The Bible foretells many signs that would
culminate in the last days. Jesus indicated these signs would arise
together as His return drew near (Matthew 24:33-34). Though many of these
prophecies won’t climax until
the tribulation period, our generation is the first to see every trend in place.
As the final seconds of this age
tick away, these events will come into even clearer focus. Keep in mind as you
read through this list that
these prophecies were penned 1900 to 3500 years ago! How does this relate to
you? The last several
pages provide the answer – you need to read them carefully.
1. - False Bible teachers would bring in
heresies, have many followers, and cause others to reject God's
Word (2 Peter 2:1-2). It is very common today to find people who reject the
Bible out of hand because they
have heard it misrepresented by a false teacher.
2. - These false prophets would be money hungry, smooth talkers (2 Peter 2:3). A
growing number of TV
evangelists epitomize this. They twist the Scriptures, using misleading words,
to make merchandise of the
unwary.
3. - The Christian gospel would be preached as a witness to all nations (Matthew
24:14; Mark 13:10;
Revelation 14:6). Today, portions or all of the Bible have been translated into
over 2,400 languages and
dialects covering over 90% of the world's population.
4. - Global communications foreseen (Revelation 11:9-10; 17:8). The Bible
prophesies that the entire world
will see certain events unfold. The invention of the television and the
deployment of global satellite networks
during the 20th century allow news to travel the world at the speed of light for
the first time ever. Remember
that in the apostle John's day, news traveled at the speed of horseback.
5. - Mankind would be capable of destroying all life (Matthew 24:21-22).
Consider that when Jesus made this
prophecy the armaments of His day were swords and spears. But today, with
nuclear, biological, and
chemical weapons, it is possible to wipe out all flesh on planet earth.
6. - The use of nuclear weapons anticipated (Zechariah 14:12). The neutron bomb
melts (dissolves) its
victims just as God warned 2500 years ago. "Their flesh shall dissolve while
they stand on their feet, Their
eyes shall dissolve in their sockets, And their tongues shall dissolve in their
mouths." This was unimaginable
in Zechariah's day.
7. - There would be a global cry for peace (1 Thessalonians 5:3). Never has
there been such a concerted,
global effort to bring about peace at any cost as there is today.
8. - The Antichrist would use (false) peace to destroy many (Daniel 8:23-25).
With all the problems facing
mankind, multitudes are looking for a savior to usher in peace and prosperity
without moral accountability.
The Antichrist will promise the world and Israel such a peace if they follow him
but his intentions will be
sinister.
9. - In the last days Israel would have a peace treaty in place that the
Antichrist will confirm and eventually
break (Daniel 9:27). Currently the world's governments are striving for an
Israeli peace treaty.
10. - Damascus would be destroyed (Isaiah 17:1, 14; Jeremiah 49:23-27; Amos
1:3-5; Zechariah 9:1-8).
Damascus, Syria is increasingly in the news and is extremely anti-Semitic. Many
terrorist organizations have
their bases in Damascus. God declares that they will become a ruinous heap
because they have violently
taken what was not theirs. In 2007 Israel vowed to wipe Syria off the map if
Syria attacked by chemical
weapons.
11. - Chaotic weather would be prevalent (Luke 21:25-26). Jesus foresaw the seas
and the waves roaring in
the last days. He also likened these signs to birth pangs (Matthew 24:8). The
Greek word odin, often
translated as sorrows in Matthew 24:8, literally means birth pangs. Furthermore,
the apostle Paul reminded
us that the creation itself will be delivered from the curse at the end of the
age (Romans 8:21). And that the
whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs (Romans 8:22). As delivery
draws near, birth pangs
always increase in both intensity and frequency. Therefore, the creation itself
would travail as the time of
delivery draws near. Of course chaotic weather is not new, but there are
indications that we are witnessing
an increase in strange weather.
12. - There would be a move toward a global government (Daniel 2:40-44; 7:23;
Revelation 13:7-8). The
former Roman Empire which encompassed present-day Europe would revive and
eventually dominate the
world. The European Union has steadily moved forward in its attempt to unite
Europe politically and
economically. It has succeeded in creating a European parliament, a court, and a
common currency. And
globalization is not unique to Europe, it is happening everywhere.
13. - Literal Babylon (formerly called Babel, Genesis 10:10) would reemerge in
the land of Shinar known
today as Iraq (Zechariah 5:11; Isaiah 13). Saddam Hussein spent over 20 years
rebuilding the city of
Babylon. Today, with Saddam's regime overthrown, the international community is
discussing how to rebuild
Iraq.
