PROPHETIC EXPOSITION: SIGNS OF HIS COMING.

"WHAT SHALL BE THE SIGNS OF THY COMING.."
THE CHURCH AGE (DISPENSATION) IS CLOSE TO THE END.

And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down(Matthew 24:1,2). Jesus prophesied the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem that took place in 70 A.D. Looking back in time to the fulfillment of that prophesy should let you know that all Jesus said would happen will take place.

               

The twenty-fourth chapter of Matthew, describing not only the destruction of the temple but also the second and third appearances of Christ, has intrigued and puzzled people throughout the ages. This penetrating prophecy of Jesus reaches down into the hour we now live in, and is being fulfilled in our day.

Two Important Questions

( Mathew 24:3)

And as he [Jesus] sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world (Matthew 24:3)? Here the disciples are asking Jesus two questions: what would be the sign of His coming and when the end would be. They already knew about His first appearance—they were witnessing it every day—and they wanted to know about the other two. He must have discussed His future comings with the disciples, for they seemed to have knowledge of them.

Signs of His coming precede the second appearance, the Rapture. At this appearance Jesus won’t come all the way to Earth, but the Bride will be caught up to Him by the power of the Holy Ghost. We which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds,to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord (I Thessalonians 4:15-17).

At His third appearance, Jesus will end the Battle of Armageddon, bringing to a close affairs on Earth as we know them today. Keep in mind, in this chapter the Lord is talking about two different appearances of Jesus, His second and third with their signs following. Not being able to separate the two has confused some people.

FIRST SIGN: DECEPTION

"FOR MANY SHALL COME IN MY NAME"

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."

The rate of deception is alarming in this our time, in some part of the nation some are claiming to be the Christ, drawing thousands of believers, The Lord is warning of the deceiving doctrines to come. In our day as well as down through the years, many false doctrines have been put forth.

Jesus warned us of false Christ and many shepherds that will come in his name, they shall be many and shall deceive many. TAKE HEED AND DON'T BE DECEIVED.

SECOND SIGN: WARS, FAMINE, DISEASES AND EARTHQUAKE.

Matthew 24:6-8 "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: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places."

"All these are the beginning of sorrows."

   

These are the four endtime  global weapons of Satan he uses to increase the rate of death, turning the heart of men against God, when food is taken away from men they become Beast, in the whole world there is economic crash, everyone is trying to survive by all means necessary.

Almost in all nations of the world there is war going on..

Today We have increasing numbers of earthquake in 

Japan, chile, indonesia, south africa, india, italy, nepal, califonia ,new zealand etc

We have the highest records of killer diseases like, 

 Cirrhosis, Tuberculosis, AIDs, Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, EBOLA, etc.

The beginning of these sorrows are signs of the second appearance of Jesus. Famines rage in different parts of the world; deadly earthquakes and those of lesser intensity are frequently in the news. Killer storms bring great havoc. AIDS is on the rise world-wide. Other diseases have broken out in epidemic form in various places. Many trials and disasters go into the beginning of sorrows, the beginning of the suffering, hearthache and despair that is coming on the earth.

Jesus, in Luke 21:26, describes a time of men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth. People oppressed by world conditions will be stricken with heart attacks.

God’s people are not to be troubled over the signs of the age. Our concern must be for the harvest of souls, the lost. Wars and rumors of wars can never be allowed to take precedence over the task God has entrusted to us: winning the lost. Let nothing steal that goal out of your heart, mind and thoughts. Seeing the signs come to pass that Jesus talks of in this chapter, we know the end is drawing near. #AustinChinedu.
