End Times photos and images, in this Signs of the End Times study, that
you will truly enjoy. Some of the images in this study may appear a lil
strange and even a bit ominous. But, so are the events of the
"END TIMES"
Let Us Begin Our Journey ...
Many of you are concerned
about the events that are taking place, at this time, in our world. The
events in the Middle East especially where Israel is involved ... Wars
... Terrorist threats ... New diseases ... Violent crimes ... Wicked
Weather ... Increase of natural disasters such as hurricanes which have
now actually destroyed large areas and even devastated entire
communities along the coasts of America and other nations ... Even the
divisions in family such as the divorce rate, which is skyrocketing and
is a definite sign of
love waxing cold
which Jesus foretold as being a sign of the End
Times.
These events and circumstances
surrounding us may appear to be the End Times Signs ... But, are they?
It very well may be. The Bible is clear as to which End Times signs we
are to watch for, so let us seek the TRUTH together.
God made it
clear that He is the one and only TRUE God and that He is the God of
prophecy.
|
Isaiah
46:9-10
Remember the former things
of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am
God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end
from the beginning, and from ancient times the
things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel
shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: |
The term "END TIMES" is used to
define Bible prophecy of the last days. This time period is also called
Apocalypse and Doomsday by many. We will study these prophecies from the
books of Revelation, Daniel and also from the Olivet Discourse (Located
in the Gospels)
The
"END TIMES" is a phrase used
to describe a time of great tribulation like never before.
|
Matthew 24:21
For then shall be great
tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of
the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. |
And, it very well may be YOUR future. But, I want
you to know that It is clearly written in the Bible, that nobody knows
the day or the hour of the "END TIMES"
|
Matthew 24:36
But of that day and
hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven,
but my Father only. |
And that day,
comes as a thief in the night.
|
2 Peter 3:10
But the day of the Lord
will come as a thief in
the night; in
the which the heavens shall pass away with a great
noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent
heat, the earth also and the works that are therein
shall be burned up. |
We are ALSO
told to WATCH and BE PREPARED, so that day does NOT come upon us as a
thief in the night.
|
Matthew 24:42-44
Watch therefore:
for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
But know this,
that if the goodman of the house
had known in what watch the thief
would come, he would have watched,
and would not have suffered his house to be broken
up.
Therefore be ye also ready:
for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man
cometh. |
The number one
question that EVERYBODY wants to know is ... Will the
"END TIMES"
occur in our
lifetime ??? They also wonder WHY it is that if nobody is to know what
day and hour the END TIMES will happen ... WHY they should even worry
about it?
There is another
scripture that answers these questions.
|
1 Thessalonians 5:1-6
But of the times and the seasons,
brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
For yourselves know perfectly
that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the
night. For
when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden
destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a
woman with child; and they shall not escape.
But ye, brethren, are
not in darkness, that that day should overtake you
as a thief. Ye are all the children of light,
and the children of the day: we are not of the
night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep,
as do others;
but let us watch
and be sober. |
It says that,
even though that day will come as a "thief in the night" upon many
souls, that the children of the light will not have that day overtake
them as a thief. A child of the light, is a child that is enlightened
... One that knows what is to be and is prepared at any given hour.
|
Revelation 3:3
Remember therefore how thou hast
received and heard, and hold fast, and repent.
IF therefore thou shalt
not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou
shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. |
So the answer
to the question of "Why we should even worry about it" is ... It could
come at any time and we need to be prepared. This leaves us with three
simple questions ... We will look into all three of these questions and
seek the answers together ...
|
What happens during the End Times?
What signs do we watch for?
How do we prepare for End Times ?
|
WHAT HAPPENS
DURING THE "END TIMES"
There are many books in the
Bible that foretell of the events that will occur during the
"END TIMES",
but there are three books that really sum it up well and these three
books will be where we will focus our search. These books are
Revelation, Matthew and Daniel. The books of Mark and Luke also speak of
this time period.
Luke 17:22-37
...
Luke 21:7-36
...
Mark 13:1-29
We will begin with Matthew
Chapter 24, the Apostles asked Jesus, exactly what we are asking
... In verse 3, they asked, WHAT shall be the signs of the End
Times? Jesus answered their questions in what is known as the
"Olivet Discourse", which simply means that His response to
their questions, was given upon the Mount of Olives.
Chapter 24 of the book of
Matthew, starting with Verse 4, is His response ...
FALSE
CHRISTS
|
Matthew 24:5
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am
Christ; and shall deceive many. |
This means that
many will show up and claim to be Christ. We have seen many false
christs and false prophets as of late. Many had their followers die for
them and their cause, only to find out that they were not Christ as they
pretended to be.
This left many
families and loved ones broken hearted. It also left many afraid to hear
the Word of God from those who are truly sent to share it. So, how do we
know if someone who claims to be Christ, is the REAL Christ?
Jesus, Himself
told us the answer. Jesus will not come back and be in a secret place
with some sect or group of people. He will come from the Heavens, and
ALL eyes shall see Him.
|
Acts 1:11
Which also said, Ye men of
Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into Heaven? This
same Jesus, which is taken up from you into Heaven,
shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go
into Heaven. |
|
Revelation 1:7
Behold,
He cometh with clouds; and every eye
shall see Him,
and they also which pierced Him: and all kindreds of
the earth shall wail because of Him. Even so, Amen. |
Jesus then spoke
of another sign to watch for ...