14. - 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 most
of the scientific world because it
was judgment from God on man's wickedness.
15. - Increased interest in vegetarianism anticipated (1 Timothy 4:3-4). The New
Age Movement has swept
the globe during the past 40 years popularizing this.
16. - Many wars would erupt (Mark 13:7-8). According to Project Ploughshares,
there are dozens of major
armed conflicts in the world today.
17. - Ethnic conflicts would be prevalent (Mark 13:7-8; Luke 21:10). Jesus used
the Greek word ethnos to
describe the last days battles. Today, as never in history, we have ethnic group
rising against ethnic group.
18. - The earth would be filled with violence (Luke 17:26; Genesis 6:11-13). In
the United States alone,
violent crime has increased nearly 500% since 1960. Fifty years ago abortion
(the violent murder of an
unborn child) was illegal in most countries. Today abortion is legal in most
countries and 46 million children
are aborted each year.
19. - Jesus foretold that there would be fearful sights (Luke 21:11). The Greek
word translated fearful is
phobetron, which can also be translated terror. According to the U.S. State
Department, between 1981 and
2006, there were more than 38,000 international terrorist attacks.
20. - Multitudes would travel to and fro (Daniel 12:4). Prior to the Industrial
Revolution, few individuals
traveled beyond their own communities. Until recently, horse, foot, and boat
were the only modes of
transportation. Yet today we travel by car, bus, plane, train, subway, etc.
Millions and millions are running to
and fro just as Daniel prophesied 2500 years ago!
21. - Knowledge would increase (Daniel 12:4). Today we are witnessing an
explosion of available knowledge.
With the advent of the Internet, it is estimated that our cumulative knowledge
is doubling every five years.
This exponential increase is beyond what anyone could have imagined!
22. - Deadly diseases (which the Bible calls pestilences) would be common
(Matthew 24:7; Revelation 6:8).
Emerging diseases such as AIDS, ebola, Hanta virus, Dengue, West Nile, SARS,
bird flu, etc., underscore
this fact. Ironically, just a few decades ago, some scientists were forecasting
that advances in medicine might
soon eradicate deadly diseases.
23. - The final generation would be open to receiving a mark on their right hand
or on their forehead
(Revelation 13:16). Consider how the up and coming generation is tattooed,
pierced and marked with all
kinds of insignia. And today, for the first time in history, global tracking and
marking technology is available.
24. - A global economic system would exist (Revelation 13:16-17). This was
unthinkable in the apostle John's
day. Yet today, globalists in every level of government are seeking to unite the
world. Connecting the world
monetarily is crucial to their goal.
25. - A man would control all banking and commerce (Revelation 13:16-18).
Remember, this prophecy was
penned 2000 years before our computer-driven society. Yet, until recently, you
couldn't have even dreamed
how a person could control all commerce.
26. - Famines would be common (Luke 21:11; Revelation 6:5-8). According to the
United Nations, an
estimated 854 million people went hungry in 2006.
27. - Great signs from heaven prophesied (Luke 21:11, 26). Unexplained sightings
in the sky appear to be
increasing. For instance, since 1947 UFO testimonies have exploded - terrifying
many. Each year thousands
of unidentified aerial sightings are reported.
28. - The sun would scorch the inhabitants of the earth (Revelation 16:8-9). In
recent years, solar activity
has intensified markedly. Though this prophecy is clearly a divine judgment on
unrepentant mankind, a
compromise in the earth's atmosphere due to nuclear war or other ecological
disaster could facilitate this
judgment.
29. - The nation Israel would be born in one day (Isaiah 66:8). On May 14, 1948
Israel became a nation.
30. - The Jews would begin to regather in Israel (Isaiah 11:11-12; Ezekiel
37:21-22; 38:8; Luke 21:29-31).
Over five million Jews have returned to Israel in recent times! This is
unprecedented in human history. Never
has a people group been dispersed for hundreds of years to every corner of the
globe, and then regathered
back to their homeland. Yet, God said it and He has done it before our very
eyes!
31. - Returning Jews would come from the north, south, east, and west (Isaiah
43:5-6; Jeremiah 31:7-10).
Amazingly, nearly a million Jews have emigrated from Russia in the north. Over
100,000 Ethiopian Jews have
emigrated from the south (Zephaniah 3:10). Since 1948, Jews have emigrated from
Europe, Asia, the
Americas, everywhere!
