Signs of The End Time - Part 1

Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need to have anything written to you. For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief. For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness. —1 Thessalonians 5:1-5 (ESV)

These days, there are common words you hear like ‘we are in the end times’, ‘Jesus is coming back soon’, ‘Rapture is near’, and ‘The world is coming to an end’.

Questions people asked is when exactly is the end time and how will we know. Truth be said, nobody knows when the end of this world will come but there are signs we should watch out for to know that the beginning of the end has started. 

While most people are not bothered if we are living in the end time or not, believers also ought not to be bothered , rather we need to be watchful and pray

Let take a look at the signs:

1) The Signs of Nature

“…and there will be great earthquakes, and in various places plagues and famines; and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.” (Luke 21:11)

This category of signs has always been the least respected, even among believers. The mere mention of it usually evokes a sneer accompanied by the words, “Come on, what else is new? There have always been earthquakes and tornadoes and hurricanes.” But those who have this attitude forget that Jesus said the signs would be like “birth pangs” (Matthew 24:8). That means they will increase in frequency and intensity the closer we get to the Lord’s return. In other words, there will be more frequent natural disasters and more intense ones.

And that is exactly what has been happening. For example, the world has increasingly be experiencing large scale natural disaster and man-made disaster as well: places that are not known to have earthquake have been having and more has been predicted for new places. Flooding, Hurricane, Wind storms , fire accidents and many more are on the rise

And keep in mind that many more will happen. All these are not to scare you but to let you be aware that the beginning of the end has started. We ought to be watchful and prayerful.

This is my prayer for you: You will not fall victims in this terrible disasters happening all around. The Lord will see you through all this turbulent times. Remember be watchful and prayerful.

Good Morning and have a beautiful day.
