SIGNIFICANT SIGNS

“What the world needs now is the Lord Jesus and the full force of His anointed power! As we look around we can see the demon powers at work striking out at every part of our nation, and at every section of the world! One has a spiritual sense that things are rising to a head and that the age is swiftly moving towards a climax!” – “We have seen in the past the profound changes that have greatly affected this nation and it will be affected even more. The world is passing from one shock to another, from one startling event to the next! As the news said, who knows what’s going to happen next!” – “I can answer that, plenty! Things never seen before will occur! Explosive events lay just ahead that will shake society, later placing it into the hands of the unified system and control!” – “Except for the children of the Lord, society is in confusion and absolutely headed in the wrong direction! Although to the world it will finally seem right, but it will not end right! A cloud of delusion is descending on mankind; a great snare is being placed before the nations!” – “Now is the day of salvation and deliverance, for soon it will be too late even for this!”

“There is one thing for certain, the Lord is well aware of all occurrences upon the earth! He alone is the answer, the only one who can help the children of men!” – “By the urgency in my heart I know time is short, and we will soon fly away!” For some valuable information let’s read Ps. 90:1-6, “Lord, thou has been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God! . . .

Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men! For a thousand years in thy sight are but as ‘yesterday’ when it is past, and as a watch in the night! Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up! In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth!” – vs. 9 shows the shortness of our time, it says, “we spend our years as a tale that is told!” vs. 10, “reveals the average age of those living upon the earth! Then it says for it is soon cut off and we then fly away!” – “Prophetically speaking we are about ready to do this, and it is even possible that it is sooner than most think!” – vs. 12, “So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom! This verse has a dual meaning concerning life, but it also means for us to keep track of the signs around us, so we can be aware of His approach!” – vs. 13 says, “Return, O Lord, how long? – We know because that Israel is in their homeland it will not be long, and it will occur in our generation! If the true Church will apply their hearts unto wisdom, He will reveal the nearness of His appearance!”

Jesus gave us certain signs to watch for; we will list a few! . . . “That there would be a population explosion, coupled with famine bringing disaster world-wide! Pestilence and disease would increase all over the world!” – “The powers of the heavens would be shaken (atomic inventions)! Because of the coming of the Lord and the terrifying events that would follow, men’s hearts would fail!” (Luke 21:26)

“National distress and disturbances! . . . Wickedness as in the days of Noah! . . . Scoffers concerning His coming!” “Lawlessness! . . . Jews would return to Israel, plus the wealth of the Jews in the latter days!”

“The disobedience of the youth! . . . The betrayal of loved ones! The sign of apostasy everywhere!”

“Many different Peace Conferences in vain, including man’s last Peace Conference! (I Thess. 5:3 – Dan. 11:44-45)

“The signs of devilish doctrines! . . . Note: In some places in the United States they are even using children for human sacrifices, plus the worship of Satan; and the practice of Voodoo and witchcraft! Coupled with drugs, orgies and debauchery, etc.!”

“One other significant sign . . . the Bible says we would see the fruitfulness of the land of Israel and this has come to pass – vegetation, flowers, trees and etc.!” – “At the end of the age, Christians would forsake God for worldly pleasure! Also the rise of cults and false prophets would be in every nation! Truly this is very significant and is increasing daily!”

“As far as the world is concerned Jesus’ coming will be sudden and unexpected!” – “Already we can see the shadows of the anti-Christ beginning to appear, so we know that Jesus is coming very soon!”

The news said, “It seems that everything in this world is corrupted or headed that way! Pollution, disease, hunger, war, politics, the economy, youth, drugs! It asked, when will it end? How can we get out of this mess? Who will straighten it out?” – “They said it will take a real super leader! And there is just that type personality rising and gaining power!” – “The Bible definitely teaches as the age ends there will arise in the world a great deceiver, a man of tremendous power, a fascinating personality who will represent himself even as God! But the real truth is that he is Satan’s masterpiece! Paul speaks of this personage in II Thess. 2:4 as the son of perdition! He will manifest powers that will deceive the world! One who understands dark sentences! He will delude the masses and draw forth their admiration!” – “He will be charismatic, surrounded with an element of mystery! He will intoxicate mankind with delusion; a world of make believe and fantasy! But it will all be lies and deception!” – “My opinion is, that these events are very near indeed!”

In these next Scriptures it reveals the last great battle and God’s intervention! Ps. 46:8-9, “Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations He hath made in the earth!” . . . “He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; He burneth the chariot in the fire!”

“We know that it will not be long until all of these events take place, so let us watch and pray, and let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us! Yea, establish it! Amen!” (Ps. 90:17) – “Yea, the harvest is ripe!”

In His abundant love,
