00:00: Today's question is, are we living in the end times? In this video I'll answer that question from a biblical perspective.
00:07: Then afterwards, as always, I'll share some helpful resources, so stick around until the end.
00:20: The Bible prophesizes of many events that will occur in the end times. These events can be categorized as natural signs, spiritual signs, sociological signs, technological signs, and political signs.
00:34: We can look to what the Bible says about these things, and if the signs are present in abundance, we can be certain that we are, in fact, living in the end times.
00:45: Luke 21 verse 11 lists some of the natural signs that will occur before Jesus' second coming.
00:51: There will be great earthquakes, famines, pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.
00:59: While we shouldn't interpret every natural disaster as a sign of the end times, an increase in the natural disasters seem to be a warming up of what is coming next—birth pangs, as Jesus called them,
01:11: Matthew 24 verse 8. The Bible lists both positive and negative spiritual signs.
01:18: In 1 Timothy 4 verses 3 -4, we discover that many people will follow false teachers.
01:24: We see now an increase in cultic groups, heresy, deception, and occultism, with many choosing to follow
01:31: New Age or pagan religions. On the positive side, Joel 2 verses 28 -29 prophesies that there will be a great outpouring of the
01:41: Holy Spirit. Joel's prophecy was fulfilled on the Day of Pentecost, Acts 2 verse 16, and we are still seeing the effects of that outpouring in revivals and Spirit -led
01:52: Christian movements, and in the worldwide preaching of the gospel message. Along with the signs in the natural and spiritual realms, there are signs in society.
02:02: The immorality rampant in society today is a symptom of mankind's rebellion against God. Abortion, homosexuality, drug abuse, and child molestation are proof that evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse.
02:17: 2 Timothy 3 verse 13, We are now living in a hedonistic and materialistic society.
02:24: People are lovers of themselves, looking out for number one and doing what is right in their own eyes.
02:29: All these things and many more can be seen around us every day. See 2 Timothy 3 verses 1 -4.
02:37: The fulfillment of some end -time prophecies seemed impossible until the advent of modern technology.
02:43: Some of the judgments in Revelation are more easily imagined in a nuclear age.
02:48: In Revelation 13, the Antichrist is said to control commerce by forcing people to take the mark of the beast.
02:56: And given today's advances in computer chip technology, the tools he will use may very well be here already.
03:03: And through the Internet, radio, and television, the gospel can now be proclaimed to the entire world.
03:09: Mark 13 verse 10. And there are political signs. The restoration of Israel to her land in 1948 is the single most impressive fulfilled prophecy, proving that we live in the end times.
03:24: At the turn of the 20th century, no one would have dreamed that Israel would be back in her land, let alone occupying
03:30: Jerusalem. Jerusalem is definitely at the center of geopolitics and stands alone against many enemies.
03:38: Zechariah 12 verse 3 confirms this. On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her,
03:45: I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves.
03:52: Matthew 24 verses 6 and 7 predicted that nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom.
04:00: Wars and rumors of wars are definitely characteristic of this present age. These are just a few of the signs that we are living in the end of the age.
04:09: There are many more. God gave us these prophecies because He does not want anyone to perish, and He always gives ample warning before pouring out
04:16: His wrath. 2 Peter 3 verse 9. Are we living in the end times? No one knows when
04:22: Jesus will return, but the rapture could occur at any moment. God will deal with sin either by grace or by wrath.
04:30: John 3 verse 36 says, Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the
04:36: Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on them. Those who do not accept
04:42: Jesus Christ as their Savior will remain under the Lord's wrath. The good news is that it is not too late to choose eternal life.
04:50: All that is required is acceptance by faith of God's free gift of grace. There is nothing you can do to earn grace.
04:58: Jesus has paid the price for you. Romans 3 verse 24. Are you ready for the
05:03: Lord's return, or will you experience His wrath? Want to learn more? Subscribe so you don't miss the next video!
