Sign of the Coming of Christ

Mathew 23:31

Today we may wonder what is happening in this world - much of what is happening is the things that the bible says would happen prior to the coming of Christ. In Mathew 23:4-13, Jesus warns us and tells us what will happen, as He answers the question of the disciples "What shall be the sign of thy coming and of the end of the world?" (Mathew 23:3):

"Take heed, that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars; see that ye be not troubled: for al these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet, against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. 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 many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure, the same shall be saved."

As you can see as you look around you, many of these things have begun to come to pass; we need to be strong in Christ and to trust him, regardless of what happens and must be faithful for His name's sake.

God bless you and have a great day!
