Answer 1

End Time Signs
False Christs/prophets (Matthew 24:4; 24:11): "For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many," "...and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people." This sign may be fulfilled by the proliferation of cults in our modern world; those who claim to have been given new revelations.

Wars and Rumors of Wars (Matthew 24:6): "Your will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom."

Famines (Matthew 24:7): "There will be famines...in various places."

Earthquakes (Matthew 24:7): "There will be...earthquakes in various places. All of these are the beginning of the birth pains."

Religious persecution (Matthew 24:8): "Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me." There is active persecution of Christians going on all over the world, hot spots include India, China, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Saudi Arabia.

Increase in Wickedness (Matthew 24:12): "Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved." Inhumanity of man towards man, genocide, mass murder, acts of hatred and wickedness, curruption, betrayal, duplicity and intolerance are fulfillments of this sign.

The worldwide dissemination of the Gospel (Matthew 24:14): "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come." The sharing of the Good News by evangelists, missionaries, and individual witnesses, whether in person, or via radio, TV, or the Internet, are fulfillments of this sign.

The Sign of Noah (Matthew 24:37-39): "As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away." The rise of commercial culture and consumer society, anything that takes up time and fills the daily life of people to such an extent that they have little time for God and are not aware of the signs of the Lord's return.

Signs and wonders in the heavens (Luke 21:11): "There will be...great signs from heaven..." Meteors, and other signs and wonders in the skies are fulfillments of this prophecy.

Pestilence (Luke 21:11): "There will be...pestilences in various places..." The spread of diseases, viruses and plagues are clear fulfillments of this prophecy.

Fearful Events (Luke 21:11): "There will be...fearful events..." Large scale events which generate fear and anxiety and contribute to a general feeling that things are out of control, events that in their severity may turn people back to God, and the realizaiton that He is still in control. Natural disasters, floods, tornados, cyclones, weather extremes and the rise of 24 hour coverage of "news events" may all be fulfillments of this prophecy.

Signs in the Sun, Moon, and Stars (Luke 21:25): "There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars." The onset of Solar Max, solar storms and flares, variations in lunar luminosity, eclipses, and recent Hubble discoveries of new stars and galaxies may be fulfillments of this prophecy.

Fear and Apprehension for the Future (Luke 21:26): "Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken." This prophecy clearly suggests that people will be aware, at the end time, of an event that will come upon the world, an event that will generate terror and apprehension. Things upon which people had an unshakable certainty will be shaken, causing many to fear for the future. Y2K hysteria, global warming, species extinction, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and similar global concerns may be fulfillment of this prophecy.

In addition, several Tribulation Indicators are also followed, including:
The progress of the Middle East peace process towards a final settlement or covenant (Daniel 9:27): "He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.' In the middle of the 'seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering . And on a wing [of the temple] he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him."

The establishment of a new Jewish Temple (Daniel 9:27; Matthew 24:15): "So when you see standing in the holy place 'the abomination that causes desolation,' spoken of through the prophet Daniel, then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains."

The growth of world community (Revelation 11:9): "For three and a half days men from every people, tribe, language and nation will gaze on their bodies and refuse them burial. The inhabitants of the earth will gloat over them and will celebrate by sending each other gifts, because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth."

Mark of the Beast - advances in biometrics and smart card technology that would facilitate the mark of the beast (Revelation 13:16-18), the number of man, 666: "He [the second beast] also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name."

The creation of an international alliance of 10 states (Revelation 17:12-14) to empower the beast: "The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast. They have one purpose and will give their power and authority to the beast."

The disposition of military forces in and around Jerusalem (Ezekiel 38:8; Zechariah 12; Luke 21:20; Revelation 19:19): "In future years, you [Gog] will invade a land that has recovered from war, whose people were gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate. They had been brought out from any nations, and now all of them live in safety. You and all your troops and the many nations with you will go up, advancing like a storm; you will be like a cloud covering the land."

"I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves...On that day, the Lord will shield those who live in Jerusalem...On that day, I will set out to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem."

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

"Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against the rider on the horse and his army. But the beast was captured and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf."

Answer 2

The seven year tribulation theory is what the bible calls a cunningly devised fable. It is based on the false premise that tribulaton is wrath, and God's people are not appointed to wrath. This system of false prophecy is called dispensationalism and was mostly perpetuated by Cyrus Scofield, a masonic heathen who conspired with the illuminatti to deceive believers in churches, and well it pretty much worked, accept on God's true remnant of which the bible says cannot be deceived. Matt.24:24 The bible says we must thru much tribulation enter into the kindom of God. Acts 14:22 There is not space enough to go into all the predominate errors in end times eschatology running rampant. But suffice to say, that the bible says people will be marrying and giving in marriage right up to the end, basicly going about their business. Matt.24:37-38. This indicates that the signs will be right in front of peoples faces, but they will not recongnize them unless God reveals it to them. The true understanding of bible prophesy is the most incredible thing I know of, as Jesus Christ is the spirit of prophecy. Rev. 19:10 If you want to know the true preaching of the gospel and not a counterfeit, then check the link below, and for starters, listen to Satan in the Temple of the Lord.