32. - During the diaspora (the dispersion of the Jews to the four corners of the
globe), Israel would become a
wasteland (Deuteronomy 29:23-28; Ezekiel 36:8-11; Ezekiel 36:33-36). During the
past 1900 years Israel
became a nearly uninhabited, desolate wasteland.
33. - Israel, once a desolate desert, would blossom in the last days and export
produce to the world (Isaiah
27:6; 35:1-2; Ezekiel 36:34-36). Israel's increased rainfall and world-renowned
irrigation technology have
caused the land to blossom. Incredibly, as foretold, they currently export over
800 million dollars worth of
fresh produce each year, including over 200 million in flowers and ornamental
plants!
34. - Israel would prosper economically (Ezekiel 38:12-13). Amazingly, this
recently regathered, often
attacked, tiny nation exported over 42 billion dollars worth of goods in 2006.
This was inconceivable a
century ago! In contrast, their neighbor Jordan exported less than 5 billion in
2006.
35. - Israel would once again plant vineyards (Joel 3:18; Amos 9:13-15). Today,
sweet wine flows from the
Golan Heights and many other vineyards on the mountains of Israel.
36. - The last days Jews would plant forests of trees. The Bible even specifies
the variety of trees, cedar,
acacia, myrtle, oil, cypress, pine, and box (Isaiah 41:18-20). Since 1900 more
than one billion trees have
been planted in Israel! This has happened in our day after Israel lay barren for
nearly two millennia.
37. - A pure language would be restored (Zephaniah 3:9). At the end of the 19th
century the Zionist
movement brought about the revival of Hebrew as a spoken language. In 1948,
Hebrew became an official
tongue of the state of Israel. Originally there was only one language (Genesis
11:1) and this pure speech will
be restored (Isaiah 19:18). Interestingly, Hebrew has no swear words.
38. - Jerusalem would be rebuilt on its own ruins (Jeremiah 30:18; Zechariah
12:6). Since 1948, Jerusalem
has been rebuilt on the old ruins exactly as foretold.
39. - Jerusalem would be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles
are fulfilled (Luke 21:24). Since
70 A.D., Jerusalem had been trampled by Gentiles until the Jews regained control
of the city during the 1967
Six-Day War.
40. - Anti-Semitism worldwide anticipated (Deuteronomy 28:37; Jeremiah 29:18;
44:8; Luke 21:20-24;
Revelation 12). History confirms that the Jews have been persecuted as no other
people group. Hitler tried to
exterminate them, and the Antichrist will attempt the same during the
Tribulation. Today, anti-Semitism is a
global epidemic. For example, of over 700 General Assembly resolutions passed
since the establishment of
the United Nations in 1945, nearly 450 condemn Israel. None have been passed
against any Arab country
nor any Arab terrorist organizations! In other words, out of 190 nations in the
UN, over 60% of all General
Assembly resolutions rebuke just one member, Israel!
41. - All surrounding nations would be united against Israel (Psalm 83:4-8;
Zechariah 12:2). This hasnever
happened in history. Yet today, Israel is surrounded by Muslim nations sworn to
her destruction. Muhammad
said: The Hour (last day) will not be established until you fight with the Jews,
and the stone behind which a
Jew will be hiding will say 'O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill
him.'" (Sahih Al-Bukhari, vol. 4,
b. 52, Hadith # 177).
42. - Jerusalem would be a cup of trembling to all surrounding peoples
(Zechariah 12:2). Jerusalem is a
small city, with no natural resources, no port, insignificant manufacturing and
industrial capability, yet its very
existence causes the surrounding nations to shudder.
43. - Jerusalem would be a burdensome stone to all nations (Zechariah 12:3).
Almost daily the world news
reports on the conflict over Jerusalem. The United Nations, the Vatican, and
many world leaders want to
make it an international city. However, God says that the city is His and He has
given it to the Jews forever
(Genesis 15:18; Leviticus 25:23; 2 Chronicles 6:6). All who burden themselves
with it will be "cut in pieces."
Despite God's warning, UN resolution 476 flagrantly reiterates that Israel's
claim to Jerusalem are null and
void. As a result, most countries refuse to transfer their embassies to
Jerusalem - Israel's capital.
44. - Israel would be invincible (Zechariah 12:6-9). Since 1948, tiny Israel has
been attacked in three major
wars and several lesser wars. Yet despite being vastly outnumbered, they have
defeated all attacking foes.
