False
Bible teachers would be money hungry. They would be smooth talkers, have many
followers, and slur the Christian faith (2 Peter 2:1-3)
Homosexuality
would be increasingly evident at the end of the age (2 Timothy 3:3)
Earthquakes
would be in diverse places (Matthew 24:7)
Stress
would be part of living (2 Timothy 3:1)
Many
wars would erupt (Matthew 24:6)
People
would forsake the Ten Commandments as a moral code, committing adultery,
stealing, lying, and killing (Matthew 24:12)
There
would be a cold religious system, in denying God’s power (2 Timothy 3:5)
Men
would substitute fantasy in place of Christian truth (2 Timothy 4:4). This is
so evident at Christmas when the birth of the Saviour is lost behind the myth
of Santa Claus.
Deadly
diseases would be prevalent (Matthew 24:7). The worldwide increase in AIDS
deaths is almost inestimable.
The
fact that God once flooded the earth (the Noahic flood) would be denied (2 Peter 3:5-6). There is a
mass of fossil evidence to prove this fact, yet it is flatly ignored by the
scientific world because of its uncanny implication.
The
institution of marriage would be forsaken by many (1 Timothy 4:3)
There would be an increase in famines
(Matthew 24:7)
Vegetarianism
would increase (1 Timothy 4:3-4)
There
would be a cry for peace (1 Thessalonians 5:3)
The
possession of Jerusalem would be at the centre of international turmoil (
Zechariah 12:3)
Knowledge
would increase (Daniel 12:4)
There
would be hypocrites within the Church (Matthew 13:25-30)
There
would be an increase of religious cults/false teachers (Matthew 24:11 & 24)
The
future would seem fearful to many (Luke 21:26)
Humanity
would become materialistic (2 Timothy 3:4)
There
would be many involved in travel (Daniel 12:4)
The
Christian Gospel would be preached as a warning to all nations (Matthew 24:14)
Jesus
said Christians would be hated “for His name’s sake” (Matthew24:9)
And
there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon
the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
Men’s heart failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are
coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. (Luke 21:25-26)
Youth
would become rebellious. For men shall be lover of their own selves, covetous,
boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy (2
Timothy 3:2)
Men
would mock the warning signs of the end of the age saying, “for since the
fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the
creation.” (2 Peter 3:4). The Bible even reveals their motivation, they love
lust (verse 3). They fail to understand that a day to the Lord is as thousand
years to us. God is not subject to the time that He created. He can flick
through time as we flick through pages of a history book. The reason He seems
to be silent, is because He is patiently waiting, not willing that any perish,
but that all come to repentance.