Answer 3

The Bible claims that persecution is going to get worse (and many Christians here claim that just about anything that smacks of giving equal time to other faiths is somehow persecution), wars, famines, and floods (except of course that there always have been plenty of all three), and a new Temple has to be built (the problem being that the location is a Muslim Holy site...good luck getting the Temple built!). Of course, it says a lot of crazy things too, like stars dropping from the skies (neat trick, that, considering what they really are), hail, fires, earthquakes (when have we not had a lot of these too?), locusts with the stings of scorpions, evil horses with human heads and seas of blood and a series of "beasts" like things out of a Godzilla movie, all kinds of things.

Interestingly, the imagery from The Apocalypse is deeply imbedded in the religious traditions of John's time. As many scholars have argued, almost all beasts, eagles, locusts, dragons and acts of nature John describes stem from the long standing tradition of Jewish religious culture -- and even date back to the Zoroastrianist apocalyptic of the ancient Iranians. The symbol language John uses would clearly have been understood by the faithful from John's days.

Just once I'd like to see a myhtology that didn't end in a spectacular bang. Just for the sake of variety.

Answer 4

Rather than give you a specific sign or signs, I suggest that you read the eschatological discourse of Jesus which you will find in the synoptic gospels - Matthew 24; Luke 21; and Mark 13. I also suggest that you get hold of a reliable Bible commentary when you read this discourse because you can easily make a wrong interpretation. It would also help if you pray for guidance before you read the discourse.

Answer 5

Nothing, really. Jesus tells us that there will be bad things such as wars and persecutions and earthquakes, but He also warns us that these things do not mean "the end," even if we assume that they do mean "the end."

Jesus tells us clearly that we do not know the day nor the hour. He also tells us that "the end" will come when we least expect it.

Remember, too, that this world ends for each and every one of us on the day we die. For most of us, it's not going to be as dramatic as we may imagine it to be.

Answer 6

BIBLE FOR END TIMES

Moses at 857 to 897 years after the flood at Deut.34:7; and death at age 120 Gen.6:3;
and leaving Psm.90:10 to say old age and death would be more near to age 70 and by the time of king David 1303 to 1333 to 1373 after the flood 1Ki.2:10,11; his death was at age 70.
The KJV Bible 1611 CE published plus 303 years at 1914 CE an excepted translation by law of man and God for the last days or end times beginning with the last soil after Eden coming to be organized to participate in WW1 and followed by WW2 and the holocaust, so wars and rumors of war is one thing, but the whole world at war is another Matt.24:3 [ end ],7,14,15,22,34,36-38 [ Only God knows day and hour that Rev.12:3,4,6-11,12; Satan's short time ends here at Rev.20:1-6,12,13 [ No Satan for 1000 years ];

But from Moses 1110 years of bible books as we have 39, all done 443 years before Christ in O.T., it is amazing we get this in as good a condition as it is in. Then the 50 to 100 after Christ the N.T. books of 27. Theses 66 books are as much and more than any human can learn in a lifetime. The truth is here. Behavior as Noah, Enoch, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph as just men knowing they did not create themselves and all they did see and having respect for the one who did was what they did.
Once the theme of the bible is established [ and not a fragment of this, that and the other ], it is in harmony from Genesis to Revelations dealing with the impossible, so much so that king David wondered why God would bother, HE HAS PLANS TO SAVE THE OFFSPRINGS OF ADAM, NOT DESTROY THEM AND START OVER.

HOW MUCH BOOK DO WE NEED TO TELL US ALL IS LOST AND IN THE PROCESS OF BEING SAVED AS ANGELS AND THE HEAVENS AND MAN FOR HEAVENS AS ANGELS TO REPLACE SATAN AND UNHOLY ANGELS AND BE WITH JESUS FOR THE 1000 YEARS TO NEW HEAVENS AND MAN FOR EARTH UNTO THE NEW EARTH IS ALL INVOLVED. 2Pet.3:13; Isa.4:18; 65:17; 66:1,22,23; Rev.21:1-5 ALL MADE NEW.

WHAT ARE WE BEING SAVED FROM AND WHAT ARE WE BEING SAVED INTO AND WHAT ALL IS LOST THAT MUST BE SAVED?

Eph.2:7; 3:21; The world with Jesus is without end. John 3:16;

Answer 7

In Matthew, Jesus said there would be wars in one place after another, food shortages, earthquakes, pestilence....Also the book of Timothy said children will be disobedient to parents; unthankful, disloyal, having no natural affection, men who lie with men, thieves, greedy persons, fierce without love of goodness. Everything we are seeing today. I never read anything about "7 years" in the Bible...Hope this helps.

Answer 8

The sign (singular) is when you see the abomination of desolation as spoken of by Daniel the prophet then know that the end of this age is near. Your own personal sign is when your laying somewhere, either in a hospital bed, or in a tragic accident, takeing your final breaths of life, know that your end is near.

Answer 9

The Rising of the Anti-Christs!

Answer 10

The signs are floods and earthquakes.
but WAIT, havent' there always been floods and earthquakes, oops, maybe there are other signs that have never happened before, like Global warming.

Answer 11

Some beast flying out of the ocean with "666" tattooed on its head. Check it out, it's there. Revelations. That's actually pretty stupid if you think about it.
