False Christs/prophets (Matthew 24:4; 24:11):
"For many will come in my name, claiming,
'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many," "...and many false prophets will
appear and deceive many people." This sign may be fulfilled by
the proliferation of cults in our modern world; those who claim to have been
given new revelations.
Wars and
Rumors of Wars (Matthew 24:6): "Your will
hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such
things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against
nation, and kingdom against kingdom."
Famines (Matthew 24:7): "There will be famines...in various places."
Earthquakes (Matthew 24:7): "There will be...earthquakes in various places. All of
these are the beginning of the birth pains."
Religious persecution (Matthew 24:8):
"Then you will be handed over to be
persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of
me." There is active persecution of Christians going on all over
the world, hot spots include India, China, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Saudi
Arabia.
Increase in Wickedness (Matthew
24:12): "Because of the increase of
wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end
will be saved." Inhumanity of man towards man, genocide, mass
murder, acts of hatred and wickedness, curruption, betrayal, duplicity and
intolerance are fulfillments of this sign.
The worldwide dissemination of the Gospel (Matthew
24:14): "And this gospel of the kingdom
will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then
the end will come." The sharing of the Good News by
evangelists, missionaries, and individual witnesses, whether in person, or via
radio, TV, or the Internet, are fulfillments of this sign.
The Sign of Noah (Matthew 24:37-39):
"As it was in the days of Noah, so it will
be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people
?were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day
Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the
flood came and took them all away." The rise of commercial
culture and consumer society, anything that takes up time and fills the daily
life of people to such an extent that they have little time for God and are
not aware of the signs of the Lord's return.
Signs and wonders in the heavens (Luke 21:11):
"There will be...great signs from
heaven..." Meteors, and other signs and wonders in the
skies are fulfillments of this prophecy.
Pestilence (Luke 21:11): "There will be...pestilences in various places..." The spread of diseases, viruses and plagues are clear
fulfillments of this prophecy.
Fearful Events (Luke 21:11): "There will be...fearful events..." Large scale
events which generate fear and anxiety and contribute to a general feeling
that things are out of control, events that in their severity may turn people
back to God, and the realizaiton that He is still in control. Natural
disasters, floods, tornados, cyclones, weather extremes and the rise of 24
hour coverage of "news events" may all be fulfillments of this prophecy.
Signs in the Sun, Moon, and Stars (Luke 21:25):
"There will be signs in the sun, moon and
stars." The onset of Solar Max, solar storms and flares,
variations in lunar luminosity, eclipses, and recent Hubble discoveries of new
stars and galaxies may be fulfillments of this prophecy.
Fear and Apprehension for the Future (Luke 21:26):
"Men will faint from terror, apprehensive
of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken."
This prophecy clearly suggests that people will be aware, at the end time, of
an event that will come upon the world, an event that will generate terror and
apprehension. Things upon which people had an unshakable certainty will be
shaken, causing many to fear for the future. Y2K hysteria, global warming,
species extinction, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and
similar global concerns may be fulfillment of this prophecy. (famine, pestilence, earthquakes, drought, natural disasters, wars, false christs, and false prophets)
& The Verichip Revelation, Chapter 13 11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. 15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. 16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Facts 1. it will be a man's number 2. no one will be able to buy anything without it 3. no one will be able to sell without it 4. those refusing it will be seen "enemies of mankind" 5. it can be implanted in the right hand or the forehead Don't accept this mark!