Even during the final battle, when it looks like Israel will be destroyed, the
Lord shall deliver her (Jeremiah
30:3-7; Zechariah 14; Mark 13:14-20). An invincible Israel makes no sense unless
you believe God's Word.
45. - Israel would be partitioned by all nations (Joel 3:2; Daniel 11:39). This
is another unimaginable
prophecy! In 1947, UN Resolution 181 planned the partitioning of Israel.
Currently, the West Bank and Gaza
have been seperated into Jewish and Palestinian settlements. Dividing Jerusalem,
Judea, and Samaria are
also being negotiated today in order to create a Palestinian state.
46. - The Eastern Gate would remain closed until the Messiah returns. At
Christ's Second Coming, He will
enter Jerusalem through the now sealed Eastern Gate (Ezekiel 44:1-3). Today, as
prophesied, the Eastern
Gate remains sealed.
47. - The nation of Israel, which had been divided into two kingdoms since the
time of Solomon (950B.C.)
Israel in the north and Judah in the south would be one united nation in the
last days (Ezekiel 37:15-22). And
so it is, Israel is one nation.
48. - The returning Jews would have no king until Jesus returns (Hosea 3:4-5).
As foretold, Israel has been
without a king for over 2500 years. Amazingly, not only is Israel no longer a
theocracy, but today the Jewish
state is governed by a democracy comprised of multiple political parties.
49. - Rebuilt temple in Israel anticipated (Daniel 9:27; 12:11; Mark 13:14; 2
Thessalonians 2:4; Revelation
11:1-2). The prophet Daniel, Jesus, Paul, and John all refer to the temple in
the last days. Therefore we
know it must be rebuilt. Preparations by the Temple Institute are nearly
complete!
50. - The temple sacrifices would be reinstituted in Israel in the last days
(Daniel 9:27; 12:11). Daniel foresaw
the Antichrist ending the daily sacrifices. Therefore, the Jewish sacrificial
system must have first been
restored in the last days. Currently, the Temple Institute has created the
temple furniture, vessels, and
priestly garments. There are also several hundred young Jewish men in training
for the Levitical priesthood.
51. - A red heifer without blemish must be born and sacrificed to purify the
temple in Israel (Numbers 19:2-9).
The Temple Institute is actively seeking to acquire a kosher red heifer.
52. - Though Israel would be the focus of many fulfilled prophecies, most Jews
would remain blind to the fact
that Jesus is their Messiah until the very end (Luke 19:41-42; Luke 13:34-35;
Romans 11:25-26).
53. - Ancient Petra (Sela the rock city) in Jordan would exist and become the
refuge for the fleeing Jews
during the Tribulation (Isaiah 16:1-4; Matthew 24:16; Revelation 12:6, 14). In
1994, Jordan and Israel signed
a peace treaty making Petra a potential refuge for fleeing Jews.
54. - Russia (Magog) would rise as a military power and lead an attack on Israel
(Ezekiel 38). Today, most of
the southern states of the former Soviet Union are both military powerhouses and
Muslim.
55. - Israel would dwell without walls prior to the invasion from the north
(Ezekiel 38:8-11). As foretold, Israel
now dwells "without walls" or bars or gates. Untill 1900, most Middle East
cities and villiages were fortified.
Yet modern weaponry (jets/missiles) can "ascend...covering the land like a
cloud" making these barriers
obsolete.
56. - Iran (Persia), Sudan (Cush), and Libya (Put) would also partake in this
attack on Israel (Ezekiel 38).
Anti-Semitism in the Islamic world is rampant. According to the Koran and Hadith,
Muslims are commanded to
fight and slay non-believers in Jihad (holy war) unless they convert to Islam (Surahs
9:5 and 47:4; vol. 1, b.
2, Hadith # 24 and 35).
57. - Turkey (Gomer) would also join in the attack on Israel (Ezekiel 38). In
2002, Turkey elected a pro-
Islamic party to govern the country. In 2005, Hitler's anti-Semitic manifesto
Mein Kampf became a bestseller
in Turkey. In 2007, Turkey elected an Islamist president.
58. - Ironically, Egypt and Jordan would not participate in this attack (Ezekiel
38). Interestingly, these two
nations have signed recent peace treaties with Israel. Egypt in 1979 and Jordan
in 1994.