WARS AND RUMORS OF WAR
|
Matthew 24:6
And ye shall hear
of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not
troubled: for all these things must come to pass,
but the end is not yet. |
This
means that there will be wars and constant talk of war.
Just look around you to see if that is occurring.
It used to be that if two or more countries were at war, it was
something MAJOR. These days, there is a war going on somewhere,
every day. There are so many wars, that we have become immune to the
news reports about them.
But, Jesus said
that these are just signs that tell us that the End is near, not
here.
Jesus then
spoke of another sign to watch for ...
FAMINES
|
Matthew 24:7
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom
against kingdom: and there shall be famines. |
I often wonder if
He is referring to the millions of Americans that are homeless, or the
starving children from other countries that we see on television. This
may just be a prelude to a worldwide famine, that we are to
expect.
Jesus then spoke
of another sign to watch for ...
PESTILENCES
|
Matthew 24:7
And pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. |
Pestilences are
Diseases. Well, now let's see ... We have everything from mad cow
disease to S.A.R.S. to A.I.D.S.. We even have a new one called the H591
bird flu. Millions of people are infected with the deadly A.I.D.S. virus
and as popular as sex is, we ought to have that number multiplied many
fold as the years pass. Not to mention the thousands of other diseases
killing off our society every day. With the new threat of terrorist's
using chemical weapons to fight ... It is very conceivable that
pestilence could be a major factor in the "END TIMES" ...
And what of the
Earthquakes that Jesus prophesied would come? Are the Earthquakes not
becoming more frequent just as He predicted?
THEN JESUS
SAID ...
Wow ... That is
just the BEGINNING of the horrible events ahead.
Jesus then spoke
of another sign to watch for ...
CHRISTIANS
KILLED
|
Matthew 24:9-14
Then shall they deliver you up to be
afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of
all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be
offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate
one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and
shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound,
the love of many shall wax cold. |
Many Christians
will be killed for their beliefs ...
Jesus also shares with us that a sign of the End Times beginning is that
Love shall wax cold.
People go from hello to "I do"
without considering what lies ahead. People get married for all the
wrong reasons. Then, after months and even years of pain, arguing and
hatred, they do what has to be done ... They divorce. This division of
family leaves our children angry, hurt and lost.
The children then make poor choices and
some even become extremely violent. With this type of behavior being
exercised and taught to our children, it has become a vicious cycle that
has become a trend of disobedience and hatred, which are signs of the
"END TIMES"
Betrayal and hatred rule.
|
2 Timothy 3:1-7
This know also, that in the
last days perilous times shall come. For men shall
be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters,
proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents,
unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection,
trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce,
despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady,
highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of
God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the
power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort
are they which creep into houses, and lead captive
silly women laden with sins, led away with divers
lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the
knowledge of the TRUTH. |
This causes
division, even between family members and those who are not Christians
will seek out those who are Christians and the Christians will be
killed. But those that keep their Faith, will be saved.
|
Matthew 24:13
But he that shall endure
unto the end, the same shall be saved. |
Jesus then spoke
of another sign to watch for ...
GREAT TRIBULATION
|
Matthew 24:15-29
When ye
therefore shall see the abomination of desolation,
spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy
place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then let
them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: Let
him which is on the housetop not come down to take
any thing out of his house: Neither let him which is
in the field return back to take his clothes. And
woe unto them that are with child, and to them that
give suck in those days! But pray ye that your
flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath
day: For then shall be great tribulation, such as
was not since the beginning of the world to this
time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days
should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved:
but for the elect's sake those days shall be
shortened. |
Jesus says, at the
time we see the "abomination of desolation" set up in Israel, that the
"END TIMES"
are upon us. The abomination of desolation is where someone defiles the
holy place in Jerusalem as prophesied in the book of Daniel.
|
Daniel 9:26-27
And after threescore and
two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for
himself: and the people of the prince that shall
come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and
the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the
end of the war desolations are determined. And he
shall confirm the covenant with many for one week:
and in the midst of the week he shall cause the
sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the
overspreading of abominations he shall make it
desolate, even until the consummation, and that
determined shall be poured upon the desolate. |
Keep in mind that Jesus referred us to the book of Daniel. Therefore ...
We should keep an eye on Israel and this
abomination of
desolation
... The Bible
also says that when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies ... It is
time for the
"END TIMES" ...
|
Luke 21:20
And when ye shall see
Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the
desolation thereof is nigh (near) ... |
A nd that we should expect the
worst tribulation the world has
ever seen.
Now, I do not
know about you, but I would think that the World Wars, Plagues that
killed hundreds of thousands of people, the Holocaust and even as far
back as the Great Flood of Noah's time could be considered as being VERY
bad tribulation, but, according to the Bible, these events will pale in
comparison to what happens during the
"END TIMES"
JESUS CONTINUES
...
|
Matthew 24:23-29
Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there;
believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs,
and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and
wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they
shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told
you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you,
Behold, He is in the desert; go not forth: behold,
He is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as
the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth
even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the
Son of man be. For wheresoever the carcase is, there
will the eagles be gathered together. Immediately
after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be
darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and
the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of
the heavens shall be shaken.
|
WHEN YOU SEE
ALL THESE THINGS HAPPEN ... BEWARE
|
Matthew 24:29
Immediately after the tribulation of those days
shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not
give her light, and the stars shall fall from
heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be
shaken |
