RE: RE: Dear God....DC Signs of the Times - What Are the Signs of Christ's Imminent Return?
More signs of Christ's return exist today than at any time in history. In Matthew 16 v.3 Jesus rebuked the people of His day for failing to recognize the "signs of the times" that heralded His first coming. How much more reason do we have today to recognize the signs of His second coming?
We are surrounded by so many obvious signs that one would have to be blind not to see them, yet some fail to recognize them even when they are called to their attention. Especially with all of the aids we have in this modern age such as books, Internet research & study, radio & television, study guides, tapes, VCR's and the ability to communicate with others via phone, church, meetings, ect. Much easier than in the days of Jesus by far.
Two signs predicted by the Hebrew prophet Daniel for "the time of the end" should be obvious to all. The increase in travel and the increase in knowledge. The speed of travel is dependent on the increase in knowledge. More than in any age before this one, men are "running to and fro on the earth", just as the Bible predicted for "the time of the end"
"For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilence, and earthquakes in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows." (Mat. 24 v.7-8)