59. - Birds of prey would eat the dead flesh of the enemy armies that fall in
battle against Israel (Ezekiel 39:4,
17; Revelation 19:17-21). It is a little known fact that Israel is the bird
migration capital of the world. During
the spring and fall migrations, billions of birds fly over Israel. Many of these
migratory birds are raptors,
carrion (dead flesh) eating birds of prey. In fact, 34 species of raptors
migrate over Israel.
60. - The Euphrates River would be dried up (Revelation 16:12). Today, the
massive Ataturk Dam in Turkey,
completed in 1990, can hold back the Euphrates to a trickle.
61. - Asia (the kings from the east) would be capable of deploying a
200-million-man army duringearth's final
days (Revelation 9:14-16; 16:12). Bear in mind, when John penned this prophecy
2000 years ago, there
were only an estimated 170 to 400 million people on the entire planet. Yet
today, according to the CIA, China
alone has 281 million men fit for military service!
62. - Population explosion foreseen (Revelation 7:9, 14). The apostle John, who
wrote the Book of
Revelation, was told the number of an army in the last days - 200 million
(Revelation 9:16). This was the
approximate population of the world at that time. That John also beholds a great
multitude which no one
could number coming out of the Great Tribulation at the end of the age
(Revelation 7:9, 14), indicates an
enormous number of people on planet earth in the last days.
63. - The nations would bud (Luke 21:29-32). In Scripture, the tree is often
used figuratively of a nation
(Ezekiel 31:3-6; Daniel 4:20-22). Since 1945, more than 80 former colonies have
gained their independence.
Our generation has witnessed the end of the colonial era and the budding of the
nations. Remarkable!
64. - Egypt would exist in the last days - but only as a "lowly Kingdom"
(Ezekiel 29:14-16). Egypt was one of
the world's greatest ancient civilizations. Yet today, as prophesied, Egypt
remains - but only as a third world
nation - which will "never again exalt itself above the nations" (v. 15). And
while God's Word foretold of the
demise of many other ancient people groups and kingdoms (which have long since
vanished), Egypt
remains!
65. - Great earthquakes in diverse places foreseen (Luke 21:11; Isaiah 24:19-20;
Revelation 6:12-14;16:18-
20). Seismic activity appears to be on the rise.
66. - Marriage would be forbidden by many (1 Timothy 4:3). The Bible states that
marriage is honorable
among all (Hebrews 13:4). Despite this, the Catholic Church forbids their
400,000 priests, 800,000 nuns and
numerous bishops, cardinals, and monks from marrying. The Orthodox Church, as
well as Hindus, Buddhists,
and other religious groups also impose mandatory celibacy for certain orders.
67. - Deceptive signs and wonders would abound (Matthew 7:22-23; 24:24; 2
Thessalonians 2:9). The signs
and wonders movement has swept the globe in recent years replacing the Word of
God. Experiences that
feed the senses in the name of Christ are drawing away millions.
68. - Men would be lovers of themselves (2 Timothy 3:1-2). This generation, like
no other, regards self
above all else. Self-love, self-esteem, self-reliance, self-gratification, are
encouraged by the media, schools,
psychologists, etc. In contrast, Jesus taught self-denial. Even many churches
today preach a feel good
about yourself message.
69. - Youth would become increasingly rebellious (2 Timothy 3:2-3; Mark 13:12).
No comment necessary.
70. - Humanity would become increasingly materialistic and lovers of pleasure (2
Timothy 3:1-5). No
generation in history has had so many means to entertain and arouse the senses.
Every imaginable
hedonistic pleasure is available and has become big business.
71. - Jesus said Christians would be hated for His name's sake (Luke 21:17;
Revelation 6:9-11; 20:4). The
banning of the Bible, prayer, the Ten Commandments, nativity scenes, Christmas
songs, etc., reflects this
trend. Also consider that more Christians were martyred during the past century
than during all previous
history.
72. - Homosexuality would be flaunted at the end of the age. Jesus warned that
the last days would be like
the days of Lot who lived in wicked Sodom (Luke 17:28-30). We know that the root
of Sodom's sin was pride
and complacency (Ezekiel 16:49) as it is today. However, Sodom's lasting infamy
stemmed from their
aggressive homosexual sin (Genesis 19; Jude 1:7). Today, the homosexual agenda
is flaunted and forced
upon our entire society.
