How To Tell When Time Is Near Of Jesus' Return

Welcome back to Sudden Fire Impact.
OK so i have to say something/ confess i haven't been studying like i should have. I hope all of you would forgive me of this.
We are going to be talking about the signs before the return of Jesus Christ. Now i know that it may not be for a few years or 20 or 50 yrs but i though it would be good to discuss all of this so when u do start to see these thing you would know how far we are into the prophecy which is the whole book of Revelations but through out the gospels we find in Matt , Luke, and Mark section of information about the end of times.
Lets Dig into Gods word!

Signs to look for :

1. Nations against nations

Mark 13:8

8Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.

2. Antichrist

Matt 24:4-5/ 1 john 2:18 / 1 john 4:3/ 2 john 1:7

Jesus is warning us of the antichrist because as u can see below as the scripture goes on he also warns us of people coming in his name that is not from him or of him!!!!! & Jesus wants all of us Christians to be a where of what is going to come so that we don’t get deceived.

4Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you. 5For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ, and will deceive many.

To make it clearer God is telling us that this is one of the signs that will be shown in the last days. But this is just one of the 9 signs tho.

18Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.

To more fully understand this scripture below look at the last scripture on this subject.

3but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.

7Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.

3. False teachers / False Prophets

Mark 13:22

We have to be on our guard when false teachers & prophets start to perform signs & miracles just to deceive people thinking this is of God !!! We have to guard our hearts & pray & ask God if this is really of him so it could be God then it could not that’s why I would urge you if u see signs & wonders to pray & ask God if that is really him or not.

22For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and miracles to deceive the elect—if that were possible.

4. Storms / Disasters that doesn't happen in a specific state or region
( like tornadoes are usually in Texas - the tornado valley)

Luke 21:11 Luke 21:25

When you start seeing storms or disasters in places where they don’t usually take place than that is a sign( & another sign of Jesus Christ return) just like it says in Luke 21:25

11There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.

25"There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea.

5. Sickness
Luke 21:11

You will see sickness in a state that wouldn’t spread – wouldn’t be a danger to these who lived out outside that one state but there will be sickness what would be globe wide. So I urge you to just think about praying over your food & drinks before chowing down on food & whatever u all drink.

11There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.

6. Famines

Mark 13:8 Luke 21:11

Famines could be a globe impact. But like it says in various places that could mean example Africa or China or in the USA states. Just keep an eye on these things. For when they start to show u would know that it wouldn’t been very long intill Jesus came back for all of us Christians.

8Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.

11There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.

7. Wars
Mark 13:7 Luke 21:9

This sign is well a highlighted Sign its like a electronic Sign that is well brighter then the rest of the signs if not all.

7When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.

9When you hear of wars and revolutions, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away."

8. Jerusalem

Luke 21:20
When there are armies all around Jerusalem that’s another sign of the times!

20"When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near.

9. Persecution
Luke 21:12-15 Rev 2:10

In the End times we ARE going to be persecuted but God has encouragement for us look at Rev 2:10 if we get persecuted to the point of death ( the key is to be faithful within this persecution) God will give us the crown of life!
Example of Persecution just look at what happen at columbine High school where that Gunman when onto the campus & remember that young lady ( student) in the library that the gunman approached her & told her to repronounce that Jesus Christ is King! Well she was faithful to the very end! She still inspires me to this veryday!Im impessed on how she handled the whole situation & stood up to the Gunman!!!

12"But before all this, they will lay hands on you and persecute you. They will deliver you to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name. 13This will result in your being witnesses to them. 14But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves. 15For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict

10Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life.

10. Betrayal

Luke 21:16 -19

we should be discerning at this point of time .( end times) If someone is betraying us we should be able to discern & pick that up right away! But like God is saying here ( even parents , brothers, relatives & friends) If it gets to the point of death god says that by standing firm you WILL gain life! Isn’t that awesome or what?

16You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers, relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death. 17All men will hate you because of me. 18But not a hair of your head will perish. 19By standing firm you will gain life.

If God has promised you something & didn't get it yet don't worry he will give it to you! We will be discussing this in the next time more in depth. Be Blessed
