Introduction
Jesus Christ promised his return to the world, and throughout history, there have been signs that his return is drawing near. Certain scriptures tell us that certain events must occur before the coming of the Messiah, such as wars and natural disasters. Other events that point to the soon return of Jesus include an increase in the number of false prophets and teachers, a decrease of faith among people, and a moral decline in society. The Bible warns us to watch for and be prepared for the coming of the Lord. As time passes, we can look for the signs of Jesus’ return and wait for His coming with anticipation and hope.
Jesus Christ is the begotten son of God and the savior of mankind. His return at the end of the world is prophesied in the Bible, and believers in Christianity are eagerly awaiting the signs of his coming. In the meantime, many signs have already come to pass, which we will explore.
Signs of Jesus Christ’s Return
The Bible speaks of several signs that will appear before the second coming of Jesus Christ. These include the rise of false prophets, wars and rumors of wars, natural disasters, famine, and disease. The Bible also speaks of the restoration of Israel, the spread of the gospel to the entire world, and the return of the Jews to their homeland.
Signs That Have Come to Pass
Many of the signs that were prophesied in the Bible have already come to pass. False prophets have risen in many parts of the world, and wars and rumors of wars have been raging for centuries. Natural disasters have been occurring with increasing frequency in recent years, and famine and disease are rampant in many parts of the world.
False prophets / False Christ
There have been plenty of people in recent years who claim to be Jesus or some kind of divine being. For example, David Koresh founded the Branch Davidian church in the 1980s and declared himself to be the Messiah. In India, self-styled “living godman” Sai Baba gained a worldwide following and performed miracles that were supposedly supernatural. In more recent times, people such as Alan John Miller, founder of an Australian group known as The Divine Truth, have taken the title of “Jesus” for themselves.
While some of these people have devoted followers, the majority of Christians are not convinced that any of them are truly the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. In fact, when Jesus returns there will be no doubt.
The Restoration of Israel
The restoration of Israel is also an important sign, as it was prophesied in the Bible that the Jews would be restored to their homeland. This has come to pass with the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. Furthermore, the gospel has been preached to a large portion of the world’s population, and it continues to be spread by Christian missionaries and evangelists.
Conclusion
While we cannot be sure when Jesus Christ will return, the signs that have come to pass are a testament to the accuracy of the prophecies in the Bible. As such, we can be sure that the second coming of Jesus Christ will be a momentous event in history. Believers should continue to be on the lookout for signs of his coming and be prepared for the day of his arrival. There are many signs and these are just a few of the basic signs and the beginning of the earth’s pains. In 1948 when Israel became a nation according to scripture that would be the last generation before Jesus Christ’s 2nd coming. So the fact that some 75 years have passed by we know that we are fast approaching the final end-time events. Are you ready?