73. - Substantial wealth and luxuries foreseen (James 5:1-3; Revelation 3:17;
Revelation 18). It is interesting
that 40 years ago some authorities predicted that the growing mass of humanity
was so quickly depleting the
world's resources, that many resources would be exhausted in a few decades. Yet
today, vast material
wealth and luxuries are in abundant supply just as the Bible anticipated 2000
years ago.
74. - In the last days, fallen angels would interact with mankind (1 Timothy
4:1; Luke 17:26; Genesis 6:1-4).
There has been an explosion of ET/alien reports during the past 60 years.
Studies indicate these entities
behave more like demons than space travelers. They transcend the laws of
physics, invoke fear, and deliver
anti-Christian messages.
75. - Apostasy would occur just before the Antichrist is revealed (2
Thessalonians 2:3). Increasingly,
experience-based "Christianity" is replacing the Bible as the standard for
saving faith. The ecumenical
movement is striving for unity at the expense of truth. Christ's exclusive
claims are negated in the name of
tolerance.
76. - There would be a move towards a one-world religion (Revelation 13:8, 12;
Revelation 17). Today, as
never before, we are witnessing religions joining hands in the name of peace and
tolerance.
77. - Some would say that Christ is in the secret chambers or inner rooms in the
last days (Matthew 24:26).
According to the Catholic Church, Christ is in the inner rooms of hundreds of
thousands of Catholic churches
either in Eucharistic tabernacles or monstrances.
78. - Jesus also warned that this deception would be accompanied by great signs
and wonders (Matthew
24:23-27). Currently, Eucharistic miracles are reported around the globe.
79. - A woman would call herself "queen" and head the global counterfeit church
in the last days - proving
herself an imposter (Revelation 17; 18:7). Tens of millions follow the
apparition of Mary, who is regarded as
the Mother of the Church, the Lady of All Nations, the Co-Redemptrix, and the
Queen of Heaven and Earth.
80. - The woman would also represent a great city set on seven hills (Revelation
17:9, 18). The Queen of
Heaven is considered the Mother of the Roman Catholic Church which has its
headquarters (the Vatican)
situated on seven hills. As the Catholic Encyclopedia states, It is within the
city of Rome, called the city of
seven hills, that the entire area of Vatican State proper is now confined.
81. - In the last days, this wicked woman would go out over the face of the
whole earth. She would be
associated with a global curse. Her final destination would be Babylon in the
land of Shinar (Zechariah 5).
Interestingly, the apparition of Mary claims that she will soon travel through
the entire world saving those who
look to her.
82. - Epidemic drug use foreseen (Revelation 9:21). The Greek word translated
sorceries is pharmakeia
which can also refer to drug use, both illegal drugs and mind-altering drugs.
The use of illegal drugs and the
dispensing of mind-altering drugs has risen sharply during our current
generation.
83. - Sorceries referring to witchcraft, magic, or occult practices used to
enchant and deceive are also
anticipated in the last days (Revelation 9:21; 18:23; 21:8; Isaiah 47:9-15;
Micah 5:10-15). Today, interest in
the occult is flourishing.
84. - Preparations for a global war anticipated (Joel 3:9-14; Matthew 24:22;
Revelation 16:14). Never in
history have so many nations stockpiled weapons of mass destruction.
85. - Environmental devastation of the planet foreseen (Revelation 11:18). Our
generation has done more to
ravage the environment than any previous generation.
86. - There would be signs in the sun (Luke 21:25). In recent years there has
been a massive increase in
solar activity recorded. Still future paranormal events must yet occur
(Revelation 13:13-14; 16:14).
87. - Many would call themselves the Christ (Matthew 24:5). Jesus was an
itinerate preacher who never
traveled outside the tiny nation of Israel and He had the audacity to say that
many would come in His name,
claiming to be the Christ. And yet today, multitudes within the New Age
Movement, Eastern religions, and the
cults call themselves the Christ. This is another incredible prophecy!
88. - God said that His name would be great among the nations (Malachi 1:11;
Philippians 2:9-11). Jesus in
Hebrew Jehoshuah - means Jehovah saves. As we begin the 3rd millennium, over two
billion people profess
to be Christians. Multitudes more regard Jesus as the greatest prophet and
teacher ever. As foretold, no
other name compares to the fame ascribed to Jesus Christ.
89. - Jesus prophesied that even after heaven and earth pass away, His words
would never be forgotten
(Luke 21:33). As we near the end of the age, we see that Christ's words remain
as accurate, renowned, and
relevant as they were 2000 years ago. Today, Bible societies alone distribute
approximately 500 million
Scripture portions or entire Bibles every single year.
