What Are the Signs of the End Times?

Predicting the End of the World and Popular Misreadings

Predicting the end of the world can mean big money, especially when those predictions involve the Bible. But despite some of the more popular biblical interpretations, the end will not be revealed in red or blue moons, or signs on billboards, or encoded in random Bible passages, or in best-selling books, or in a financial collapse, or in Shemitah ob-goblins, or whatever that was called, or in what's happening to Israel in the Middle East.

Jesus on Wars, Rumors, and the Beginning of Birth Pains

Jesus said there will be wars and rumors of wars. Nation would rise against nation, and there would be famines and earthquakes in various places. But this is not the end. So what will be the signs of the last days?

False Christs, False Prophets, and the Deception of the Elect

Well, Jesus went on to say that false Christs and false prophets would arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you beforehand. The Apostle Paul said, Understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty.

For people will be lovers of self, lovers of pleasure, rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. The time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears, they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.

Scoffers, Antichrists, and the Real Signs to Watch For

Peter said scoffers would come in the last days, following their own sinful desires. And John said many antichrists have come, so we know it is the last hour. So, what we should be looking out for is not a red moon or a Shemitah.

It's false teachers, when we understand the text.
