On
the Mount of Olive Jesus was asked by His disciples what about the end time
sign before His coming. As Matthew 24:3, “Then
as He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, his disciples came to him privately, saying,
"Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of your
coming, and of the end of the age?" Jesus gave some sign that will
tell that His second coming is near_
The
sign of Jesus second coming is related with the temple of Jerusalem and the
nation of Israel. Jesus prophesies at Matthew 24:32-35, “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: when its branch becomes
tender and it puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. In the same way
you also, when you see all these things, you know that the time is near, right
at the door. Truly I tell you: this age will by no means pass away until all
these things have taken place. Sky and earth will pass away, but my words will
certainly not pass away until all these things have happened”. That the
nation of Israel will be restored, this will be the sign of His second coming.
It had been happened at May14, 1948. At that day the prophecy was fulfilled.
The second prophecy is related to temple will rebuild, at
BC-500, Denial 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”. Jesus himself told His disciples, at Mathew 24:15, “So when you see standing in the holy place 'the abomination that causes desolation,'
spoken of through the prophet Daniel-let the reader understand). Also Saint
Paul told by Jesus at 2Thessalonians 2:1-4, “4He will oppose
and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so
that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God”.
So, three people Denial, Paul and Jesus himself told that the temple will be
rebuilt and is the sign of second coming of Jesus Christ there will conduct the
abomination that causes desolation. They call it dirty worship by all leaders
for the religious pluralism. The land was planning to be for the Israelite. But
God revoke some of the Promised Land to the un-Godly people from the children
of Him. This is the sign of end time. But after the creation of philistines as
a nation the temple of Jerusalem will be built. And the Anti-Christ will
worship God with the philistine. That will be used by the Roma Pop, Greek
Orthodox, Buddhist Monks, Jouster (Iranian) Monks, Hindu priests and Islam
Khalip. This is the sign of second coming of Jesus. Everything is happening as
God’s plan. So we all have to evangelize to as many as possible.
Talking
of ‘peace and safety’ also is a sign
of the last days. It’s in the Bible as, 1Thessalonians 5:2-3, “For you know very well that the day of the
Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, ‘Peace and safety,' destruction will
come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not
escape”. Now days it is one of the most
common issue that talking about. All religious leader even Vatican Pope also
talking about this issue (religious pluralism).
Also
trials and false teaching will mislead God’s children, as Matthew 24:9-15, “At that time they will deliver you over to
trial, and you will be hated by all nations because of my name. And then many
will be scandalized, and others will betray and hate each other; and many false
prophets shall arise, and lead many astray. And because of the increase of
lawlessness, the love of many will grow cold. But the person who remains to the
end, that one will be rescued. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached
in the whole inhabited earth, for a witness to all nations, and then the end
will come.”
Today’s
Christianity is in danger as the heresy teaching took place in our Christian
community. Now a day many churches and bible schools are not preaching or
teaching the solid Christology. As a result majority of the Christian people
are not well informed about the deity and humanity of Jesus Christ. Growing
number of heretic denominations are forming across the world. The great number
of theologian and pastors are teaching religious pluralism, denying the deity
of Jesus Christ. Some of them also acknowledge the deity of Jesus Christ but
not in the full scale. They only understand the partial deity of Jesus Christ.
There has been the major debate in the Trinity about the issue of Jesus Christ
doing the church in the church history. Also the Christology became the major
topic to divide the denomination and hates each other. Jesus told His
disciples, rejection of Jesus Christ will be the end time sign and second
coming of Jesus Christ.
There have some other biblical references that given bellow of the end
time sign_
As
Luke 21:25-26, “There will be signs in
the sun, moon, and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and
perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. Men will faint from terror,
apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be
shaken”.
Christ's
and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles. As Matthew
24:4-6, “And in answer Jesus said to
them, "See that no one misleads you. For many will come in my name,
saying, 'I am the Christ,' and they will deceive many.” And as Matthew
24:23-25, “At that time, if anyone says
to you, 'Behold, here is the Messiah,' or "There is the Messiah,' do not
believe it. For there shall arise many false prophets, and they will perform
great signs and miracles, so as to deceive if possible, even the elect. See, I
have told you ahead of time”.
There
will be wars, though they may seem overwhelming, it is not the end. It's in the
Bible, Matthew 24:6, “You 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”.
That is happening now a day’s whole of the world.
Earthquakes
and famines, and all the signs are only the contractions of what's coming. It's
in the Bible, Matthew 24:7-8, “There will
be famines and earthquakes in
various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains”. It is also one
of the major world issues.
The coming of the Antichrist is a sign of the end. It's
in the Bible, I John 2:18, “Little children, it is the last hour; and as
you have heard that the Antichrist is
coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is
the last hour”.
What
moral conditions will be characteristic of society in the last days?
It's in the Bible, 2Timothy 3:1-5, “But
mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers
of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their
parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without
self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited,
lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—having a form of godliness but
denying its power. Have nothing to do with them”. All the satanic character
will be raise in human life.
The
gospel will go to the whole world and the end will come. It's in the Bible,
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”.
What are people
to do when they see these things taking place?
It's in the Bible, Matthew 24:42-44, “So be prepared, for you don't know what day your Lord is coming. Just as a man can prevent trouble from thieves by keeping watch for them, so you can avoid trouble by always being ready for My unannounced return”. Also as Luke 21: 28, “Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.” Jesus told us to be prepared for the end time is near.
