are a few:
1) War: (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:"
We are surely seeing a lot of terror and strife between nations in this period of time. There are thousands of terrorists acts and rumors of them. ISIS is a very unfortunate example of this, seeing that they kill thousands of innocent people, and continue to grow.
2) Earthly Disturbances: (Matthew 24:7) "And there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows."
There are a lot of weather disasters that are occurring, and predicted to occur. In California, droughts has caused a huge outbreak in fires, and a horrific mudslide is predicted to occur once rain does come. Earthquakes are also prevalent there, and they are beginning to happen in places that have never happened before.
3) False Followers: (Matthew 24:4-5) "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."
We see people that are falsely living for God everyday. There are thousands of people that will say they are saved, but they are living a very sinful life. Many today think they are alright with God because they have lived a "good" life, but this couldn't be further from the truth. None is "good," which is why we have Jesus who will take our sins away.
5) Deceivers in High Places: (Matthew 24:11) "And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many."
Politicians, actors, singers, and even preachers, are deceiving many people today. People that have a lot of authority are saying they are of God, when in reality, they are of the devil. Politicians are telling us one thing, then doing something totally different, after we elect them. Some preachers are telling us that we can make it to Heaven by living a good life, but we can't. Actors and singers are saying that they are for God, but then they sing about sin, or act sinful on TV. These people are gaining such an influence in the world that they are having a bigger influence than God in peoples' minds.
6) Strong Delusion:(2 Thessalonians 2:11) "And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:"
Today, people believe everything is okay; abortion, gay marriage, premarital sex, using God's name in vain, porn, etc. They are being so deceived by worldly people that are being influenced by the devil. The devil has people in the world that he is using to deceive people into believing the lie that sin is okay. I've heard people say that premarital sex is okay, because God knows that they intend to get married. This is a lie because God does not condone sex before marriage at all. He says that sex is to be left for after marriage, no exceptions. More and more of this will come into the world as we get closer to the end of the world. God is allowing this because it is His prophecy that this would happen near the time of Jesus' coming.
For those that are saved, these prophesies are just another step to being with our God in Heaven, a land without deceit and terror. The world will continue to grow worse and worse, but with Jesus in our hearts and the hope for a better land, we as Christians can make the journey until the end. So, fall to your knees; possess the peace of God, and pray for those that are deceived. The world is coming to an end soon; be prepared to see Jesus.