90. - Despite the Bible's numerous warnings and last days prophecies, many
people would be taken off
guard when these events culminate (Luke 21:34-36; 1 Thessalonians 5:2-6). Take
heed to yourselves!
91. - All true followers of Christ would suddenly vanish, raptured (caught up)
by God to heaven (1
Thessalonians 4:15-17; 1 Corinthians 15:51-52). A false explanation will deceive
the unsuspecting masses
(2 Thessalonians 2:9-12). Today many apparitions, angels, ETs, channelers, and
New Agers are offering a
counterfeit explanation for this soon to take place event.
92. - During the Tribulation, innumerable multitudes from every nation would
wake up and turn to the true
Jesus of the Bible and be saved (Revelation 7:9-17; Daniel 12:10; Zechariah
2:11). See also: Acts 2:17-21).
Today, the seeds of the gospel are being spread in every nation!
93. - Many from Egypt to Assyria (Iraq and the Middle East) would call upon the
name of the Lord and be
saved (Isaiah 19:16-25). The Lord is currently moving mightily to save souls
throughout the Middle East.
Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10:13)!
94. - Some would depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and
doctrines of demons (1 Timothy
4:1). This generation has witnessed the explosion of "heavenly visitors" and
false doctrines that are
embraced by professing Christians even though their messages contradict the Word
of God. Channeling,
witchcraft, yoga, psychics, etc., have also gained in popularity though
forbidden by God (Deuteronomy
18:10-12).
95. - People would reject the sound doctrine of the Word of God and follow the
doctrines of men that appeal
to their own lusts (2 Timothy 4:3-4; Acts 20:29-30). Others would confess faith
in Christ, but not obey His
Word (Matthew 24:48-51; Matthew 7:22-23).
96. - Many would forsake the Ten Commandments as a moral code: blaspheming,
committing adultery,
disobeying parents, stealing, lying, coveting, etc. (Matthew 24:12; Revelation
9:21).
97. - Idolatry would be pervasive (Revelation 9:20; 13:12-15; 19:20; Micah
5:10-15; Zechariah 13:1-2). An
idol is anything that competes for the attention due only to our Creator.
Statues, images, charms, false gods,
angels, apparitions, as well as possessions, position, pleasure, a person, self,
and any created thing can all
become idols (Romans 1:18-25).
98. - Blasphemy would be common (2 Timothy 3:2; Revelation 16:9, 11, 21).
Consider how often people use
their Creator's name (God, Lord, or Jesus Christ) as a curse word. What they
have done is liken the One
who is the source of every blessing (eyesight, sunsets, food, family, friends,
etc.) to a four-letter curse word.
Fifty years ago, Hollywood seldom used God's name in vain. Today, nearly every
movie includes blasphemy.
99. - Sexual immorality would be rampant (Jude 18; Revelation 9:21). Keep in
mind, Jesus said whoever
looks to lust has already committed adultery in his heart (Matthew 5:28).
Therefore, God equates Internet
porn, lustful movies, TV shows, and magazines to fornication. The availability
and consumption of sensual
products has exploded in our generation.
100. - Men would sear their conscience so they could continue in sin (1 Timothy
4:2). The conscience is
where God reveals right and wrong. Con means with and science means knowledge.
Therefore we sin with
knowledge when we ignore God's moral law and violate our own conscience.
101. - Men would mock the warning signs of the end of the age saying, These
signs have always been
around (2 Peter 3:3-4). The Bible even reveals their motivation - they love
lust.
There are many more last days prophecies (several too detailed for this brief
list). However these 101
demonstrate that the Bible is the inspired Word of God. It is true that some of
these signs have been around
for millennia, but only our generation has witnessed the coming together of
every one of these events.
Contrast the Bible's 100% track record with other self-proclaimed prophetic
sources and there is no
comparison. The false prophets typically repackage and plagiarize the Bible's
prophecies for the
unsuspecting masses, or they make so many vague prophecies that one is bound to
be fulfilled.
Nostradamus did both.
If these signs alarm you, thank God, because the Lord wants to awaken you from
your spiritual slumber and
give you eternal life. To repent of your sins and place your trust in Jesus
Christ, make Psalm 51 your prayer.
Then read your Bible daily, obeying what you read. God will never let you down.
If you have never trusted Christ as your Saviour, we invite you to
get saved today.
