.."Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming and the end of the world?"

Question

Jesus is sitting with his disciples on the Mount of Olives when they asked Him this question in Matthew 24. Is there a certain "sign" mentioned here that tells us we are near the end of the world? Please be specific.

Answer 1

verse :32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
That happened in 1948..Israel became a State

Answer 2

When Jesus'disciples asked Him about "the end of the world," they weren't talking about "world" in the sense of our physical planet, the earth. The Greek word translated "world" is aion, from which we get the English word eon. The two mean essentially the same thing—an age, an epoch, an era .

Christ's followers well knew the many prophecies of the Old Testament that foretell the coming age of the Messiah. Our present time, the time of human rule on earth under the deceptive sway of Satan (1 John 5:19), is described by the apostle Paul as "this present evil age" (Galatians 1:4).

Another Greek word translated "world" in the New Testament is kosmos, which denotes the ordered world around us—that is, not the physical planet we live on but man's society and geopolitical dominion. This is what will end.

Answer 3

There are three signs actually mentioned here. (1) When shall these things be, (2) What shall be the sign of thy coming, and (3) the end of the World.

(1) He had just spoke to them in referance to the destruction of their temple. (2 and 3)

"They" intreperted his message as pertaining to his coming as a Military Leader, to wage war against those who would destroy the temple.

"They" (like most today) missed the point of what he was saying when he told them "see ye not all these things, There shall not be one stone left upon another that shall not be thrown down.

He answered them, but not in a way or time period they were expecting.

HOWEVER!

Jesus said at the time of his earthly visit, that "no man" knows the "day" nor the "hour." Not even "himself" (At The TIme.)

However, after his resurrection and accending into heaven, and being seated at the right-hand of the Father. All things have been revealed to him.

This is seen in the opening introduction of the Book of Revelation.

The Book of Revelation came first from the Mind of God, to Jesus, to his angelic messanger, to John the revelator, and then, to us.

It is true that no man knows the "day" nor the "hour" today.

However, the "signs" that Jesus, and the Bible reveals, "after" his resurrection shows us "Clearly" today, we are living in, the "last" of the "last" days. And all is pointing to and signaling, his return.

Answer 4

There is one sign Jesus gave: "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a witness to all the nations (ethnic groups), and then the end shall come" (Matthew 24:14)
Hope everyone out there is doing something about it !!

Answer 5

Doomsday cults and naysayers have been predicting the end of the world for a couple thousand years already. The last one was last June (6/6/06) and nothing happened. The dozens of previously predicted armageddons also did not happen. Logically, one can assume that the next handful will be total crap as well.

Jeebus ain't comin', Cletus.

Answer 6

We don't know when the end will come. God says it will come like a thief in the night.

I see 2500 of so years from creation to the flood.?
Then we have about 2500 years from the flood to the first coming of Christ.?
We are 2007 years from the Crucifixion.
If we look at the world in thirds we've got about 493 or so years.

Answer 7

i understand who you think of those quotations consult from. yet upon what, different than prejudice & superstition, are you able to in all threat got here across one among these thought. Isaiah 7;14 is without doubt one among the main contentious verses interior the Bible. the unique Hebrew "ha-almah" (a youthful woman) replaced into rendered into Greek as "parthenos" (a virgin). additionally, Hebrew scholars argue that Isaiah 7;14 is interior the present (no longer destiny) annoying, so as that the reference is to something happening interior the reign of Ahab. So the thought Isaiah 7;14 refers to Mary & Jesus is a mistake based upon a mistranslation. yet as quickly as this identity replaced into made later Christians (ignorant & uncritical as they have been) purely parroted the lie Jesus replaced into born of a virgin. additionally, Jesus is meant to be a descendant of David. however the line of descent from David is thru Joseph. So the two Jesus replaced right into a descendant of David or he replaced into born of a virgin; the two statements are on a similar time unique (if one is real, the different is immediately fake). what's the component of attempting to convince a sect that's so obtuse as to be no longer able to enjoy such an obtrusive component of excellent judgment.

Answer 8

I think what Nigh Shade quoted from the Bible is right on- 'the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;

This is what we call the Three Days of Darkness.

Prepare your soul for this day.

Answer 9

"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." Matthew 24:14.

I'm sure you have read that verse several times. You must have assumed that Christians get the gospel right. This is not so. To start with, the Mission of Jesus Christ has nothing to do with the flesh. In the Garden of Eden in Paradise, the spirit of man died to GOD. The purpose of Jesus Christ is to bring man's spirit back to Paradise in the kingdom of GOD. He does this by His resurrection. Baptism, when correctly performed, unites one with Jesus Christ in His death and resurrection. If that happens, one is born of water. This gives the spirit the opportunity to participate in divine knowledge of good and evil, 2 Peter 1:4, rather than Adam's. If this happens, that spirit is born of Spirit, John 3:5&6. That one has the righteousness of GOD by faith. As Jesus Christ says, that soul of that one shall enter into the kingdom of GOD.

Briefly, here is what Christians are missing:
1. Jesus Christ says: "This is my blood of the NEW
Covenant which is poured out for many for the
forgiveness of sins." Matthew 26:28. Forgiveness of
sins is impossible outside this Covenant.

2. The power of baptism to bond is in the New Covenant.
The promise of GOD that He would save us is in this
Covenant. But Alas! Christian practice has
completely ignored this Covenant.

3. Christians have even been bold to change the
condition for man to enter into the kingdom of GOD.
Jesus Christ says: "I tell you the truth, no one can
enter the kingdom of GOD unless he is born of water
and the Spirit." John 3:5. This has been replaced with
'give your life to Christ'. Whose teaching is that?
Jesus Christ warns: "For I did not speak of my own
accord, but the Father who sent me commanded me
what to say and how to say it. I know that his
command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is
just what the Father has commanded me to say."
John 12: 49&50. In that case, the process of how
one becomes born again has no variation.

4. Jesus says: "The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts
for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are
spirit and they are life." John 6:63. "We know that
the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a
slave to sin." Romans 7:14. These mean nothing to
Christians.

5. Jesus says that even the Temple in Jerusalem is no
more a suitable place to worship GOD. Paul, guided
by the Spirit says: "The GOD who made the world
and everything in it is the LORD fo heaven and the
earth and does not live in temples built by hands. And
he is not served by human hands, as if he needed
anything, because he himself gives all men life and
breath and everything else." Acts 17:24&25. If you
are born of Spirit and you are a Temple in which
GOD lives by His Spirit, where do you worship Him?
If GOD gives all men life are you not rejecting yours
if you gave it back to him?

6. Lastly for now, Christians put New Wine in Old
Wineskins. Matthew 9:16&17.

We shall end with this quotation: "As for the person who hears my word but does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I did not come to judge the world but to save it. There is a judge for the one rejects me and does not accept my words; that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day." John 12:47&48. This says the same thing as Matthew 24:14.

Answer 10

Verse 29

Immediately after the distress of those days
" 'the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.'
