Signs of the End Times
1) Evil will come upon the Jews due to their evil – Deuteronomy 31:24-29.
So
it was, when Moses had completed writing the words of this law in a
book, when they were finished, that Moses commanded the Levites, who
bore the ark of the covenant of the
Lord, saying: “Take this Book of the Law, and put it beside the ark of
the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there as a witness
against you; for I know your rebellion and your
stiff neck. If today, while I am yet alive with you, you have been
rebellious against the Lord, then how much more after my death? Gather
to me all the elders of your tribes, and your
officers, that I may speak these words in their hearing and call heaven
and earth to witness against them. For I know that after my death you
will become utterly corrupt, and turn aside from
the way which I have commanded you. And evil will befall you in the
latter days, because you will do evil in the sight of the Lord, to
provoke Him to anger through the work of your hands.”
2) People will selfish and self-centered in the last days – 2 Timothy 3:1-5.
But
know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will
be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers,
disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving,
slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4traitors,
headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
having a form of godliness but denying its power.
3) Scoffers of Messiah Jesus Christ will be prevalent in the last days before their destruction 2 Peter 3:1-10.
Beloved,
I now write to you this second epistle (in both of which I stir up your
pure minds by way of reminder), that you may be mindful of the words
which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment
of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior, knowing this first: that
scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own
lusts, and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the
fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the
beginning of creation.” For this they willfully forget: that by the
word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of
water and in the water, by which the world that then existed perished,
being flooded with water. But the heavens and the earth which are now
preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of
judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But, beloved, do not forget this
one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a
thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning His
promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not
willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the
heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt
with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be
burned up.
4) Jews will understand the anger of the Lord in the latter days – Jeremiah 23:18-20.
For
who has stood in the counsel of the Lord, and has perceived and heard
His word? Who has marked His word and heard it? Behold, a
whirlwind of the Lord has gone forth in fury— A violent whirlwind! It
will fall violently on the head of the wicked. The anger of the
Lord will not turn back until He has executed and performed the
thoughts of His heart. In the latter days you will understand it
perfectly.
5) Russian and Muslim armies will invade the land of Isaiah in the latter days – Ezekiel 38:1-9.
Now
the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Son of man, set your face
against Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and
Tubal, and prophesy against him, 3and say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD:
“Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and
Tubal. I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you
out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all splendidly clothed,
a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords.
Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya are with them, all of them with shield and
helmet; 6Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmah from the far
north and all its troops—many people are with you. “Prepare yourself
and be ready, you and all your companies that are gathered about you;
and be a guard for them. After many days you will be visited. In the
latter years you will come into the land of those brought back from the
sword and gathered from many people on the mountains of Israel, which
had long been desolate; they were brought out of the nations, and now
all of them dwell safely. You will ascend, coming like a storm,
covering the land like a cloud, you and all your troops and many
peoples with you.”
6) Messiah GOD will destroy the Russian and Muslim armies in the latter days – Ezekiel 38:14-23.
“Therefore,
son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “On that
day when My people Israel dwell safely, will you not know it? Then you
will come from your place out of the far north, you and many peoples
with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty
army. You will come up against My people Israel like a cloud, to cover
the land. It will be in the latter days that I will bring you against
My land, so that the nations may know Me, when I am hallowed in you, O
Gog, before their eyes.” Thus says the Lord GOD: “Are you he of whom I
have spoken in former days by My servants the prophets of Israel, who
prophesied for years in those days that I would bring you against them?
“And it will come to pass at the same time, when Gog comes against the
land of Israel,” says the Lord GOD, “that My fury will show in My face.
For in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath I have spoken: ‘Surely
in that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel, so
that the fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, the beasts of the
field, all creeping things that creep on the earth, and all men who are
on the face of the earth shall shake at My presence. The mountains
shall be thrown down, the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall
fall to the ground.’ I will call for a sword against Gog throughout all
My mountains,” says the Lord GOD. “Every man’s sword will be against
his brother. And I will bring him to judgment with pestilence and
bloodshed; I will rain down on him, on his troops, and on the many
peoples who are with him, flooding rain, great hailstones, fire, and
brimstone. Thus I will magnify Myself and sanctify Myself, and I will
be known in the eyes of many nations. Then they shall know that I am
the Lord.”’
7) Messiah God will destroy the invaders and coastlands with nuclear fire – Ezekiel 39:1-8.
“And
you, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, ‘Thus says the Lord
GOD: “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and
Tubal; and I will turn you around and lead you on, bringing you up from
the far north, and bring you against the mountains of Israel. Then I
will knock the bow out of your left hand, and cause the arrows to fall
out of your right hand. You shall fall upon the mountains of Israel,
you and all your troops and the peoples who are with you; I will give
you to birds of prey of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be
devoured. You shall fall on the open field; for I have spoken,” says
the Lord GOD. “And I will send fire on Magog and on those who live in
security in the coastlands. Then they shall know that I am the Lord. So
I will make My holy name known in the midst of My people Israel, and I
will not let them profane My holy name anymore. Then the nations shall
know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel. Surely it is coming,
and it shall be done,” says the Lord GOD. “This is the day of which I
have spoken.”
8) The Jews will come back to God but after many years without king or sacrifice – Hosea 3:4-5.
For
the children of Israel shall abide many days without king or prince,
without sacrifice or sacred pillar, without ephod or teraphim.
Afterward the children of Israel shall return and seek the Lord their
God and David their king. They shall fear the Lord and His goodness in
the latter days.
9) Jerusalem will be exalted in the latter days – Isaiah 2:1-3.
The
word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and
Jerusalem. Now it shall come to pass in the latter days that the
mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established on the top of the
mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; And all nations shall
flow to it. Many people shall come and say, “Come, and let us go
up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; He
will teach us His ways, and we shall walk in His paths.” For out of
Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
10) People will go to Jerusalem to hear and learn from Messiah GOD – Micah 4:1-2.
Now
it shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the
Lord’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and
shall be exalted above the hills; And peoples shall flow to it.
Many nations shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the
mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach
us His ways, and we shall walk in His paths.” For out of Zion the law
shall go forth, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
